My t1x will out shoot my 452 as well. The trigger is better than the 452’s, even with the yo Dave kit on it.

Huntsman,
What base are you using with that Holosun RDS?

Pretty sure a t3x stock will go on a t1x with minimal effort.
I’d get a t1x and pick up a take off walnut stock. I've been considering this route. I need to look into take off stock availabilty.

I need some help on higher quality youth .22 options. My 10 year old has been saving his money and he is ready to step up. We are looking for a bolt action and a wood stock would be a plus. I'd like to keep it under $1000. I'm going to help him with the money. Ha. What is it exactly you are wanting? And did you teach him to shoot with irons first? $1,000.00 is quite a leap into something, unless you think he's going to be shooting in the olympics..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Shouldnt be an issue, my 17 t1x rides in a t3x ctr stock The t1x completely slipped my mind, heck, I have two of them. Maybe it was the wood comment.

Yes, he learned with irons first, then a red dot then a scope. Honestly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the ruger american he has now and he is quite good with a 13.7" .223 AR and he hunts deer with a 22-250 mountain rifle with a shortened McMillan stock. He just wants a nice 22 with a wood stock and I didn't think it was a terrible way to spend the money. I just asked on here to see if I missed any good ideas. I'm not planning on any olympics.

I’m with huntsman22 on the CZ 452. I have two and they are very accurate and trouble free rifles. I had one out today and was enjoying the accuracy. As for the safety, it’s a non issue. A Yo Dave kit and the trigger is excellent. It hard to beat them.

In current production I would go tikka t1. That is what I have on order for my youngest. I have a LH tikka t1x in 17 and am nothing but impressed!
If you can find a used 541-t for a good price those are really good as well. I grew up with one and gave it to my oldest daughter when she came of age to hunt squirrels.

Forgot to mention; I installed a Leupold 4X rimfire scope on my Scout.
Great little scope for a little rifle.

Hmmm... Not so sure Jerry Kimber K22 Classic
Sako Quad
Sako Finnfire
Savage/Anscutz 54
Remington 541s
Browning Abolt
Kimber 82c classic
Ruger 77/22 - Had two of these, one was very accurate, but I could never get the second one to shoot accurately.
Winchester/Browning Reman 52 - had the Browning, it was very nice, a man sized rifle, beautifully done, but it couldn't compete with a CZ452
Probably could find any of these for 1K. All nice little rifles and known to be shooters "I've been considering this route. I need to look into take off stock availabilty." JWill, Heard of folks finding them on ebay, probably hit & miss. Jerry

Yessir the Winchester/Browning 52 rifles are definately “man sized” rifles. I have both and they just sit most of the time because of that. They do shoot pretty good after fixing up the factory triggers.

I’ve had sporter 40X, sporter 52 Win, Annie and Cooper.
The Cooper will shoot with the best of them and it’s the one still in the safe. Don’t think they make a youth model and don’t think I’d cut one down.

DF Coopers shoot no doubt. I didnt add it to the list because im not sure you could pick one up for 1k or less. Anything is possible though
