Looking for a nice .22LR
I’m looking for a nice heavy barrel .22LR for target shooting and occasional hunting.
For this one I think I want to do a synthetic stock and a *preferably stainless* bull barrel. Really, all I’m finding is the Ruger 10/22 Target Tactical that doesnt have the stainless barrel and the Marlin 795SS which I dont think looks as good as the Rugers profile. Savage doesnt seem to have anything worth looking at with these specs and I’m a little skeptical about the Sako Quad changeable barrel thing. I’d rather buy the gun in its finished form (not buy one and then change stocks, etc).
I’m new to autoloaders, but I’m not willing to sacrifice accuracy for that feature. I’m trying to stay under 800 bucks, which i dont see being a problem. Anything else worth looking at?
Thanks.

dont waste the money get a GSG or H+k better accuracy and IMO better looks

Ar-15.

actually a good number of the older tube fed Remington, Stevens & Winchester semis were designed to reliably feed shorts, longs and long rifle rounds
probably not CBs tho…LOL
Ruger
One thing very nice about bolt guns is the ammo choice. I can shoot anything from the cb short caps to the fastest .22lr ammo in my cz. Everything cycles just fine.
Some semi autos can’t handle the slower subsonics on the market, and I don’t think any of them can shoot shorts.
Bolts are nice for that. Only thing a semi auto really does as a benefit is give you a faster follow up shot. I say just learn to shoot and you won’t need that. 😆
Never noticed the difference between a semi and a bolt across the Chrony myself given identical barrel length and barrel length is exactly the crux of it considering most semis run barrels 20″ or under.
Its a big mistake to compare velocity stats from rifles with 4″s or more of difference in barrel lengths. This is where many of these stories started.
Myself, I have never been a great fan of the 10/22 primarily due to its poor barrel to reciever interface
have one not that impressed sits in safe. wanna trade for a pcp?
If you can find a BRNO model #3 or #4,you would be very happy with the results!I have had a #3 for the last 15 years and it’s one of the best(and accurate) .22 rifles i have ever shot.You just cant go wrong with BRNO/CZ rifles.

Exactly… If I were to own another 22LR it would an Anschutz…
The energy from the round is used to cycle the action. The same round in a bolt action rifle will produce a higher fps than in a semi-auto action.
I recently switched to a Volquartsen bolt handle and it rubs slightly but not every time and doesn’t cycle correctly because of this. What I have noticed is that when the bolt handle does drag the round hits roughly 1.5″ high and when it cycles normally it hits dead center like it always does…
Where I really notice the difference between bolt and semi is at 100 yards. My semi is weak, like 😳 weak at 100 yards… Same exact round in a bolt action is much, much better…
Personally I am not at all impressed with the 22LR round after owning a 24″ .25 Talondor… 😈
Try scouting around a bit on http://www.rimfirecentral.com for answers.
Might be worth a shot. ( pun intended..) 😆
Well 1st off this business about bolt actions shooting “harder” than a semi auto is old wives hokum…the projectile is long out of the barrel by the time the bolt opens. Been numerous studies on this, at best with a short carbine you “may” lose a few FPS on a RF.
Now all that said I tend to agree of currently produced rifles the CZ is a fine one…
But
Why limit yourself
You want tack driving accuracy, get a used Anschutz for roughly the same money.
Heck a 1950s vintage Heavy Barrel Mossberg model 44 will chew ragged little holes too. Grew up with a Mossberg 44 with a 3X9 Leupold on it…under about 125 yards nothing was safe.
Others are vintage Mauser .22 target models, even the Savage NRA sporters
really there are dozens of extremely high quality and extremely accurate rimfire target rifles. Yes the CZ is nice for a current production rifle but at least in my opinion its really not all that.
All depends on your ultimate purpose I guess
Don’t get me wrong, the tricked out 10/22s are nice, and I prefer synthetic stocks over wood. But no .22lr compares to the ones cz makes.
X2 X2 X2!!!!!
The CZ Varmint is stupidly accurate!!!
