Favorite .22LR for Hunting

[badlybent]

I just ordered a rimfire suppressor. I am looking for the perfect grouse and small game .22. What's your favorite?
Mine must be threaded.

16" Tikka T1x for a rifle or a Ruger MKIV w/ a red dot for a pistol. A suppressed .22 pistol is about as much fun to shoot as any gun out there

My favorite 22...

A cz 452 is a solid choice. I think the current 457 or whatever is of simular quality, just no experience with them.

The ruger rimfire precision is my current 22 supressor host. I don't pack it squirrel hunting per say, I do take it to the feed lot and smack pigeons out to about 200 yds with it.

A savage 93 or I think their b series would be another solid choice.

Tikka, anshutz, volquartsen, and others make really nice 22's. I just view them as more of a target gun than a toss in the truck and run a muck for critters 22.

Hard to beat a good ol Ruger 10/22. Especially their new carbon one.
Light as a feather. Accurate too. Or get a takedown backpack model.

I am old school still use my old man's model 60. I used it growing up and acquired it when he passed. Currently doesn't have can..I debate getting it threaded, as you have to remove the can to load it, but it does hold 17 in the tube.

CZ 457 Scout. Just get the CZ and be done... Don't even look back.

I've used a CMMG 22 conversion kit before but I gotta say definitely don't use that because it's got shit accuracy out of a 223 barrel

The only threaded 22 we have is my son's rascal. That thing drives tacks. If I were to buy a dedicated 22lr for me, it'd be a tikka or a CZ.

I really like my CZ 457s and my T1X. Apart from requiring an adapter for the stupid thread pitch, the 457 Royal is a really nice hunting rifle.
