Best value .22?

[ruger7722]

10-22 would be my last choice ,but i have some i bought cheap.you cant go wrong w/ most any you like the look and feel of.i like older guns myself.i would never buy retail anything,i mean anything

i just picked up a savage bolt action with a cheap bushnell scope at dicks for $159 not the best rifle by any means but will do the job

Savage Mark II, .22LR

It would be hard to beat a Savage with an Accu-Trigger for out of the box accuracy and value.

model 60

It would be hard to beat a Savage with an Accu-Trigger for out of the box accuracy and value.

for the $ it's hard to beat the model 60. There are some aftermarket parts coming available to improve it if you so desire in the future. Although if you can find a pawnshop 10/22 with a metal trigger group and w/o the crinkle finish you're probably gonna be better off in the long run.
Good advice I received once. Buy the best you can afford and stretch yourself a little. You won't regret it. A used CZ trainer would be the best starter rifle for quality per $

indy gunsaftey is right about the 10/22 but Istill like a remmington 597 22lr or 22mag unless you find one in 17 ,than call me

The 10/22 is a great choice! There is no other firearm with more aftermarket parts available. You can do so much with it! Good luck!

An older Remington (Model 510 or 511) would be good. Everyone should own at least one 10/22 (echo, echo, echo). CZ makes a nice one, Model 452 American or varmint.

I see the OP got a Marlin 795. I did the same. Between sale and Marlin's rebate - total cost was around $100. I'm pleased with mine - especially considering the limited outlay. Hope to take mine to an appleseed sometime.

I've got access to a 10/22 and I have a Remington 582. One of the sales at Dunham's almost had me biting on the 795 and I saw a Marlin 60 today at Dunham's. Not really sure I need another .22lr though.

Dick's Sporting Goods in Avon has Ruger 10/22 wood stock for $209 right now!

I know my 10/22 shot just fine right out of the box. At $180 for the sport carbine, you can't go wrong and TONS of options/accessories.

ECHO....echo....echo

10/22. I've had mine since I was 8yo (over 20 years). Love it.

I'm considering adding a CZ bolt action .22 to the stable. They are the most accurate "affordable" .22 rifle I've shot.
