22 bolt gun

[Erni]

Have a hankering for a non semi 22lr rifle. Pobanly a bolt gun, while pumps and levers are neat, I think I would like an accurate bolt rifle.
Anyone got a recent make 22 bolt gun? How do you like them?

[gnihcraes]

Bought a Ruger American 22LR and put a nice vortex on top - for my son's 18th birthday. Nice shooter. uses the 10/22 mag, so you can use a 25 rounder on it if you want.

Or a savage in 22LR.

[O2HeN2]

How about a toggle? PWS Summit. 10/22 accessory compatible. A really cool rifle, I enjoy shooting mine:

I really like my CZ 452 varmint

Savage Mark II FV-SR

With a can and CCI quiets, a dogs fart is louder

CZ. Hands down. Unless you can afford an Anshutz.

[CS1983]

CZ or Savage as suggested. Both are very accurate. I have the savage and the build quality isn't as impressive as the CZ.

[Hoser]

CZ-455.

I have a Savage, and while it shoots great, the build quality is just fair. The CZ's seem to shoot as well or better and are much better built.

Or, go all-in and join the 40X mafia.

[cstone]

Price range?

Single shot, box or tube magazine preference?

Are you going to shoot it stock or do you routinely double the price of the rifle in accessories?

Check rimfirecentral.com They have fanbois for everything and depending on who you ask you will either be dead wrong or welcomed with open arms.

I do like the CZ 455 and having the option to easily swap out a match grade target barrel for the original barrel. If you already have a 10/22, the RAR lets you use the mags you already have. Savage and Marlin options are plentiful and you could get two for the price of on 455 or five or six for the price of a 40X or Annie.

If this is your first, get a Marlin 981 and shoot a lot.

I've got 2 Ruger American predators, one in .22lr and one in .17 HMR. I will probably add one in .22 mag as well. On an indoor range I've shot sub MOA 5 shot groups at 100 yards with the .22lr, very accurate and barrel is already threaded for a can.

[Erni]

Thanks for all the feedback. I see that the cz is well regarded, and the ruger has the benefit of reusing mags. I"ll take a look at some of these. Thank you.

CZ-455.What this guy said.
Unless you want something better then I would get an Anschutz.

[Hoser]

When I send out the results from our precision rimfire match I try to always include what rifle people were using and what ammo.

CZ, Remington and Anschutz are consistently at the top of the heap for bolt guns. A lot has to do with the trigger puller, but it lets people get an idea of what works.

[laportecharlie]

CZ452 if you can find one, if not, CZ455.

[Griff79]

CZ452 if you can find one, if not, CZ455.

+1 my CZ is awesome

[Chaffee2]

CZ 455 is a good choice, many different variations. The last CZ I bought has the synthetic stock, matt finish, 16 inch barrel and is threaded. Dang thing out shoots all my other 22 rifles except for the pre-war Mauser.

We've had a great experience with our Ruger American Rimfire. We've been shooting tight groups at 100 yards with $27 Walmart Bushnell 4x scope. It utilizes Ruger 10/22 magazines which work great if you avoid certain problematic hollow points.

[TheNewKC]

Savage MKII here. Have three of them shoot great.

[vossman]

Just got one of these too. Shoots very well with all ammo I tried but really likes the Wolf 22 ammo. Come with a rail, threaded barrel and the 10/22 mags are great.

I can't beat my CZ 452 trainer

Pinkerton OUT!

[blacklabel]

I was wanting a Savage FVSR but with their new B series bolt action rifles, I'd probably pick up a B22 FVSR. The stock looks far better than what Savage puts on the 93 series and MKII series rifles.

[bczandm]

I've asked the same question and as you see here the CZ comes more than everything else combined. Depending on model expect to pay $400-$500.

MkII stock sucks. Had to install a Karsten's to make it usable. Unsure why scope-only rifles come with a drop comb stock. Manufacturers need to get their heads out of the "pappy's old hunting rifle" mentality.

[COeskimo]

I've owned a savage mkii fv that I had recrowned that shot very well. I also just bought a Anchuntz 1416hb a while back and from shooting them both with the same optic and same ammo the Anchuntz shoots a little better but both on a calm day shot very well. One of the nicest grouping guns I've gotten to shoot is a sako quad topped with a nice optic. He also owned and sold a cz 452hb which shot very well so pick your poison and go shoot:) they are all very fun trainers and plinkiers.

[rondog]

Don't disregard old .22 bolt rifles, most of those are tack drivers and can usually be found pretty cheap. I have a 1952 Remington 514 single shot that my oldest brother handed down to me for Xmas when I was 10. My first real gun. It's STILL deadly accurate, and God only knows how many thousands of rounds it's fired. If I'm ever able to buy a .223 rated suppressor, it's going to be the first gun adapted for it.

[bchase75]

Savage MKII FV-SR in a Boyds stock. Shoots one hole groups at 50 yards with CCI Mini-Mags.

[Musashi]

I will second the CZ 455. I just got mine setup and it shoots very small groups with CCI ammo and their sub-sonics. I will try to put some targets up, shot at 50 and 100 yards. The rifle is so easy to shoot well it is crazy.

[porfiriozg]

Marlin xt-22 tube feed hold and cycles 24 22. shorts

[SAR_89]

I also have the Savage MKII FV-SR and it's fantastic. Love how compact and accurate it is.

[muddywings]

BTT

what scope are people putting on these plinkers?
This thread interests me and will probably be getting a ruger just cause I have the mags for them.

ETA:
and....just found this one:

Here's my new 22. Finally got off the pot. I might be a little over-glassed but, whatever. At least I will clearly see my misses.
