I've gotten involved with a group that shoots bowling pins one night a week, rotating through various types of firearms. In a few weeks, it will be 22 rimfire night. My wife is perfectly happy to loan me her stock 10/22, but I wonder: Does anyone make an accurate 22 semi-auto that is reasonably budget friendly?
What is your budget exactly? I've been seeing a lot of good 10-22's from $250-$350 used. For a really inexpensive, yet accurate semi auto 22lr, I'd look at a Savage model 64. They always shoot well. Used Remington 597's shoot great and are fairly inexpensive. Savage A22's shoot very well too. Some guys are suggesting the Marlin 60, but that is tube fed. Not your best option in competition oriented shooting. Those guys may not know that? A magazine fed rifle is always the best way to go in this type of shoot.
