What is the most accurate, best functioning 22 LR bolt rifle currently made that can be had for $1200 or less. What about on the used market? What kind of accuracy is expected in a SPORTER- not a BR50 rifle.
I won't claim a Cooper 57M is the most accurate but mine is very accurate and I have no complaints. The Cooper replaced a Winchester reproduction 52B that was also very accurate with the old, maybe original Gold Medal Match ammo. A buddy bought it and I think he preferred shooting some flavor of Eley.
I have random 22LR's and many have not really been tested. The surprise is my Remington 580 single shot that has shot 1/2" five shot groups at 50 with the preferred ammo, SK Standard+.
The rifle was a gift from my Dad when I was 6, about 47 years ago and he probably paid 35.00 for it new.
Certifiable has a nice spread of rifles, looks like fun!
