Thread: Which .22LR rifle

Might look also to the "old"(back to the 1930's) tube fed bolt action Remingtons.Back when Remington made a high quality firearm. Excellent ones for $140;;; great shooters for something over $50. Iron sights/accurate. .02$
Edit; Model 341 SportsMaster

What is wrong with the Centerpoint? On a 10/22 you really don't need all the "bells and whistles" when it comes to optics. The Centerpoints SEEM to pack all the "bells and whistles" for 1/10 the price. Too good to be true?

I agree with Phillyfan, I just picked up a new Sweet 22 from SWFA for $39 (half priced clearance sale), hard to beat a value like that. And you really don't need a .243 scope on a .22lr.

Centerpoint scope was shooting way above and every attempt from us to get the elevation adjusted didn't work.

Can you post a link to Sweet 22 scope you just got for yourself. I checked on SWFA and not able to find anything for $39.

Marlin mdl 60 rocks around $100+- used and did some 1 hole shooting today.
It had a nice little Bushnel 3-9X,which is nice to see those little 22 holes at a distance.

10/22 are great,no doubt.But they are expensive.Mostly after you start buying all the goodies.

I have a MARK II BTVSS and I can do 1" to 3/4" groups at 100 yards with the right ammo.

The thing is a shooting machine. I have done -nothing- to it other than adjust the accu-trigger and mount a scope.

I got at Big-R in Redmond, long story. best 360.00 I have spent.

I like everything about that gun 'except' the thumb-hole rear stock.
The fore guard looks awsome. S.S. Barrel, great!
I wish they made that combo in a 'traditional style' stock 22LR rifle.

thumb-hole took a bit to get used to .. but no matter how u slice it, the thing shoots amazing.

I have no doubt its a great rifle.
I just gotta wrap my head around the thumb hole, is all!
What kind of optics are you using?
Thanks!

not flashy, but sharp and works well for tack driving, can't range with it. I've spent 10x as much, and if I wasn't shooting at varying distances with that gun I would buy another simmons. And with 20x magnification, even my pops with failing eyesight can see with it.

Have you ever shot an 1911, or a Browning Hi Power 9mm? If you have you experienced the genius of John Brownings design. Browning also designed a SA .22lr
Its a stock fed, bottom action take down... and few .22lrs. ever come close. See if you can rent one at a range. If you want a detachable magazine Look at a CZ 511, or a Thomson Center semi auto... these are all top shelf... You'll find one that just has to go home with you.

Is there such a thing as too much scope for a 22LR?

My Marlin came with a scope and my Henry lever 22mag I put a Simmons 22MAG 3-9X on it. (I just can't see the 22 holes at much distance)
It was only $40 so it ain't caliber specific,just made for 22s in general.It was $40 at Wholesale sports

Unless you are competitive shooting,the 22s aren't going to take the abuse of hunting and the weather,so a high dollar waterproof scope isn't always necessary.
I know if it's raining and windy,the 22s don't get a good day shooting.But it is kinda nice if the turrets work properly huh?
