More than happy with a recent CZ 457 acquisition. Ammo does make a difference.

I like my model 63 Winchester for roaming. If you look long enough you can find one in the $600 range or you could look for one of the Taurus copies . Any of the Remington pump rifles would be nice also , or a Winchester or Taurus clone . Martini's are neat too . I have one made by Piper in Belgium that weighs next to nothing that I'm thinking about having converted to .32 S&W L .
Grumpy old man with a gun.....Do not touch .
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Don't bother my monument and I'll leave yours alone.

I shoot lotta snowshoe hare in the cold with hand gun and rimfire.
22 lr is finnicky in below zero weather from semi autos, they jam.
The velocity loss is significant when you combine the cold and further velocity loss of a semi auto. I will usually only use stinger ammo in semi autos in the cold.
During target sessions, working a bolt action for 300-500 round sessions gets obnoxious.
This leaves the pump and the lever. I dont care what model, I'd take any of them, over a bolt action or semi auto 22lr.
About 5 years back, I held Annie Oakley's 22 pump action. She used the thinniest front partidge blade sight ive ever seen. Thin as utility knife blade.
She new what the fk a 22lr should be.......
Ive wanted a 22 pump ever since
Where was Annie's rifle at when you saw it? I got to see it the other day myself!

I like older guns.I have a 1975 Marlin 39 that I've been trying not to shoot too much,so I was in the market for another 22.A few weeks ago I picked up a very lightly used 1980 model Remington 552 auto for $450.Great trigger,tube feed,shoots everything,short,long and long rifle{like I've seen short or longs for years).Ran a box of the cheap Blazer and Remington Yellow Jackets through it without one issue.Figured if it would shoot these OK,it would shoot anything.Remington model 572 pump is another good choice.These older guns hold their value and were well made.

You already bought a CZ, so I guess you don't care that a LGS has a CZ 457 Jaguar. Looks like an old time safari rifle, with hogback stock, 28" barrel, and tangent sights. $609
beechwood stock bothers me, should have been walnut. I hate they are doing the ugly stamps on the side of the stocks also. Handled a Royal, Royal stamped in big letters on a nice stock. Crazy....

My old marlin mdl 60 is by far my most accurate 22 of them all. It has the micro groove(whatever that means). Anything I run through her is way more accurate than my other 22s. It aint the prom queen but she is a keeper for sure.

Yeah, the one I looked at the other day was kinda oogly. Not a fan of the stamps either, though I think my MTR might have one someplace.
I put a walnut stock on my 455 SS and it turned out pretty nice. That’s the one I’ll probably tote around the woods.
Bought a 39A last year, but the trigger sucked and accuracy was iffy. At least I got it out of my system.
What fresh Hell is this?

Savage makes dozens of 22lr.
Savage rimfires tend to be accurate.
Savage rimfires tend to be economical.
IMO
Good luck

CZ 452/455 is awful hard to beat for the money.If you get lucky a Anschutz 64 action could pop up. Yes.

I don't think $600 will do it but I've had the hot's for a 541S Remington since I saw my first one. What I never had was the money to buy one! Geeze it's a beautiful rifle!

It aint the prom queen but she is a keeper for sure. I was waiting on this one to come up. It was my first .22 The guy wanted something to shoot game with, and walk around. The lighter the better. A Marlin Model 60 with irons sounds great to me. I wish Marlin made one shorter, with a half magazine. I do think they made one non-tube bottom feeder. I need to do some research.

Actually a good Remington 581/582 are usually VERY VERY accurate and won't break the bank. What I've found anyway.

Q: What is the gun used by the US Olympic shooters in small bore running boar competition?
A: Custom 10/22s with Leupold double reticle, double target knobs scopes.
Really interesting little rifles. The rifle itself could be duplicated, pretty easily x scope, using pieces and parts available.
The custom built scopes cost more than your total budget by multiples.
A used 10/22 can be tricked out by near anyone with minimal mechanical ability. There is 1001 mods for them, including match barrels, triggers, steel screw in barrel actions, walnut stocks, mags, etc. A 16" 22 barrel is your friend for hunting.
They do shoot regular high velocity ammo, like CCI Mini Mags well.
Never stop, never quit.

Never heard of 10/22’s in any Olympic shooting. The only running boar rifles I’ve seen and shot were bolt action Anschutz or Walthers. You only shoot once per 10 meter pass. The last 50 meter running boar event was in 1988 in Seoul.

There was a Remington 12c at the Charlotte NC Cabelas a few weeks back under $600. Maybe $400ish IIR?
Not much finish on it, but seemed mechanically sound and had a sweet octagon barrel.
Maybe find an older T Bolt around there.

It has probably been said but those tikka rimfires are worth considering.

They made the model 25, along with the papoose. I actually ran across a 25M about two weeks ago for 325, but it was gone before I got to the store. It would have came home.
