What to get for a 22 bolt or semi?

Get both if it's possible. You can never have to much

 

[nkroeker]

Thanks. Got to start somewhere though.

BOLT. Semis are for kids.

Get a Scorpio, CZ, or if budget allows for perfection: a T1x.

Bolt first, but in the end 1 of each can't hurt, my kid shoots the semi way more then I do.

Any recommendations for an inexpensive bolt?

Scorpio, i don't have one but for the money they look amazing.
Or a savage mark 2 (which i do have and enjoy)

If just starting get a bolt and I would recommend a Savage Mark II as a great starter gun.

You'll probably spend less on ammo with a bolt gun. If u are near a csn tire store that sells firearms...check for a left over cz457. You'll always have it...

What's your budget and what type of shooting are you planning to do?

Hunting grouse and just playing around.
I’ll take a look at the Savage Mark II and Scorpio

All of them are available in the EE, head over there and check it out.
There is a CZ 452 right now that is worth more than a serious consideration..
I am shocked it has not been snapped up already.
This is another interesting one https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/threads/used-browning-sa-22-grade-one-650-00-obo.2515330/

Take a hard look at a CZ457…better fit and finish, better quality, better barrel, better accuracy potential…for just a few dollars more. And this way you won’t be pressed into trading up in the near future because the next level is substantially much more money, like $3-$4K.

I suggest a 10/22 with VQ hammer and a CZ with a good quality scope

What this guy said . My first semi was a 10/22 , bought 1966 , second year production gun (1965) which I still have , still running smooth and shooting straight !

I picked up one of the sort barrel scorpio's recently and it seems to shoot cci quiet's into grouse head sized groups at typical grouse distances around here... I got it on sale for less then $300 shipped and I'm pretty happy. The short barrel is not everyone's preference but I like the compact size.

It's easier to shoot quiet's out of a bolt action but it can be done manually cycling semi's and some semi's like the browning SA22 can cycle the quiets.

With the shorter barrel of the 332x the round will loose speed (at least in theory).

I was wondering if the CCI Standard Velocity may be slighty under the air "break, boom sound barrier" speed because of that ?

Anyways, mine is on the way. I guess I'll find out....

Here's some numbers with different .22lr rounds and barrel lengths, I'm not to worried about a slight reduction in velocity, CCI standard is designed to be subsonic out of any barrel length.

It doesn't lose speed, it loses time to accelerate.

CCI SV never goes trans sonic or whatever you want to call it. 1050fps out my tika. Sound is ~1200
