Best .22LR Semi-auto Value?

[rimfire_crazed]

I've been very pleased with my Marlin 795. Not infinitely customizable like the 10/22 - but its more accurate than I am and relatively inexpensive. I figure I can add some Tech Sights and purchase add'l magazines and be ready for an appleseed - for only a little more than a standard Ruger.

A little more? I was about $100 LESS when I completed my LTR build.

yeah, I don't know where you bought it but a Marlin 795 should have cost you about 1/2 of a 10/22. I got my wife one at the usually overpriced Dick's Sporting Goods, and it was only $105.

I know you said semi-auto but I have a Ruger 77/22 bolt action and it is the most amazing 22 I have ever had, will never get rid of it.

Actually, I've bought several rifles at Dick's for very good deals, when you catch them on sale. Best deal was a Remington R15 for about $850 out the door, including all the applied discounts. It stickered at $1200 at the time.
I've also picked up a couple of optics on clearance for really good deals, too.

best .22

Marlin 60

I have had the 10/22 and IMHO the model 60 is by far the king of the hill for reliability and accuracy! thats my

Cheapest I've been seeing them is about $150, plus the $25 rebate from Marlin. None of them have been on sale though, so I may be able to find one a bit cheaper if they pop up in an ad.

I really want to buy one and set it up as an LTR. I keep going back and forth between the 795 and the 10/22, and its really frustrating. I LOVE my Model 60, and that's why I'm leaning towards the 795, but a lot of the triggers are complete crap, and there is no replacements. Granted I did a trigger job on my 60 and it went from like 10lb to about 5lb, but still not like a drop in or anything. Also, the lack of aftermarket stocks has got me going crazy. I am 6'4" so a little carbine stock does not have a good LOP for me, so I'd like to get a new stock for whatever .22 I get. I have a Boyd's thumbhole for my Model 60, which I could convert for the 795, but I'm just torn.

Anyways, I will be sure to post up whatever I end up getting, but that is my thought process on the subject right now.

Big R has them for about $130 plus the rebate, and I've seen them on sale at Dicks for about $100, so you might want to check them... a brand new really nice .22 for $75 just can't be beat

10/22. Still shooting one my dad bought that's almost as old as me, maybe older. Fantastic guns, TONS of aftermarket options.

A little more? I was about $100 LESS when I completed my LTR build.

Well I broke it down like this:

$100 for 795 from Dicks(w/rebate)
$40 for 3 additional magazines from CDNN
$70 for Tech Sights
$10 for GI sling

So that'll put me at around $220 - 230ish completely outfitted. The best price I had seen lately was $190 for just the 10/22 rifle.

Ok - I just re-read the the last couple of posts: I guess I am agreeing with rimfire...the point I was trying to make is that for the cost of just a 10/22 you can have a full LTR with the 795.

Bought a S&W 15-22 last year. Thought I wanted an AR style rifle, but later traded it for a Ruger 10-22 Sporter. The Smith was ok, but mine was very pickey as far as ammo, and had several FTF's. The Ruger suited me better as far as a conventional style rifle. Replaced the stock sights with Tech-Sights, and relpaced the factory hammer with a Volquartsen target hammer. The $40 for the hammer was the best thing I did.

Just to throw this out there, I took my wife shooting with her new 795 today and it was super fun.

Spent an entire evening plinking, and even having a distance shoot-off with our friend and his son, and it only cost us about $3 of ammo. The 795 was right on target, until we shot the entire legnth of the yard (approx 100 yards) I couldn't get on paper, but I put more of that on myself than I do the gun, that was the first time I'd tried shooting a .22 from that distance.

Marlin!!

If you are wanting accessories the 10-22 is the hands down winner. Since you never said what you are thinking of using the gun for I'll guess squirrel huntingwill be in the mix somewhere. If you are walking through the woods squirrel hunting with an AR look alike you may get more attention than you want.

Get ruger 10/22

Ruger 10/22. < best choice for adding the bells and whistles.

I'm not sure what else can be said.

10/22 for the money best .22 you can buy. reliable, accurate, so many aftermarket parts to choose from, pretty easy on the pocket to get started shooting.

Dicks has a Marlin 795 for a hundred after rebate, and a Savage 64 GXP w/a scope for 150. Any advice? Thanks!

 

[308jake]

Both the Marlin and Savage are great guns, but I prefer Marlins. I just like the way they handle and feel, but Savages accutrigger are great as well.

My advice is to hold, handle and if possible shoot both to see which one suits you best.

we picked up 795 on this deal for my wife. Bought a $40 3x9 scope for it. She loves it.

I like savage too though, friend's son has one and I shoot that too.
