+1, +1, +1. Sorry for the stutter, I couldn't control the drool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I have been waiting for CZ to put a set trigger on their .22 just like their centerfire guns. Now that they have I will be looking for a M453 Varmint. It just has the balance and correct comb height for my style of shooting.

Seeing as I already have a Marlin 39A Golden, I guess I'd buy a bolt-action, either from T/C, Kimber or Remington. (I have a .22 Magnum bolt action by Marlin, and while it's a great rifle, I'd get something else for the variety).

I would have to vote for either the Winchester 52B or the Remington 541T. I have both and the only weak link in the groups is me. Both guns will shoot cheap ammo as well as match ammo into small holes at 50 yards.

I do a rifle program at a YMCA camp in the summer and bring along a couple of my own for variety. The choices are: Martini International; Savage 19/33; Remington 521; and the alltime favorite, a Winchester 67 that someone in the past put an old 2x scope on. Not only do they shoot, but they got class.

I would just buy another Browning .22 Auto. The one I have now is a 1964 model.....still going strong.....made in Belgium too.

I did just get a CZ-452. I could spend more but it couldn't shoot better.

Just make sure your scope doesn't hit the back site!

i'd buy a ruger 77-22 magnum.

Same one I have now - a left hand Model 82 Kimber of Oregon. I'd look high and low on the auction sites and in Shotgun News until I found one.

Barring that, I'd probably get a left hand Cooper.

Having a fine .22 has totally spoiled me. I keep looking at cool new .22's coming out - especially all the tricked out 10-22's, but then I realize I'll never top what I already have - super acuracy, super trigger, super pride of ownership.

I've bought and sold two Winchester 9422's since getting that Kimber and my 1968 vintage plain jane, much used, squirrel and rabbit slaughtering Ruger 10-22 just sits in the corner and sullenly stares at me.

Yep, I have a lefty Kimber of Oregon M82. It's my favorite .22, and I won't ever part with it.

i am looking for a good bolt action 22lr or 17mach II for blasting tree rats. i have a bolt 17hmr but it is a little loud. all of my 10/22s are heavy barreld target types. any suggestions.............blake

I may be making this choice soon,,,,

I just sent a Savage 93 back to savage because it keeps misfiring,,,,click,,,nothing,,,recock,,,spat

local gunsmith said headspace'

Shoots geat an honest .5-.75 moa gon in 22 mag.

have an old Winchester 190 my parents bought me in 2nd grade that still takes out small game with ease,,,,,If I had a $ for every round that puppy has fired,,,,,

Kimber SuperAmerica. Looks great, carries well, shoots bug holes with what it likes(Fed GMUM). Had a Ruger 77/22. Nice but too heavy for trampin thru the woods. Gettin' old I guess.

Scout the gunshops for a Remington 581 (clip) or 582 (tube feed). Great full size 22's. Mine is accurate as it needs to be with 5 shot 50 yard groups of 3/4" with bulk ammo. Not bad for a $100 rifle. Ward

If I had to pay for it it would be a CZ 452 American. I have one in .17HM2 and it is a great shooter and value. Otherwise I would get a Cooper Model 57 with all the extras.

left handed CZ 452 American .22lr.
Very accurate rifle, and it's moderately priced.

Mine would be a .17 HM2, already have the HMR. These outshoot any .22 I have ever had and are more lethal on little critters.

The CZ is a super value!!!

I'd probably get an Anschutz 1710. These use the best action in the world are built to very high standards and have excellent but not great wood. It's a good combo of the best of shootability and looks.
