The New York Kimbers are great handling guns too. If you are talking silhouette rifles, send the best action you can find to Pharr or McDonald. I think the Stiller action has overtaken the Anschutz and 40x here. https://www.killoughshootingsports....n.html#/728-actions-right_bolt_left_port Last edited by BlackBranchFarm; 04/12/20.

Hope this helps some people save some money. https://www.impactguns.com/bolt-act...stock-10-round-736676083015-8301/#apps47 Wow Lester, that's a great price. My local guy is almost $100 more for that one. Wag more, bark less. The freedoms we surrender today will be the freedoms our grandchildren will never know existed.

Whether it be a Marlin, Winchester, Browning, Henry or whatever I just can’t see anything being better for plinking and just plain having some fun! 22s are made to get beat around and used so don’t spend a ton of $$$ on something you wouldn’t want to do that with. Lever action all the way for an all around 22 rifle! ================================================== I'm a proud member of the BGE cult ... yes, I consider myself an EGGHEAD

Currently selling on GB for anywhere from $160 to $350 depending on condition. Available in Right Hand and Left Hand, if that matters. I have sold or traded through a number of rimfire rifles over the years, including a couple Anschutz. My only rimfire rifle at the moment is a Left Hand Rem 581...

Older Kimber model 82's made in Oregon. PS: Edited to add Winchester and Browning reproductions of the model 52 sporter +1 OP said “best”, no mention of price range or intended use. I’ve had a Rem 40X Sporter with clip, Kimber of Oregon, Win 52 custom and a Cooper. The Cooper stayed, others went down the road. Cooper is the finest all around .22 LR I’ve ever handled and for a number of reasons. Mine wears a Kahles 2-7 rimfire scope, a perfect match for the rifle. DF

Original post: I am out of touch with that segment these days. Followup post: I can go lever or semi auto or bolt. Just want something fairly accurate. Sounds like jmp300wsm just wants to get up to speed on what's available in 22LR rifles and not end up with a dog. Not uncommon for someone to start a thread then dial it in from the original post with some followup posts.

JCMCUBIC Campfire Outfitter J Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 13,759	I shoot a NULA .22 that's incredibly accurate....but that's not factory. No argument that this is "best"d but.....About a month ago I KNEW it was about to hit and decided I better get my Zombie rifle ready. I purchased a laminate/stainless 10/22 carbine...$366 shipped. I picked up a Raven Eye Custom pillar and Marine Tex'd it in (~$12). I trashed the barrel band, dremeled out the barrel channel to free float it, and full length neutral bedded it with Marine Tex....some of the barrel channel is spotty but I'm not to worried about it right now. Put a pic rail on it (got the hollow center but still can't see sights with scope removed) and a 4x Prostaff and started shooting steel with a 1" dot. At 50 yards everything's in the dot for 3 mags (old Tac-22 ammo)....I wasn't expecting that. It could certainly use a new trigger group but for less than $400 (and a little hands-on) and a little time it's tough to beat. I need to put the 10x SWFA on it and see what it will do at 100. Still need to add a front sling swivel and may hollow the stock a little. ...maybe need to add something for a single point sling for ease of carry when the brain eaters show up....
