A 22 would have a certain cool factor, but I'd go with the 44 as well.

There are so many really fine .22's out there that I'd spring for the .44 mag in my new Low Wall, which makes a very nice hunting rifle as will as interesting plinker/SASS rifle.

If I was to buy a new 22 I'd spring for the Marlin 39a. They are pretty expensive now, so I'd probably go to a few gun shows where you'll find a lot of interesting and accurate 22's.

I have a few Remington Model 34's that you can buy cheap. Accurate rifles, tubular magazines and nice triggers, good open sights.

Your .44 mag Low Wall will be a great rifle. Good hunter, accurate and you can load it down or shoot .44 Specials. I shoot .38's when plinking with my .357 rifle.

And here I am, thinking that anything a .44 can do, a .45 is more versatile doing!

Either would be nice, but if it is an option, how about .22 Hornet (or K-Hornet = better)...?

That action seems to cry out for a medium-power, straight-walled 'older' chambering.

Also consider .32-20 (in the .308" bore is more practical, often called the ".30-20").
