Welcome to the world of firearms!
Glad to hear you're becoming a firearm owner and thanks for being a thoughtful one at that (many just buy the first thing that looks cool; looks can be deceiving).
I have to second Marlin Model 60 .22lr. I started with one used from a friend and have three now in different configurations (blued/wood, blued/synthetic, and stainless/wood). Love 'em all, and they shoot more reliably and with less fuss than a Ruger 10/22. I've had a 10/22 before, but I sold it a long time ago because it was a jam-o-matic.
Enjoy!
