The title nearly says it all.
10/22 and Savage .17 HMR - Bi-Mart - $169
I have both. I love both.
I modded my 10/22 carbine, but it still looks stock: bedded action and barrel; free-floated the barrel; expanded the internal diameter of the barrel band so it doesn't touch the barrel; fabricated a brass pillar for the escutcheon (from the factory the barrel block tightens against wood). All mods took about a weekend of elbow grease and cost less than $30 for a gun that can shoot a ragged hole @ 25 yds with CCI Mini-Mags off of bags.
I know the new 10/22 have a composite trigger housing, but what do you want from a $169 rifle?
The Savage .17 shoots little tiny groups stock. Well, I polished the bolt and sanded the stock for a smoother feel.
So, if you are looking for inexpensive, accurate plinkers, or just want to have fun playing amateur gunsmith, get ye to a Bi-Mart. And, if you don't own a 10/22, get one today.
