AJ Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? That's easy. The NEF Handi Rifle. Get it in .223 Rem and you are set for coyotes. I do not suggest a 22 lr for coyotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? IMHO the Ruger 10/22 is the best 22 long rifle out there. It is really not enough for coyotes though. I love my NEF .22 Hornet single shot, It downs the dogs out to about 150 yards. I'll be getting a couple of more barrels for it via the NEF barrel accessory program as soon as winter is over. That is a nice feature and pretty cheap too. http://www.hr1871.com/barrelAcc/index.htm BM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rolngthun Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? I would like to suggest the .223 also. My reasons are cheap to shoot and shoot very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lilcrackshot Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? NEF is great and you can't beat the 223. Had one and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robk Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? savage is the best in 22 caliber guns from the little 17hmr to the 243 all are excellent for what your looking at and will do a grea tjob for you. you can actually get them in a kit gun with scope and all and pre bore sigthed and all you have to do is pick out some roudns you want to try and go shoot them and group them and see which works best for you. also savage is great about any warranty items and are there for you 110%. take a close look at them. if i was to ever sell my encores i would buy a savage vss in 308 and the same gun in 243 or 22-250 for my other critters to shoot including yotes and hogs rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest holt525 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? I like my savage 243. and my ruger for coyotes both can shoot 800 yards no problem but a 22. is just not goin to cut it for coyote hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? I like the .22-250, I have one in a Remington 700 heavy barrel. I'd never buy a single shot rifle in my life, but that's JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? [ QUOTE ] I'd never buy a single shot rifle in my life [/ QUOTE ] Why? Not a good enough shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? That's not the reason for me not liking them, I'd be pretty impressed if I saw someone that never missed. If you needed a second shot, it's there. What if 2 or 3 yotes come out? You'd have to be a dang good shot to shoot all of them with 1 shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_218 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: Whats the best .22 rifle? You might consider a .22 Hornet Rifle, for the game you mention. the .22 Hornet is powerful enough for the game animals but much more quiet than a .223 or .243. CZ makes some excellent .22 Hornet rifles as well as a few other manufactures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
