.22 LR Removeable Magazine Fed Bolt Action Rifle Rcommendations

Get yourself a YoDave trigger spring kit for your CZ and you love it, I got mine down to 1 1/2 lbs and very little creep.

MAS 45 if you want military irons, CZ if you want optics

 

[PDXSparky]

I've seen CZ .22lr rifles in stock at Keiths and on his tables at gun shows, but I have no idea what, if any, CZ he has in stock currently.

 

[lucky guy]

Sportsman's carries CZ. CZ is the best of the bunch for my money. Um, if you just want to handle one I think the Gun Room on Foster carries them too.

 

[Bon Sauvage]

Get yourself an Anschutz 1416D. You will love the accuracy.

If you ever have a chance shoot a Remington 541.
I have owned a 541 S Custom. This is the sporter version of the Remington 541 HB
On a calm day, mine shot inside of an inch at 100 Yards all day with standard over the counter ammo. Target velocity ammo was much more accuracy but came at a higher price.
I have owned a number of quality .22 cal. rifles in my life time. This was my favorite as it duplicated my most used hunting rifles, that were also mostly Remington 700 BDL series.
I believe practicing with a .22 bolt action will improve anyone's accuracy but doing so with one that matches your larger bores most closely helps even more.

Oh it was scoped - 3-9 Burris

Not everyone can afford a 1200-2000 rifle that only shoots marginally better than a $380 CZ.

I don't think the Anschutz is clip fed. It is from my memory a single shot rifle.

Mine was fed from a detachable 5 round box magazine.

I think I answered the OP's question.....

Savage mark 2 FV-SR then throw it in a Boyds Tacticool stock!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

The MAS 45 I have blows out tacks at 25 yards.. with irons

 

[orygun]

On a budget, find a used Marlin. I have a tube fed Marlin 81DL (from the late 40's) and you'll have a hard time finding a more accurate rifle.

Not as tight of a budget? Ruger 77/22.

 

[Spitpatch]

Inside (literally) info on the Ruger 7722: Mine actually is "short-throated". Chamber a CCI Mini Mag, eject without firing, and you'll see rifling marks in the leading edge of the gas ring on the bullet. I am certain this is a major contributor to its accuracy. Until this gun, I'd only seen this out of Anschutz rifles.

 

[Ed69]

My vote is Winchester 69A or 75.

For accuracy and power, I agree that a longer barrel gives an advantage and the above mentioned Winchesters deliver just that. Vintage American .22's are often overlooked because they can't easily put on optics. I've enjoyed my Higgins 101.23 (Savage 4c, Stevens 84c) five-shot magazine fed bolt action with a long 24" barrel and personally feel open sights are a fine challenge for 100 yard targets and a throwback to a bygone era (which I didn't grow up in).

Now if you are wanting to target practice at 200 yards on a regular basis and calculating bullet drop for fun, you probably need scopes.

Aside from that, or an overly heavy wallet that you just looking to lighten, I'd consider looking at the old american irons for fun. All my bolt-action .22 rifles I picked up perfectly functional for around $150~$250.

If you are looking for open sights and the option of scoping it then look at the CZ 452 ultra Lux 28inch barrel great open sights yet you can still scope it.

Indeed, yet another beautiful .22 bolt-action that will set you back $500~$700. Fine hardware with a 28" barrel, no doubt!

They are $399 just a bit more than a 10/22

MK II TR with accutrigger, CZ 453 or 452 varmint

+1. Can't go wrong either with either, other than the price.
