Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Need a new threaded 22LR walkabout bolt Gun....

Tikka, CZ, Howa, ?????Which what for accuracy, weight, bolt throw, all around haven’t kept up with later 22lr bolt guns, just run semis mostly. Suppressed daytime squirrels and nighttime armadillos, possums, etc. leaning Tikka, but not sure.

I own lots of 22s. This is a great choice

The Volquartsen Summit gets my vote......Volquartsen Summit

I like these. I found one of these last month, a 455 American Synthetic Suppressor Ready.

They are also doing these in 457s, if you can't find a 455.

Having both a CZ 457 varmint and a Tikka t1x, They are a wash as far as accuracy once you find what they like to shoot and bolt throw was better out of the box in the tikka, but after about 200 rounds the CZ is really feeling great now, th trigger on the CZ is amazing out of the box, the Tikka is good also, just not the same from the get go. If I had to suppress and walk about it would be the TIkka because of the lighter barrel weight and 10 rd mag, but with that said, the CZ is an easy barrel swap and I'll be getting a threaded 16 1/2 Llija in a few days and may change my mind. Both are great choices.

I went with a Tikka T1X for that role. Below are two 10rnd groups from 25yds the first day I had it out, with some random shells I had rolling round in the bottom of my range bag. I'm pleased.

Ruger 1022 is pretty good all around rifle -- price is low, function is very reliable, accuracy is great. Very good for small game and plinking.

My CZ 453 American is also VERY accurate and reliable, a little heavier than the 1022, but still very handy in the field and at the range.

I have two 10/22s. This one is for ear-holing stuff to 50 or more, as quietly as possible. I’d prefer to stay under $500-ish for the rifle, and buy as much accuracy and portability as can be had in that realm. I wish volquartzen hadn’t made the summit action so doggone pricey, or that that steyr ishmaz ? toggle bolt wasn’t so unpredictable (from what I hear). I should have picked up a T-bolt threaded when they were out, I guess. Tikka looks attractive for the $, and CZ 455/457 looks nice for the barrel and caliber swaps....if needed.

Consider the Browning T-Bolt, too. Good magazine design with solid capacity. I'm not sure about their threaded barrel options, though.

The Tikkas under Beretta guise have been popping up < 500 lately.

See search gun.deals

Lithgow LA101 if you can find one around. I think the importer closed their doors and a new importer is involved, but it may take a bit to find one. Worth every penny if you're into accuracy....

can't vouch for the vender but they say they got'em-
