I want to get a nice .22 rifle for the collection. I haven't been in the market for one in a while and would like some suggestions as to which direction I should be looking.

I think I want a bolt action with a nice trigger but if there are semi-auto models that have similar accuracy, features and price point I would consider that too. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

IMO there are certain 22's you must have.

A Cowboy Revolver (Ruger Single six)
A (Henry) lever action
A good Bolt action (CZ-452)
and any old 10/22


You can get them in any order you want :danceban:

My 22...

I've had real good luck with my Marlin Model 80C (circa 1960)...chambered in 22 short, long, and long rifle. Iron sighted bolt action 7 round detachable magazine.




Here's a good story...bought it at a Shamokin, PA flea market on a Sunday, waiting for the rifle range to open after breakfast...it was sitting in a rack with a couple of Daisy air rifles and a toy rifle. Looked at it, looked at the guy, asked him how much, he says $125...I tell him I got $100 even...he says sold. We never even discussed that it was a real rifle.

God, I love America !!

Marlin 880 SQ

I have a few .22 rifles, not sure how many. I have Marlin 60, Iver Johnson M1 carbine, some model of winchester, an old mossberg, and some others. I don't have a Savage or a 10/22 or a Kimber, but the most accurate one I have is the Marlin 880 SQ. It's far more accurate than I am. My dad refers to it as "the tack driver." I'd recommend it to anyone. I just wish it was stainless. This isn't my picture, but they all look the same.

The suggestion itschuck made. About to vuisiting rimfirecentral.com, is good. You will find alot more info their.

I bought a Savage Mark II GL, lastyear. I average 1" grps (give or take) at 50y. Thats with bulk High Velocity ammo. I haven't even tried good ammo, yet.
Ive used it more as a garden helper, than at the range.
