There are so many good ones.

Best accurate value for the money - CZ452.

Best everyday shooter/semi-auto - 10/22

Best for style points - Marlin 39a

How about the sexy lil Browning SA22 for best style points?

"Best all around" is a vague term. There are lots of quality guns. I love the CZs (have a 453 Varmint, have to go to an Anschutz to step up), had a Browning SA22 once upon a time and loved it as a carry rifle. Bought a cheap Zavastava from Bradis for my father and it turned out to be an excellent rifle.

On the flip side, while I am a Savage centerfire fan their adult .22s are cheap and crappy and I would never buy one. The Rascal is a good kid starter though.

I've put more rounds through my Ruger 10/22 than any other gun I've ever owned, and I've owned it since the mid 70's.

But my favorite .22 is my vintage 1937 Winchester Model 62 pump action.

+1 to the above, Best all around is a vague term,

whats qualifies as best,
a basic system with no ability to "modify"
a system thats easy to modify
Heavy barrels vs light or med heavy
single, bolt

just to many factors to determine what makes "best"
and IMO its what the shooter can do with the rifle, and what shooter's own experience can determine whats best for him.

popular opinions might include

Anschutz
Izhmash's IZ BIATHLON rifles
CZ
SAVAGE
Browning
Kimber
SAKO
RUGER

Me personally, I chose a newer platform, It rides on a med-heavy, free floated barrel and bedded nylon stock, basic Volquartsen trigger upgrade. thats it. Oh and its blowback system is tuned proper so there is no such thing as jam o matic, etc.
and it cost below 250$

I often shoot next to folks with decked out match rifles, the 1900 series Anschutz's, HEAVILY modded 10/22's
and I can and do shoot circles around them all day at hundreds le$$ than they have invested into their rifles.

Its all what works for your budget and imagination and then come back and tell us whats best for you!

Here is my 22's performance at 60-75 yds these are some of my trophy shots that hang in the bat cave

3 shots each

In your opinion, what is the most accurate and reliable .22 rifle.

Welcome to INGO

Most accurate : Anschutz 2013/690-U6
Best overall: Sako FinnfireII
Best everyday plinker: Ruger 10/22

 

[Bigtanker]

For the money, I believe the CZ is the absolute best you can have. The 452 is smooth and you can get the trigger to under a pound. (I think you can do that with the 455 also. Don't skimp on the scope either spend at least $250 for it.

Flavor of the month of course.

MY $.02:
Most accurate: Anschutz M2000 heavy barrel single shot with Williams Globe sights. not a field gun, but on a bench, it is tops.
Most reliable: Ruger 10/22 with Chief AJ's Scout treatment, jeweled action, trigger job and trigger stop.
Most useful: CZ 452 with Nikon BDC reticle; Accuracy that is a pleasure to carry around
Quickest to shoulder: Remington Speedmaster. Love the way this thing mounts and points.
Most fun: Nylon 66 cut down to 16.5", threaded and suppressed with an aimpoint micro.

I like my Weatherby XXII semi-auto. 40+ years old and still a tack driver.

I really want one of these in bolt action...really want.

 

[M67]

CZ 452s and 455s are nice, usually great fit and finish and they have that..."traditional rifle" look. Lots of great options on versions.

Savage also make a lot of variations on the MKII line and are accurate.

Ruger 10/22, again, LOTS of variations and aftermarket parts and accessories are damn near endless.


Sako, classic Remingtons (541s and the such), Cooper, Anschutz, Browning, all make great 22s as well.

I've handled the Primary Weapon Systems T3 once and though the action was very slick, the straight pull action on some rimfires is very cool

sorry but I'm a newbie... can you say more about what the Chief AJ scout treatment is for the 10/22?

 

[Captianbullseye]

Thank you guys for all of you opinions. I was just wanting others likes for .22 rifles, taking in any info on them.

How about the sexy lil Browning SA22 for best style points?

I forgot about the SA22. My wife has one made in 1972 that I love to see her shoot. Style points to spare.

They are nice also. I saw one for sale several months ago. I considered buying it as a "brother" to my semi, but decided to save my money. Mine will shoot one holes groups at 400 yards all day long as it is....


Just kidding.
