You'll probably get more responses with a new thread? Time will tell I offer the incredibly boring, but financially astute,non restricted .22. No recoil to scare the fiance with, cheapest of the cheap to load, fun with ballistics at a reasonable range, lots of different configurations to buy it in, you can find them used for quite a deal, everyone should have at least one...my 2¢.

Having said that, between your two choices, I'd get the....yah I dunno, like road kill said, both restricted, and if money's an issue(when isn't it) you get to add two range memberships onto the cost? If you're set on those two ask your fiance which one she likes more('cause you want both), get her out trying some in your area?
