new semi 22

[sp-10]

I am in the market for my first rimfire. 223 is getting too expensive. Here is my criteria i want something with a wood stock, i would perfer if it had iron sites, i want a detachable mag, i dont want stainless just blued, i would like to have the option to upgrade it in the future, and it must feed flawlessly and shoot good. I am thinking my budget is ~300 tax in. what does everyone recomend?

Wow, five minutes and no "get a 10/22" comment.

Go get a 10/22

10/22 price is right...and with extra $$$ you can mod them up quite a bit

 

[taffman]

If that's all you want to spend right now, a 10/22 would be perfect.

I have a 10/22 and it will eat any kind of .22lr you feed it... it's a great, accurate rifle. I highly recommend it.

TOZ 78 or BRNO/CZ. Both really nice weapons and there are some available for that price range almost anywhere.
Cheers,

Or, get a 10/22 and eventually dress it up as a .223.

It's slightly more than $300 but comes with a heavy barrel and laminate stock, no real reason to upgrade it.

Upgrading a 10/22 isn't all what it's cracked up to be.

Edited: Oh yea I forgot you wanted a semi...never mind waht I said.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

you can get an older Sears 64C for close to the $100 range. just check the rimfire EE and look at all the available options.

Like Cyclone said dress it up as a 223

It's so nice to be quoted; now please excuse me as I drool enviously over pc9's lovely rifle!

I was thinking at getting one of them but then i decided i want a semi. If i was going to get a bolt that would be the one i would get.

I was worried about getting a 10/22 because of all the complaints about feeding issues and accuracy but ill probally end up with one or that savage. if i got a 10/22 i would have to have a high cap mag which one is the most reliable?

A used Thompson R55 Sporter, Allweather or Classic might fit the bill. Tad more than $300, and no upgrades required.

For upgradability, a 10/22 of course.

well i still think it is worth a mention. bone stock this rifle is very good in my opinion. eats all ammo, has the accutrigger, wood stock, bull barrel, and is bolt action.

if you want to consider bolt action then this one is the one for you, hands down.

i know i love mine.

For semi-auto, gotta go 10-22.

Mine is still bone stock, but I can already see how addictive aftermarket parts can be. You can do anything with it.

There are plenty of far more interesting and capable used auto loading 22 rimfires out there to hunt and find... go to a show or two, and pick up a few. You will be surprised on what you find.
