Getting a used .22LR from Intersurplus.

But the deal I did with Intersurplus was smooth, it was shipped within a hour of paying. Doesn't charge alot for shipping, was only 35$.

The item was as described.

I'd deal again.

You suggested a Savage MK2. Then you went after the guy for suggesting Anschutz's and how he was only asking about the Voere.

So you are just arguing for the sake of arguing. So don't tell others to read when you cannot even do what you are telling others.

As usual, NOT so Okay shooter is derailing another tread.

Hopefully one day we will all be as blessed and as gifted as you.
 
Thank you guys for the hot takes. I'm not interested in a single shot per se, it was just the first selection that came up with my problem with Intersurplus ...

Like I said, I am very open to a one and done quality rifle with an iron sight before I start using optics (preferably), I am very willing to consider brand new higher price point paper/small game rifle...

I am currently considering the Zephyr II from Steyr as well... If not a new 1416D-HB or used Voere in 22LR(boxed magazine) from Intersurplus.

I've bought quite a few used rifles from intersurplus, and they're great to deal with. Like others have said, read the descriptions and look at the pictures. Many times they've been better condition than they say, and some of them have had really nice wood once cleaned up.

I personally enjoy iron sights a lot and was in a similar position to you several years ago. I was lucky and able to find a very nice CZ 452 Lux on the EE which has excellent adjustable tangent leaf sights and cost under your minimum budget. It is my favourite rifle. Period. Those deals are few and far between today. The stock irons on 455s were awful. The CZ 457 has brought back good sights though at a price higher than you (or I) would like. I was in Calgary Shooting Centre the other day and saw some very nice CZ 452s (without sights) for your low end budget, it would be worth giving them a look. You could always get your money back out of it. Just a thought.

I have also dealt with Intersurplus and they provided good service.
 
Just throwing in my two cents about intersurplus, bought from them and no problems, read the description and your good to go, I search them when I'm looking for a bit of a project and know what I'm getting into.

Keep us posted on what you decide always interested in what other CGN'ers choose and why.
 
I have bought numerous guns from Interruptus including CenterFire rifles, a double barrel shotgun. Most recent was a single shot TOZ .22. All were in better than expected condition when they arrived. As others have said, red the descriptions. Recently they had a bunch of CZ/Brno 452s I think. Their pricing on these was fair, and while not from there, I have and early one with lovely walnut. I think they are nicer rifles than the 455 and 452 in both looks and balance. Silkiest bolt I own (and I own a lot of them) LOL. Nothing wrong with a 455 either, my Bench rifle is built on a 455. .22 is the way to go for cheap fun. Shooting for accuracy rather than mag dumps is challenging and very satisfying!

Hello!

I am very new to firearms and all; I bought a Winchester 1892 and had about 100 rounds so far and thoroughly enjoyed it.(I am planning to plink away for the season until I can get better at aiming before I go hunting)

The friend that took me to the range had a 10/22 with him that day and I really enjoyed the affordability of shooting it..

I am pretty sure I am NOT A FAN the semi-autos at this point and my friend suggested I take a look at either the T1x or CZ 457...

The question here is, instead of deciding between those two, Intersurplus seems to have a laundry list of cheaper bolt .22LRs available; the problem is they often don't state what the models are, examples such as https://intersurplus.com/collections/22-lr/products/voere-single-shot-in-22lr .

I am wondering what you guys' thoughts are on getting one of these .22LRs(or from intersurplus in general)?

Basically use case is to plink and maybe hunting down the road; I plan on keeping these things forever(I am a bit of a hoarder)

Budget is around $5-600 bucks at this point.

Any recommendation and direction on what to expect or look out for would be greatly appreciated!

As far as purchasing from InterSurplus goes, they've been excellent to deal with for me personally. I've purchased several times & always great communication and willing to answer any questions I had.

I would personally go with a basic CZ457, you can find a basic one in your price range on #######.

You derailed it way before I commented ( Post 11 and 14 ) I just called out your hypocrisy. Unlike you, I dealt with the company.

I also have a Savage Mk2, 2x Anschutz and wack of other single shots. I take an Anschutz over a Savage any day.

The model you suggested, the scope is crap and will need to be replaced in a year, and by time you pay taxes and shipping, replace the scope. You are looking at more than what I paid for an used Anschutz that shoots 1/2" at 50 yards. Also my Savage Mk2 was only 350 shipped.

If I had to restart, I'd look at a Tikka T1X as a general purpose 22.

One thing I'll never be, pink like you'll be.

Basically I have different direction in mind atm(I am open to getting a really nice brand new bolt like a 1710) but it seems like there are a few tax bills due soon and the very smart thing for me is probably to settle those before getting one; as I have mentioned in the post earlier, I'd prefer getting a rifle that I can keep for life.

I don't want to say issue but biggest question mark about getting a rifle from Intersurplus is it still feels like a lottery draw and anything decent seems to hit the low end of my original budget, but there really is no way to tell how hold these firearms are and how they'd hold up..
 
Browning 22-SA is a nice one and should be within your stated budget. The take-down option is always nice to have. The Remington 24 and 241 were knock-offs which were arguably just a good. It's hard to wear out a decent .22 barrel; I've seen some thrashed .22s that still had excellent barrels.
 
I have a lot of 22 rimfire rifles. There have been good deals with Intersurplus.

While picking up unusual 22 rifles from Intersurplus is okay for an old guy like me, I would not steer a new shooter in that direction.

My suggestion to you would be for something that has parts readily available, and at a minimum magazines readily available and not costing an arm and a leg.

For a starter 22 rifle I, the same as others, recommend a good bolt action over a semi. I also recommend it be a repeater with a detachable magazine. There are several good new guns that fit this category without costing a fortune along with many fine examples in the used market.

The Zephyr II and 1416D-HB are lovely rifles as I have both. I would suggest that perhaps you start less costly (and more dollars for target grade ammo) with the option being you can always trade up in the future after gaining some experience punching paper.

Good iron target sights are nice (especially if you have sharp young eyes or eyes like my father who could outshoot me with irons when he was in his 70s), but you should be sure to have a grooved receiver to add a scope down the road.

Good luck on the journey.
 
Two words;

COOEY

ANSCHUTZ

One of those two and u will have a great shooter and an heirloom to boot

Uncountable grouse and rabbits have fallen to the pot with my Cooey 39 single shot. My 6 yr old just went 3 for 5 on a 6” plate at 25 yards with it too. Offhand!!

I have an Anschutz 9mm flobert too which I will be playing with this season.

Rimfire can really be an opportunity to try lots of different things. I have bought many “weird” one-offs and antiques and they all shoot pretty well.

Enjoy!!

Thank you! Honestly I am still leaning towards getting either of them new depending on how things go; I kinda figured even if I get a second hand model have someone suggested, it will just be extra step to work it in... have you actively hunted with either? Which one do you like better?

Thanks for the rec, I have been milling around EE/GP and kinda seeing Cooey and Annies at roughly brand new prices..

How are the single shots? I am actually building myself up to a REALLY fun bolt center fire, still trying to decide on the caliber..

For that matter I am not entirely fixated on a 22lr, I'd consider other rimfire calibers too, as long as they are relatively readily available.. I am kinda learning a lesson with my .357 Mag/.38 Spl, less 'common' calibers have a tax on them.. Either be ready to pay expensive reg price ammo or have a pile of cash ready to go if they ever go on sale....
 
I was in your shoes 7 years ago and bought a CZ 452 Lux - still shoot it often, even though I have a new CZ 457 all fancy for PRS.

Not knocking all the old rifles and I am sure they are great, but I would suggest not messing around as a new shooter and getting a CZ 457 Lux if you want irons and bolt action. CxZ 457s have really good aftermarket support and you can get trigger spring kits, magwells, stocks, barrels, wide variety of magazines, shim kits, etc, etc...

Keep in mind that accuracy is not everything, and just going to the store and shouldering a bunch of models and working the actions will tell you tons - one will speak to you.
