My first really accurate 22 was a H&R Targeteer. I think I paid 15 dollars for it back in 1954. It was in sad shape but it had a real walnut stock and I was able to clean it up and make it look pretty good, by refinishing the wood and using touch up cold blue, and 0000 steel wool to polish up the steel, I had a really nice looking rifle. It had a 5 shot magizine, and if I did my part it put them all in a dime sized group at 50 yards. I found remington standard velosity ammo to shoot the smallest groups. I installed a peep sight and leather sling, and shot many a varmit with it, as well as small game for the pot. I was forced to sell all my guns when I left for the Navy, and have often wondered who wound up with this rifle. I have had perhaps 25 rifles since, most of them good and none of them 22s. I own a CZ 527 American in 22 KHornet, and it is very good, perhaps the best up to 300 yards of any rifle I have owned.
