I need some .22LR rifle suggestions.

[Texaskev]

The 10/22 and the Marlin 60 are both very good weapons. Like has been said above, 22's MUST be kept clean. They leave a LOT of unburned powder in the action. I have had both for many years, and I will tell you this: Remington brand 22 ammo is junk..........More misfires than fires. I shoot CCI and Federal only for the 22. Both of the above rifles are very accurate, fairly inexpensive, and durable. But, every time you shoot some rounds, you must break the weapons down and clean them well!

The henry .22 is what I want, but they seem to hover around 260-350+ $ range.

Glad to hear! Thought it was "just me" for awhile there!

I have an early 20's .22 cal LR Cooey, Very reliable little bolt action repeater, tube under the barrel, been in the family long time.Originally Military I think........Never saw another one though......

dont sell out the 10/22 yet id buy one anywday of the week! keep it clean and its fine if you want a lever try to fing an old browning..my uncle has one and shoots toothpicks in half at 50 yrds with a 10$ scope..

[code200k]

i got a Marlin 795 scoped,only seen about 700 rounds and only needed one cleaning..main reason i bought it was ammo price.next gun is a 870 12gauge

I've had my 10/22 since guessing 1982, I bet it hasn't misfired 10 rounds in 20-30 thousand rounds and it very rarely gets cleaned.

If you want 100% accurate buy the Ruger 22 bolt action, my dad has one it is a sweet gun made for competition.

[UncleBubbles]

I'm on the 10/22 bandwagon, my dad has had one forever and as long as it's clean, it'll do just fine. I can hit a soda can at 100 yards with it, easily.

I like a CZ bolt action. With a bolt it cycles any ammo and wrings the most accuracy out of it.

I was thinking about the tube fed guns, and the Henry lever is probably about the cheapest out there, but I don't have any experience with them. I like a detachable magazine, makes filling it and removing it easy. You can keep a loaded mag in your pocket.

I also have a 10/22, but as mentioned, you have to keep it clean, and it might not be so fussy with some ammo.

I got a ruger carbine .22 nice gun shoots good

"I like a CZ bolt action."



The last gun I bought was a CZ 527 American 223 cal. and I absolutely love it. I put an inexpensive Burris 3x9x40 on it and it is dead nuts at 100+ yds. The single set trigger is nice, it's probably the most accurate gun I've owned.

Never seen one in a .22 but I bet I'd like it.

I have a Ruger 10/22 that I have had since I was 13 years old. I am now 46 and it still shoots like the day it was new(as long as you keep it semi clean inside). It has had thousands of rounds through it over the years. It is now wearing a camo taped stock and a silver red dot sight. I did have a trigger job done on it about 18 years ago. You can really tell it if you shoot it next to a new one. It is very smooth and deadly accurate. I would not trade it for another 22 of any kind or price. I have an old model 34 Remington that is very old. It is a bolt action with a tube feed. it will shoot any kind of shell you put in it. But my money will always be on the 10/22.

I also have a Savage 30-06 with the accu trigger. I also learned the same lesson that someone above mentioned. Savage makes a great gun, they just don't spend the bucks on the finish like a Rem or Win. Mine is not pretty.... composite stock and the finish is not a shiny blue ot black. But it shoots soooo good. The money was spent on the working parts not the outer beauty. That is all that matters to me. I didn't buy it to look at, I bought it to shoot.

If you can find a remington Nylon 66 or Mohawk 10c you've got a winner I can't remember the last misfire either gun has had in 35 years one monts a 4X Tasco the other an aimpoint 3000 I'll shoot anything but straight lead bullets without issue The 10c will cycle on just long hollow points most of the time (CCI) probably the best guns I've ever owned other than a match grade Anschuntz 22.

If you want something Accurate and reliable You're gonna want to go bigger than 22LR maybe 22 mag or 22 HMR. I've never seen or heard of anyone shoot anything accurately over 50 yards with a 22 LR.

I have a 10/22 and i probably have put 2 - 3000 rounds through it. Sometimes it likes cheap ammo, sometimes it gets fussy. You have to remember that even guns that are built not to jam and built for reliability break down or jam sometimes.
Truly it comes down to preference, and if that isn't it, then it boils to how big your pocket is.

If you're really wanting a 22 lr that will shoot without hiccups buy a breach action single shot. They can be had for as little as $100
