Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Favorite .22 semi?

My Winnie 63 and my Remmy 241....Old but good. I haven't shot my 10/22 in 15 years.

Bought a Volquartsen Superlite last week. Only been to the range twice with it but, so far, really like it. Prior to the Volquartsen, I would have said an old Winchester 77.

I like my 10/22 even more today.
Now that I found SK match does sub half inch at 50 yards.

Yes I like my Winchester 77 tube. Walnut stock. Also have a few 190's for grandsons to shoot.

Marlin M60. Very inexpensive and shoots very well.

Another vote for the Marlin M60. Accurate, reliable, affordable and fits me well.

Have an old Sears made by High Standard that is exceptional to say the least.

Picked up 10/22 # 7 this week-a Briley team challenge conversion.With a 10x Leupold fired two 5 shot groups at fifty yards with 3 different kinds of ammo-Eley Tenex,SK Subsonic and SK Rifle match.Six groups averaged .354" center to center.

I like my 10/22. However I got to mention the Winchester 74.

That sounds like a unique rifle. Any pics?

Would be glad to email pics.My picture posting abilities suck to say the least!

10 22 mag with 50 gr hornady hp

My favorite semi has to be Weatherby MK XXII.

Anybody else shot the Anschutz MSR?

I know of a few that get a goodly amount of time on the firing line.

My 10/22 is good enough with SK match, but wonder if vert component can be shrunk by having bolt redone (or just buy a Kidd bolt).....
Five into .4 at 50yds is tolerable.
GM 19 HT bbl and Volq hammer.

I like 10/22s, I like marlin model 60s and a bunch more but I LOVE the Remington 597.

The ruger has the best magazine design. The factory rotary mags are flawless if kept clean. But the stocks suck I'm not a fan of the guide rail and I HATE the mag release. Pros, the ruger is easier to clean, the trigger group is metal. Tons of aftermarket support makes them more popular than they should be imho.

I'm gonna say this out loud with the knowledge of knowing you all are gonna want to kick me. My favorite semi auto rimfire rifle is the Remington 597. Here's why. The stock is perfect, the rifle is full sized and fits me like a glove. I can mount the Remington with my eyes closed and open them and the sights are perfectly aligned. The bolt stays open on the last shot. The receiver has bolt buffer in the rear. My 597 is more accurate than all 3 of my 10/22s. The twin guide rail system is smooth as silk. I like the location of the mag release way better than the 10/22. Its cheaper than the 10/22. Cons, the trigger sucks bad, the magazine's aren't as good as the rugers. Aftermarket support isnt as good as ruger. The trigger group is "space age polymer" plastic for normal people. The 597 would be wildly more popular if aftermarket support was as good as the ruger.

I got a good one, I have read about the people that got the early ones having lots of issues. They have been through 2 or 3 magazine upgrades and an extractor design change. Mine has been flawless. I think I got mine in about 2000 or so, so all the bugs were probably worked out. I Love that cheap little rifle.

I dislike the standard 10/22 stock.
But man the old sporters (fingergroove) feel about perfect.

There have been other factory stock offerings in various shapes/checkering/laser patterns.
Some feel better than others. Most look like crap IMHO.
Seem rather trendy.

They ought to bring back the fingergroove in synth, w checkering.
Black, w stainless/silver bbl/action.

This!!!!

The only .22 semi I have owned is a 10/22 but I like it. I pimped it out with the Volquartsen trigger guts, a Green Mountain bull barrel and a Hogue stock. I like the feel of the Hogue much better than the original wood stock. Too heavy for a walking around gun though, especially for a .22.
I've always liked the looks and feel of the T/C Classic but I've read they have their share of problems. Too bad , it's a good looking .22.
After reading all the recommendations for the Marlin 60, I'll have to give one a look sometime.

Marlin 60.....I had a trigger job done to it.....but it's a great shooter.....no jams and excellent accuracy.....what else is there?
