Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Best looking rimfire under $600

It seems like you want another bolt action, but have you checked out a Henry pump?



I have a CZ452. It's quite accurate. When I go out for bird or squirrels though, I take the Henry (actually purchased for my grandson) or my Marlin model 60.

I like the looks of these rifles but I know some people can't stand how they look. Both are 452 FS and are amazing in accuracy. I was always afraid the full stocks would not shoot well. I was definitely wrong. This is my first time for a picture on here so maybe it will post.

My CZ 512.

I like full stocked rifles so have a 452 FS in 22rf and a 455 FS in .22 WRM. Both very accurate and nice rifles.

1955 Marlin 56 steel receiver lever action Extremely accurate with the target peep, as were all the 56/57 family-

Nice rifle Fireball

Reading some of the above posts about Kimber hunters for $600 makes me wish I live where they live or shop where they shop.

"I was leaning toward a CZ-455...thoughts?"

Mnimz,

I feel the CZ 452 has a more svelte stock, The American. If the hog back stock does not bother you... there is the full stock and the Lux, the Lux has a hogback stock but it is walnut and both the full stock and the Lux have the excellent tangent rear sight (which none of the 455's have!). CZ ran a few maple stocks if the light color works for you and you can find one.

Don't think the Ruger's are under $600 anymore and the only Kimber Hunter I've seen around HERE for that price was after a shop partially burned and had a water damage sale!

I cannot resist a good looking 22LR so I'm glad most of them, including many here that folks are so proud of, simply do not make the cut.

A while ago I came across a Ruger 22/10 in full rifle profile w/o the hideous barrel band and with a classic trim claro walnut stock for @ $450. With a Weaver rimfire 2x7 scope, it shoots as well as I can. I have seen others like it that have carved images in the wood -- Boy Scouts commemoratives etc, -- but this one is not of that batch.

Its a keeper.

Also, when it comes to looks for me, the magazine has to be absolutely flush with the stock. That being, they also carry better. Save your money for another year and maybe score a Cooper. Save it for about 5 years and do a C Sharps. One could also buy some nice wood for about $400 and dress up his Ruger. Last, if the bolt handle is the only issue, maybe slick it up with butter knife installation.

I'd have to say the Savage B-Mag........hahahaha

I have to put a vote in for my CZ 452
