Bolt action .22 - Can’t make up my mind

[winsler]

I have a well built 10/22 and want to get a nice bolt action .22. Handled the 455 and the ruger American. Ruger felt better but open to the best bang for the buck. Would like to keep it at no more than $600 but cheaper is better. Appreciate anyone's input. Mainly will be for target shooting

My CZ455 is probably my favorite out of all of the rifles I own.

If only that easy. Every thing I read online points to the cz but it just didn't seem right. With the Tikka T1x was already released

If you picked up the Ruger 77-22 you would be able to use the same magazines. They're truly fine Rifles.

They look impressive on paper but haven't handled one

I own a couple and they are very fine shooters.

I very much like the Ruger American, but I would likely swap the stock. The CZ is great too, but I disliked the safety on mine.
I would love to find a Mannlicher stock for a Ruger American.

My latest 77-22 is a Magnum International with the Mannlicher Stock.

Nice thing about the 77/22 mag is you can just swap in a .17 HMR barrel.

I'll probably end up with a Tikka T1X, never met a Tikka yet that didn't shoot lights out!

Can't say I would ever want to do that. The .22 Magnum will do everything I want.

 

[winsler]

I wish they were already out. I can't seem to get a release date. I love my tikkas as well

 

[KKG]

Well, personally, I have a thing about Made in America being on a Firearm. Call me old fashioned! You'll be right!

I've got two ruger americans ,A threaded model in .22 LR and a target model in .22 Mag. this is 10 shots @ 50 yds with the .22 Mag.

Right now I'm still recovering from a Broken Right Ankle and haven't had a chance to see what my new International will do. Also, I don't post pictures - had one stolen off the Internet and almost lost a very good friend - but once I get the chance to fire her I'll sure think about reporting.

At this point all of my Ruger will shoot pretty much MOA or better with the right ammunition. .22 Rimfires are like that.

Can't say I would ever want to do that. The .22 Magnum will do everything I want.

'cept that lil mag is expensive, I've got a couple 22 mags, the least shot guns in my arsenal.

The CZ 455 is also easily converted. I bought a 22 LR/17 HMR combo.

I'm not the guy who has to have a couple dozen magazines for a Firearm loaded up before going to the Range. I'm also still into Accurate fire and not the "Spray and Pray" thing. Many moons ago Five(5) properly placed Shots got me my first Rifle. I simply enjoy Shooting and hitting the Target with the first shot, the first time and every time - if I can.

Marlin out of the question?
