.22/.22 Mag Rifles

[OverInfinite]

I went the ruger precision 22lr route. Comes in at 9lbs with a 4-12x40 on it. It's a blast for target and has been hammering the ground squirrels in the orchard for the past year. Farthest poke on a squirrel was 175 yards.

Apparently I’m the only person left alive shooting an el cheapo Savage 92 with a fixed 4x

I have a pair of RimX's One in 22LR and one in 17WSM....

Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't made any decisions yet. Just saw the new Grande thumb video with a 22 air rifle. Seems like another way to go possibly.

94/22 and a CZ 455 in17hmr. Have a ruger precision thing, doubt I would buy it again though

I have an old Marlin 25MN (22mag) I've had for prolly 35 years.
3x9 Leupold and more accurate than I am.

CZ 457 Varmint. I like the heavy barrel for more stable off-hand shots.

Ruger All Weather varmint/target .22 magnum with a Leupy 4.5 -14 scope . Winchester 45 gr. Subsonic hollow points for squirrels. It's awesome !

I have two old Marlin's bolt-action .22 mag,. 8 shot Magazines. Same hole! Did my own trigger jobs.
They have placed many a meal on the table over the years.

Glad to see some love for the Marlins, 882SS 22mag with fire sights. Had 3 different scopes on it and broke every single one going through the woods or while slung on my shoulder riding snowmobile so just gave up & use open sights. 99% of what it shoots has been up a tree.

I had one of those for a long time. I used it to kill a large number of muskrats out of the lake behind my house. Used an old Simmons 3X9 Rimfire scope on it that had the worst flare in the afternoons. It really liked CCI 40gr HP that I would get at Wal-mart.

Made my proudest shot on a swimming muskrat head at 120'ish yards downhill while my wife was watching. I don't know why but that "Wow, great shot!" from her really made me proud.

Decided to "upgrade" and sold it. Wish I had kept it.

I don't have the "upgrade" gun anymore. I got a pair of Browning T-Bolt sporters in .22 Mag and .22LR and put a Leupold Freedom 3-9 AO on them. They were just too "small" and light. Harder to hold steady. I did kill a couple of muskrats and a groundhog trying to break into my dog kennel before I traded them off.

I run my 10/22 for dedicated squirrel rifle.


I got a Ruger Precision. 22lr for NRL/PRS22 and occasional varmints. It does OK but I honestly don't love it's accuracy. If I were to do it again I'd get a Tikka or CZ. Or splurge for the Bergara B14.

Cz 457 is my favorite bolt. (Though technically I have it in 17 HMR.

Ruger 10/22 for semi auto is still and will always be my favorite .22

 

[eaglemountainman]

I have a pair of CZ 452 Americans that are two of the most accurate rifles out of 3 safes full of firearms.

 

[Misguided]

Magnum research 22 wmr. Ruger 10/22 action with carbon fiber barrel, hogue overmoulded stock. Light, accurate and fun.

 

[Dust Rider]

CZ American 452 suppressed for ground squirrels and pigeon/ Eurasia collared doves
Ruger 10/22’s. Kids claimed them.
Savage 24 C. The 24C is so fun for birds, rabbits and other small game while camping and a great all around hiking gun.
Savage 93R17. One of the most accurate cheap rimfires we have. At the time it was $250 range and it’s a tack driver.

 

[sportsmans challenge]

Cz 457 mtr, have shot some ground squirrels out 170+ yards so far, steel to 330 and in. Been a fun shooter, daughter has shot it on squirrels as well.

I've had several nicer 22 or 22 magnum rifles. The ones I use now are a Ruger 10/22 with a Timney trigger, and a Ruger American compact in 22 magnum. The 10/22 is the most accurate of the 4 I've owned, and therefore the only one I kept. It's no target rifle, but it's great for small game.

I sighted in a American compact 22 magnum for a friend, and it shot so well I ended up buying one. It shot considerably better than my Magnum Research 22 mag semi-auto so I sold that one and kept the American. It's not fancy but it does everything I need. Both have 2-7x scopes that I got on sale, a Nikon and a Vortex Diamondback.

Tikka T1 w a SWFA 6x, trigger spring if you want to get fancy. My CZ 452 doesn’t leave the safe anymore.
