Most accurate 22LR $500 or less

Mine would go maybe 100 runes before FTE. Brakekleen the bolt in the middle of a match is not cool.
Well, right now there is a CZ452 for $600.00 , that’s a hundred over your limit that will shoot lights out anything else for the money you mention.
Problem is it is a heavy barrel….
But, it will be accurate with most anything you feed it, unless your going to put Lexington teller jackets through it.
Then all bets are off.
It isn’t my gun and the guy is leaving money on the table at $600.00 in my opinion.
Go look at it.

Savage Mark 2, I've had 2x FV-SR models, only extraction issue I every had was with waxy CCI ammo in the cold, I have run full bricks of Center-X through them flawlessly without cleaning. The Norinco NS522 is a very accurate gun if you could even find one, last one I bought was $199, search the NS552 thread, it's probably the biggest rimfire thread created here on CGN!
Getting your wife to love shooting is the best way to be able to go to the range on a regular basis!
My wife and I both run Savages 22lr, a MkII and a newer B model with the rotary mag. I added a spring on both bolts to help with extraction and that has pretty much resolved the issues. Simply piggy-back the new spring over the old one and it's done.

Same. I am getting fed up with mine, which is too bad, because it flat out shoots.

^^^ +2 for the Xt22, my xt22vr has been amazing. It was sub $300 when I bought it but I’m sure they’re a bit more now if you can find them. Not sure what availability is like with the whole Ruger buyout, has been very accurate with pretty much everything I’ve put through it. Cci mini mags and federal AE or Automatch especially for the bulk .22 catagory, it’s been a bunny slayer to say the least. I came in just under $500 for the gun, rings and scope. So for 1/2”-3/4” accuracy @ 50y on average it’s hard to beat.
From what I remember the target below was with either mini mags or a flavour of Eley .22lr while I was trying to beat the 1/2” @ 50y rimfire challenge, it’s the closest I’ve come and the flyer was my fault lol.

Good recommendation. Any specific place you would recommend getting the spring from?
Savage MK 2 FV (heavy barrel, no iron sights, plastic stock) is on sale at Cabelas for the next two weeks.
I've got two MK2s, one is the basic F model, the other is an stainless heavy barrel in a laminate stock. Great guns for the money. I have had extraction issues, but only with two types of ammo. I've probably run 15 different types of ammo through my first one, and only winchester wildcats and cci mini mags gave me any issues. Haven't put much through my 2nd one, I mostly shoot CCI Standard in my bolt actions and I've had no issues with that in either gun.

Mystic Precision used to bring in Boyd's stocks. Still might, wouldn't hurt to ask.
ok, thx for that. i saw some vendor can’t remember which, that sold boyd’s stocks, not the one for the mark II though… thanks again for the reply.
