Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Must have 22?

I would like to have one in WMR to accompany my LR.

Great Little Guns.

I had to look that up. Wow!

My forum name should give you a clue. Mine is a first year production 2 digit SN. When I got my first look of this $1K .22 my first thought was "How can they make this so inexpensively?" It is first class quality throughout and shoots almost as well as my competition rimfire benchrest rifles.

Haven't had the chance to shoot it yet but mine arrived and I have high hopes.

I look forward to your thoughts on your new toy, that controlled round feeding looks flawless, I have a cooper so not sure I need another 22 lr but I could be persuaded!

Do keep us posted.

Will do gents. There's a couple here and I'll try to get the less computer challenged to post some pics

Less computer challenged here.....

Two vudoos, same specs.

Vudoo Ravage
18” ACE barrel with target crown
30moa rail
Larger bolt knob

I shot mine and while it showed promise with one lot of federal ultramatch, it defintally did not like another. I still need to try out some other ammo.
10 shots @ 50yds

Those are super nice........

If I ever got down to one rimfire (or one rifle of any sort) it would be my remington 581. I have a few rimfires around and love them all. If I didn't have the 581 I'd look to a 9422 or a M39. Next in order of preference might be the browning auto.

But regardless of which rifle I chose for my first .22, my second would be the 10-22.
And if a 10-22 was my only rimfire I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

I think a 10/22 of some kind, the customer the better, is mandatory. There are so many, in so many different models, and they can really shoot if breathed on, anyone with any rimfire should have one.

Then, there's a need for a nice bolt action, a "grown up" sporter. Anschutz 54, Kimber 82, Browning 52 (or clone), and the CZ 452. Those are all nice. I have a sorta nice Marlin 880 that my dad gave me when I was 14 or so. It's been worked on and used hard, but I'll never let it go.

Levers? The Marlin 39. Hands down.

And of course, if there are kids in the pipeline, another bolt action that a kid can handle, yet still shoots well, with GOOD iron sights, a decent trigger and maybe a good six power on tip-offs.

And have we started on pistols yet? Ruger Marks One through Four? Colt Ace clones, depending on your centerfires? S and W K 22?

Love the 54s and the 52s....even enjoyed giving a couple Vudoos a run today.
But it seems my favorite right now is an Oregon Kimber 82 classic with a fixed 4 on top.

Its scary accurate with UM22 at 50...

robertham1, those are some nice rifles!

I just picked up a Ruger Mark IV Heavy Barrel Target pistol from Whittakers for $372. Pretty good deal.

Well the sickness got me. After selling a few big rifles that just hid in safe I ordered a CDNN special Browning 22 auto. Then picked up a 582 from a member here. I have 4 little ones and the oldest claimed the 10/22 as hers so I guess the others get to find something now.

Dave,

To Me You are describing the perfect minimum rimfire battery.

Plus something rooted in rimfire history such as Your Marlin lever, a pump (Rem. 121 or Win. 1890), semi-auto (Rem. 241 or Win.63), any of the Remingtons with the integral Peep sight, etc.

Well played...

I have several 22 rifles. A CZ 452 American is the first one that ever satisfied me. It looks and carries good. Quality build and suits my accuracy needs.

Looking for a .22 magnum myself, trying to decide between a Henry or Savage 93 (I am left handed).

a Henry or a Savage ain't a 'must have'......

You buy what you like. I’ll buy what I like.
