First grouse .22lr suggestions

Fairly new to hunting, shopping .22LRs for grouse/small game in Quebec, Canada.

Particularly looking at the classic Ruger 10/22 and the Ruger American.

If going with the RAR, would I regret not having semi auto for grouse?

Are there other guns I should be looking at? Not wanting to break $650 cad for a 22.

Just want something reliable and nice to use. I also just appreciate a bolt action, but if it will be a detriment to grouse hunting, I would gladly go semi.

Appreciate any advice!
