Ten (10) .22lr Rifles Under $200

[Usmccookie]

Bought the Savage as a Xmas present for my 11 year old. Shoots great, but had 2 light primer strikes in the first 20 rounds, the next 20 were all good.
Anything to worry about?

grab a brick and go to town. rimfire is not reliable. period.

I'm not too worried about it, just never had one that had an obviously light hit like that. All other casings had solid hits.

Also something to be said regarding many firearms needing a break in period.

And with .22, cost isn't an excuse. Put another 200 rounds through it. Also, big boxes of .22 are still mass production cheapies. There will be duds.

I think the individually placed 50 boxes of CCI are better but I'm no .22 ammo expert

Is it a semi-auto? (I can't get the link to load right now.)
On an auto, a light hit is usually because the bolt stopped a smidge short of fully closed and after the firing pin closed it the rest of the way there wasn't enough oomph left to fire it. That should get better as it breaks in, but also also try some different ammo. I've especially seen Rem. have that problem. My guns all like the Win 222/333/555, but the Fed 550-round boxes at Walmart are cheaper.

I have a couple of those. I wouldn't mind having any of them.

That Savage is a great buy. I picked up one for $99 a couple years back at the Walmart in Sturgis, MI. Spur of the moment purchase, but it was a great price for a very accurate and reliable unit. Nothing fancy, but it works.

My son is 7and I need to replace the .22 that we had.... guess I need to start paying more attention to walmart then!

Semi auto and bolt action at my local store. Cheap and good fun
