.22 LR Opinions

[TinyTucky]

Looking for opinions. I’d like to add another .22 rifle to my collection for no real reason other than I can. Not sure how much I’d like to spend yet, but I’m looking for something that’s bolt action and has a threaded barrel. I don’t care if it’s wood or synthetic, just something to shoot squirrels and plink with. I’ve looked at a few different options, but hoping someone has some real world experience that can lead me in one direction or another.

What’s your price range w/scope and can added to the picture? That’ll narrow things down some.

I would have to look and see what model my savage in 400 legend is. Has the acutrigger and threaded. Real smooth gun. Im sure they offer the same in 22. I can throw it in the truck if you want to fondle it.

Already have the can, scope will likely be $200 or less since this will be 75yds or less if I had to imagine. I’m thinking top dollar for the gun would be $600?

Adjustable trigger threaded and in your price range ($650) at Fin Feather and Fur. Had it for a couple years now and like it a lot. Bergara. Has the carbon fiber barrel.

That exact gun is one that I’ve been considering. How does it group for you?

 

[GoetzTalon]

It groups really well. Thirty yards it’s tight. I’m shooting match ammo out of it though. Paid like $100 bucks for a brick but I’m like I don’t think I’ll live long enough to shoot 500 squirrels lol.

18 inch barrel really light. Carried it all over Lasuann no problems.

I've not seen one with a threaded barrel but If I were after a .22 bolt gun, I'd have a CZ 452 American. I know a guy that has a very nice semi-auto with a threaded carbon fiber barrel that may be looking to sell...

Hunter has the savage 22 w threaded barrel. Has a thermal on it and a can.

Looks a bit over your price point and it isnt offered in 22LR, just 22 creedmoor.

Hold on now, I just said it no longer gets to go squirrel hunting again until further notice.

Tikka makes great shooting rifles.

Heavily considering the 452 as well. How do you think semi auto vs bolt compares accuracy wise?
