Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires The Best semi_ auto then the ruger?

See if you can find an old Italian Weatherby MK XXII
I have owned a bunch of semi-auto .22lr rifles and the MK XXII is by far my favorite.
in it's stock form it comes with good irons, and if you can find one the pricing is generally reasonable..

Seriously? You or your friend do not have the ability to google and visit the firearm sights or do a search?

At least try to find something that looks good to him and then ask questions.

He is too stupid tonrealize people are pointing out other Semi Autos to him. But. I dont expect more from someone who's main hobby is huffing paint

Have to agree with the browning. Finally found an older one (1965) and it shoots lights out.

T/C Classic. Very accurate and nice trigger for a semi-auto.

Have a Browning too, but I'll take a Marlin Model 60 after you fix the trigger anyday over a 10/22, even though I own a truck load of Rugers.

Take a lOok at the Henry lever actions. That said I gifted my Ithica lever action (pre Henry), traded my nylon 66, and now have a 1022 with laser. It is a joy for old eyes.

Did someone say ... Volquartsen?

Serious money, that's true.

And 5 shots of ammunition it likes in a dime at 50 yards.

Less $ than that - find a Browning Auto-22, as mentioned. Mine will put 5 in a nickle at 50 yards. Sometimes.

For a factory specs rifle, the Marlin 60 is hard to beat.

I have a stainless Marlin 60 installed in a Boyds Rimfire Hunter laminated stock that is good shooting, easy carrying, 22 LR semi-auto. The Boyds Rimfire Hunter isn't a light stock, but it fits me really well and I think that proper stock fit is a major contributing factor to successful off-hand shooting.

Semi-Auto: Marlin Model 60c. Have one for my boy. I like them better appearance-wise than the 10/22's, even though I own one of those too. The Marlin is a great rifle with a long history, takes a scope well, is as accurate as he is, and plain fun. The tube magazine is better than the clip-fed magazine.

The SA22 gets my vote --- and I own a 10-22 that I like a lot. The Browning is just so much more. A "real step" up IMO.

I have hated the Browning SAs since the first hot case ejected down my shirt sleeve.

That's my thoughts also.

My first recommendation would be a 10/22 due to all the aftermarket components that are available, particularly the bull barrels and aftermarket stocks.

Following that would be the Rem/Marlin Model 60 with the laminated stock. As mentioned, it is the bargain basement approach to the challenge but not one that would be later felt like a bad decision. If the Model 60 works out for his interest and available time it would just lead to more firearm purchases to fill in his needs later. Not a bad thing to have happen.

If he has enough jingle in his pockets.

Volquartsen rifles in Carrol IA are darn hard to beat.

Great triggers, very accurate.

Look like 10/22's.

Volquartsen Custom

A few I have or have had.

A bolt action Anschutz with about a 1 ounce trigger. Does Cooper still put out a 22LR?

The shift to a semi auto here sounds like a bait and switch deal.

Personally, I don't do well with folks telling me what I want. Clerks often miss out on what was going to be a for sure sale by taking that tangent.
