BIG_BUCK_1 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I am going to be buying a .22 probally by the end of the month. Any suggestions on what are some good .22's. I don't really want to spend over $175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_218 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: .22\'s Most if not all good .22 Rifles run over $200. You might consider buying a used .22 at the price you want to spend ($175). Maybe a used Ruger 10/22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: .22\'s Ruger 10/22 or marlin model 60 are both very consistant 22's. The marlin is very under rated in my opion. Around here a blued 10/22 is $174 at Walmart SS runs $214 the model 60 is about $125 for blue and about $175 for SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: .22\'s Marlin and savage both make good products. You hear a lot of good press on Savage larger Cals but not much on the plinkers. They are well worth the money. As far as getting a new one, I would spend the money on a 10/22 for my next rifle. They are very hard to beat. Later you can trick them for very little. EBAY has a ton of upgrades for VERY good prices. If youre getting one with no possibilities of upgrading as John said, the Marlin is also a great choice.

too_pointer Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: .22\'s bigbuck, what kind of action are you looking for, ( semi auto, bolt, ect. ) ?? As far as the 10/22, most have to invest more $$ to achieve decent accuracy. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volquartzen Hammer. Bolt recoil buffer. A dab of JB Weld and a couple springs. Now with these modifications it feels like an adult size gun. The factory carbine stock was way too short for me. I was originally only going to replace the stock but I figured it would make a good winter project so I ordered all the goodies and put it together. Once done I took it to the range and fed it some Winchester Dynapoints. I was really happy with 1/2" groups @ 50 yrds. My next move is to dump the cheapo Bushnell scope thats on it and upgrade to something better. Was it worth it? Yep!!, it probrably would have sat in my safe for another 12 yrs without being fired if I wouldn't have upgraded it. Now it just sits because there's too little time and too many gun that rank higher on the priority list to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Re: .22\'s [ QUOTE ] semi auto is what i would prefer [/ QUOTE ] You can buy a Remington 597 semi. It in most cases alot more accurate out of the box than the 10/22. If you like to add and tinker with parts, than the 10/22 is up your alley. Make sure it fits, the 10/22 is short and fits the kids better than adults. They are both decent .22's. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmoss Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: .22\'s I have a Savage Mark series with a Bushnell scope and love it, very accurate far out there and was under $200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaDeRonDa Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: .22\'s With most scoped Ruger 10/22s you can shoot nickels at 50yds all day long. If this is good enough for you, have at it. Ensure the contact between the barrel and stock is absent and this will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: .22\'s i bought a savage bolt action from my walmart it was like 115 bucks, took the cheap scope off it and put on a nice simmons, got it sited in, been good for 5 years, shoots accurate, can pick off an empty .22 casing from 50 yards with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG_BUCK_1 Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Re: .22\'s I just came home from the gun dealer and can say i just bought a Remington 597 for 140.00 brand new sold it to me for dealer price so i'm a little tickled normally it would have been 170.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8shooter48 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Re: .22\'s Sounds like a great deal. Have fun with it and shoot it safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Re: .22\'s Congrats Big Buck. It is more of an adult gun as far as size. If you have any problems, get back with me. I think it is much more accurate out of the box than most That price is better than what I got !! too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG_BUCK_1 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Re: .22\'s i have shot one before i just really liked the way it felt, and it shoots amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
