Good .22 bolt action rifle?

You know I do not know I don't even know how much they run.

 

[fivepointstar]

the lower ends Mossbergs can run in the low 100 while the high end Anschutz run 1K

Did you check out Marlin?

I just purchased a Marlin 981T. The place had to order it so I haven't picked it up yet but I can let you know how it is when I get it. It is a .22LR bolt action tube loader with a 22 inch barrel.

Ruger 77/22

All nice rifles

+1 for savage mark II, very affordable, especially if you can find one at walmart.

What Joppa said.

 

[Gun Nut]

Ruger 77/22 great choice

I can't say enough abut the Savage MkII's but if you are willing to do a little work to clean the riflle up and replace the front globe sight or mount a scope, Scott's Gunsmithing in Glen Burnie had a Winchester model 52 with Heavy barrel on the shelf for $400.

I really enjoy shooting my MKII.

What kind of glass do you have on that Herr.Baer?

OP, to expand a bit on my earlier thought, the three guns I listed are all popular with good reason. The Savages are the most affordable, offer the adjustable (and very nice) "accu-trigger" and are the most widely available.

The Rugers and CZ's are probably a step up from the Savage in terms of precision accuracy and fit and finsih, but it might indeed be a small step. The CZ's have a rabid and informed following on this board from some extremley knowledgable shooters.

If you want to drop a grand, an Anshutz is something beautiful to behold.

For now just a cheap Barska Excavator 8-32 I had laying around. I want to put better glass on it but just not sure what yet. I was thinking of a Vortex Crossfire 6-24.

Get a Mossberg Model 44D; one of the best .22 bolt-action rifles out there

Looks nice, never used a Barska. I think the one I've linked below is what mine has.

Sweet. Is the stock original or after market?

I really enjoy shooting my MKII.

I have been looking into this as well. The tube loading and the variety of ammo that can be used appeal to me.

Exactly Chevy, Ford, Dodge.

Marlin makes a good one also the 25's were nice and the newer model is as well not sure of the number.

I have heard mixed reviews on the Mossberg 802 bolt but I have a 702 semi and love it.
