Bolt Action 22

[Avi8tor]

Was looking at getting a bolt action 22. Don't know much about them. Just curious what the top ones were.

Need a little more information. What are you going to use the rifle for...plinking...serious competition...small game hunting...etc? What have you budgeted for the rifle? Is it for an adult or child? Do want a wood stock or synthetic?

cz 452 is a good in between action. its not as accurate as a br rifle but its better than your average squirle gun.

but pretty much as be mike stated more info required

you'll find much love for the CZ-452 (453 by now?) and the Savage Mk II series with the accutrigger.

Bet the Savage would be lower cost initially; less expensive and easier to find magazines, too.

Both are fantastic options.

I love my Savage MK II. The heavy barrel is a huge plus. The groups I shoot with it are pretty amazing for a 22. I've had it for a few years and its seen many rounds without a single problem.

Of course if you decide to go with a semi-auto the gold standard is the 10/22. You wont be disappointed with that weapon either.

 

[Avi8tor]

It would mainly be used for plinking. As far as cost goes, somewhere around 200-400. Synthetic or wood stock, doesn't matter. It would be for an adult. Already have a 10/22. Was looking for bolt action.

CZ and Savage are both good choices, can't go wrong with either.

+1 for savage. Great rifles at a good price. I have no experience with CZ

i have always been a fan of the Marlin 925. and at right under $200 its hard to beat

If I was looking for a new bolt gun I would give heavy consideration to the Savage MkII TR. The large bolt handle is easy to manipulate even with gloves, it has a recessed target crown on the barrel (the recess helps protect the muzzle edge), and comes with scope mounts. I also like the stock with it's multiple swivel studs and recess in the butt for a squeeze bag. One review I read had this rifle shooting 10 shot groups of .18 @ 25 yards with Wolf Match. It is sure to get envious looks at the range as well. Street price is about $370.00

Marlin makes a good rifle for the money. If you want to spend a little more than I would suggest a Savage with accu-trigger.

My CZ 452 with the hogback stock has served me well. I have a Redfield 4X scope on it and it slays jackrabbits with ease. They were $269 when I bought mine but that was in the 1990's Worth every penny.

I think it's becoming clear that you can't go wrong with a Savage or CZ. I have a Savage Mark II ... great rifle.

wish they were still 269. i just paid 325 for a used 452 varmint

I'm a fan of the m77/22. Mags, mag release, and barrels are interchangeable with your 10/22

Another for Savage or CZ.

 

[kalboy]

Marlin, Savage, CZ, and Ruger. CZ and Savage also make some left handed models in case you're a southpaw. The Remington 500 series guns are fine too.

 

[silkpoet]

I love my CZ American 452. It is insanely accurate and looks great as well!

I really like the looks of that rifle. I have a Savage MKIIFV and love it. My best group has been a quarter sized 5 shot group at 50 yards with Wolf. I know it will shoot way more accurately then I can. I wish they made one in .22MWR.
