My T1 is the best I've ever shot. It beats my CZ 452 American, which is the 2nd most accurate 22 I've shot.
For ammo Federal Match is more accurate in my rifles, but CCI 40 gr MiniMags at $8/100 rounds is a very close contender and what I shoot the most. For the money it is more accurate than I need. Like to hear how the MM's group in those rifles, good hunting ammo, also have you tried std. velocity CCI and Blazer by chance? Re: the Marlins - I had a couple of semi's - a 795 that had a clip and heavy barrel, shot VERY well. Other was a cheap 75C, tube fed carbine styled after the model 60. Both shot very well. Dropped a blackbird on the wing with the 75C, witnesses. Told my son to remember that, he will probably never see that again!

On the ammo side, when was the last time one saw Win Power Points in a store? Have about 8 bricks but not seen any on the shelf for about 6 years. My local gun guy has several boxes on the shelf. But, they have been there for a while. A long while. kwg

For just an all purpose squirrel wacker, it's a 10/22 world. I've had more accurate 22's but my little 10/22 carbine has been my go to squirrel rifle since 1987, when it was new and I was 12.
I've tried "upgrading" but it just doesn't "feel" right to be carrying something else. I'll keep using it until they bury me with it or I pass it down to a grandkid somewhere down the line(and that better be a WAYS down the line, my kids are all pretty young AFAIK). Atta boy.......Shoot what you like.

I think a Ruger 77/22 is damn good all ‘round 22 rifle

The Winchester Power Points were made in Australia, best 22 ammo you could get for hunting due to it’s greater expansion It is no longer being made

For a factory rifle the Ruger 77/22 is , in my opinion, is at or near the top.

$150 Marlin is the "best" .22lr? Grandad used to say "a fool ain't a fool til he opens his mouth and proves it". Also used to say " God gave you two ears, two eyes and one mouth for a reason"
Then why do we have one shaft and two balls?

A Brno Model 1 is a thing of beauty and probably the nicest pointing 22 I have ever used

I'm going to buy me an affordable take down - probably an AR-7 , maybe a 64F.
not interested in bench shooting groups with it. Its a backpack gun.
I've read about the Marlin Papoose? but I can't find any, AR-7's are everywhere for $230 - whatever I end up getting, I'm sure it will meet my needs for a 22 I'd rethink that.

I read it on here in the past few days. I've got a Ruger 10-22 Takedown that came with a padded case that holds the gun and several mags. It has backpack straps and is pretty neat. In fact, I had two of them until I gave my son one for his birthday. IIRC they come with two Ruger twenty-five round mags.

I'm not sure where the OP was going exactly, and I am not a group shooter. But IME a CZ 455 or Ruger 77/22 is going to get a whole lot of mileage and will be more accurate than most can hold in day-to-day shooting schit. Both of these rifles have seen thousands upon thousands of rounds in the field on live targets. If they are aimed at something there is a good chance it is gonna die. CZ 455 American Suppressor Ready is a killing machine. Minor trigger work and nothing else. Ruger 77/22 with bedding and some minor trigger work is flat out deadly.

I see no one mentioned the TCR 22. I picked up one at Sportsman’s for $269 a while back and I really like it. The Magpul stock feels good, the trigger is decent, I mounted a Leupold Freedom rimfire 2-7 on it and it’s quite accurate. I’m also fond of my “customized” 10/22 takedown.
I've only been around and used one of those TCR's but I was impressed. Ruger is gonna have to stay ahead of that. Smart move on S&W's part.
