I got a new toy today, and it doesn't have have the letters "AR" in the name or model number, in fact its not even an autoloader. I learned to shoot on an 1940s on an old Mossberg bolt action .22 in from 1949 through 1954. I still have it, with a cheap scope mounted on it and zeroed at an unbelievable range for a .22LR. I also have a "few" more bolt guns in my collection. But today a new Savage Model 10 Predator Hunter package (it comes with with scope and rings) had to follow me home.
