Guest TerryH Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Which rifle would you guys rather have? A Thompson Center Classic, Thompson Center Benchmark Classic, Remington 504, or the Ruger 10/22T Target Rifle. The gun would mainly be used for squirrels and target shooting.

Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Choice of .22 Rifle No question, the Ruger 10/22 wins. Phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Choice of .22 Rifle I would say the Rem 504, but mainly just cuz I don't know much about the other guns. That 504 is expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popgun Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Choice of .22 Rifle Terry, I would go with the 10/22, but if you are actually talking about the target model bull barrel 10/22 I'd think again. I have two standard 10/22's, one blued and one stainless, and i own one bull barrel target model. The bull barrel is no better at the range than the others, and awful heavy to carry squirrel hunting. My bull barrel is a little longer than the standards, but the extra barrel length doesn't seem to help it any on the range. I have found that at 50 to 75 yards all are about the same. The bull barrel target model don't shoot any better at 100 yards than the others. Just my personal observations. .....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Choice of .22 Rifle i would definetly pick the Ruger 10/22 over any of those.we have a Browning BL .22 LR, its a neat little gun, like a mini BLR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHuntinPastor Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Choice of .22 Rifle Love my 10/22. Pretty affordable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Choice of .22 Rifle That's quite the range you have there. You have a $200 gun (10/22), $250 one(TC Classic), $350 one (TC Benchmark), and a $550 gun (Rem). Out of those guns, I would choose the 10/22 and customize it. In the end, you will have a gun that costs the same as the Rem but will outshoot it and be a lot of fun since you can get some high capacity magazines (depending on what state your from).

Guest MissouriHunter Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Re: Choice of .22 Rifle I would choose the ruger 10/22 because i own one and it's my favorite gun to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
