I think I'm going to purchase a .22 auto this summer in addition to the .357. Any recommendations? I want the most accuracy I can get without breaking the bank. Thanks.

There are reviews of the Browning Buckmark, Ruger Mark II/III, Walther P22, and now the SIG Mosquito in the review area of the forum. That would be a good start.
Also, if you were to search the site, I'm sure there are a few threads on this very topic. It's a common one, but always interesting to rehash. ;D
Let us know what you come up with...

Rugers or Buckmarks are usually the best for your money. If you get into revolvers, Smith & Wesson has nice K frame 22 rimfires.

Okay, if you are looking for accuracy, you need to look for a target (or match) model. I have a couple of Buckmarks and Ruger Mark II's. There is a big difference in the models when it comes to how accurately I can shoot them.
Also, .22's can be lumped into two groups: plinkers and target guns. The Sig Mosquito, like the Walter P22 is basically a plinker. The Ruger Mark II Compettion model is a target gun.
However, in some cases you can buy a non-target model, like the Ruger Mark II, and then buy the parts over time to improve its accuracy. I have a 10" Mark II that I added the Volquartsen kit to, and it outshoots my Competition model.
If you buy a .22 auto, becareful of the ammunition that you use. Some popular brands of ammo will not function properly in all conditions.
