Bolt-Action 22 LR, Suggestions?

[MikeDVB]

Hey guys!

I'm looking to get a 22 LR bolt-action rifle. I have been looking at the Ruger 77/22 which looks nice but is quite expensive. I also don't know anything about their "rotary magazine" as far as how well it works, and whether it's reliable or not.

On the cheaper end I see Savage Arms Mark II has a .22 LR Bolt-Action at the ~$200 mark.

Anybody have a 22 LR Rifle that is Bolt-Action that they love/would recommend?

I own several CZ 452s and can't say enough about their quality and accuracy. The CZs come in several different models and they all shoot well. I also have a Ruger 77/22 and although it is a very nice rifle I prefer the CZ. I do like the Ruger magazine better than the CZ mag though. The Ruger is in the Classifieds btw.

Get the savage.

Thinking about it :-). Trying to think where I can go to look at some rifles. Most of the shops I can remember focus on handguns and ARs.

I have had nothing but satisfaction with my Marlin 25n rifle. I picked it up mid 90's for $170-ish. It has been replaced by the Marlin 925 but it is essentially the same rifle.

Check with KS&E on Pendleton Pike for the CZ's. They have had them in stock in the past and can get them if you want.

Looks like Bradis might carry some rifles... Anybody know?

If you want to save some $ over the CZ then you owe it to yourself to look into the Savage rifles.

You'll not give up anything in the accuracy department (once you find ammo that your rifle likes, anyhow)

Savage makes the rifle you are looking for.

Try Plainfield Shooters Supply. Bob usually has some rifle out there. KS&E has the best deals on CZ but not very many guns in stock.

When I looked at the CZs (at least online) they didn't really pique my interest. Not sure what it is about them, but I just don't seem to like the aesthetics. I'll try and look at a few in person/handle them before drawing any hard conclusions though.

My coon hunting rifle is a 77/22 stainless. It's been used and abused for 10 plus years with no problems.

 

[MikeDVB]

Yeah, the 77/22 looks very nice, but is quite a bit more expensive than all of the other rifles I'm looking at as well. .

Do check out the marlin line, mine was a 981t, they have since changed the model number. Tube fed bolt gun,super accurate,right at the 200.00 mark.

 

[MikeDVB]

I've been looking at Marlin as well, just need to find some places to look at all of these .

Savage MKII

 

[MikeDVB]

Yeah, looking at that. F or FSS maybe? :-)

Get you a Savage MKII and a few different brands of ammo and have some fun.
