Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a .22 for sale, LR, semi-auto pref. I'm getting into target shooting

Hungry here: Welcome to the CGN board. All you gotta do is ask for help , in the correct forum, in this case: Rimfire and not in Precision Rifles. There are all kinds of helpful and resourceful people on the board. Use them wisely. Learn lots and then return the favour one day.

Usually you don't pick a semi for target shooting.
How accurate do you want to be?
Much as I hate to say this, the only choice in a semi for target shooting would be a tricked out 10/22. Start with $250 plus taxes and shipping for a base 10/22 and then throw another $800-$1000 or so at it in parts and you should have an accurate semi. Assuming you are talking scoped, you'll need another $300-500 for a scope.

WTF? OK.....so the T/C R-55 benchmark, Vintage Voere's, Buckmark Target, 597 HB's etc. are not options? Purchasing any one of these rifles beats the hell out of sinking a grand into a 10/22, which at the end of the day is still....well....a 10/22.

If you include bolt actions in your choices, there are TONS of choices better than a custom ruger, many for much, much less than a "build".

Hi Buckshot and Welcome to CGN.

As mentioned, semi-auto's are usually not used as target rifles, but they can be really accurate. I have a 10/22 that I have customized (put about $750 into it including scope) that is deadly accurate.

But I would think about gettting a bolt action. A used anschutz 64 or 54, or even a brno or a CZ would be a good choice.

Good luck
 
If you can be swayed get a bolt action. If not then get a 10/22. But as stated above you will have to put some money into it. You don't have to put a $1000 into it. VQ trigger components: $120, Barrel: $200, Stock to fit bull barrel: $150 (hogue). Bedding the action: I have no idea. Plus optic's but you need that anyway.
 
Now look at the TC R-55 benchmark (semi, heavy barel, bedded, match chamber, target crown, intregal mounts....532.99 @ SIR...which is a better deal?

I like to tinker. I like the option of having 25 round mags. If I could get hi-cap mag on a different rifle I might not have gotten the 10/22, but that option isn't available.
 
If you like to tinker......make one! It's really not that hard to adapt mags back and forth. The aftermarket hi-caps (IMO) are just for people without the skills/desire to make one of their own.

Besides, he specified he wanted to get into target......those big ass-mall ninja banana mags make it awefull hard to ride the bags.
 
Buckshot707, I think there might be some confusion as to what you mean by target shooting...

For me, target shooting is this:

To others, this is target shooting...

Then again, shooting at any kind of target can be called target shooting...

Depends what he means by target shooting. I doubt any of the above semi's will get him into the sub 1/4 inch at 50 yards area where as a built 10/22, with a enough money, should.
Personally, I don't much care for semi's. I agree, by building a 10/22 you end up with a $1000 gun that no one will give you $500 for.

If it's just a semi for shooting he was asking about, I'd go Winchester 74, Remington 550, Remington 66, Winchester 63, maybe one of the CZ's.

I'd have to agree. You end up with a $1000 into a gun that you will have a hard time selling (if you ever choose to) and it will be about as accurate as a $200 old mossberg. Let the flaming begin! :p
 
Well if it is semi you want,the Marlin model 60 seems pretty darn accurate with good quailty non-hollow point target ammo and they are decently priced,but they are tube feeders which can be a pain to load:mad:
 
There is another option. Just buy the k10/22T. It's the target model. The trigger is less than a regular 10/22 but not as good as a modified. You can always drop in the parts later if you want. The stock is nice, the barrel is good, and you can get it in stainless or blued. It's a nice looking set up.
You can get one for just over 500. Maybe less if you find one used.

The accuracy is decent, especially for a semi. The mags fit flush with the bottom, and the fit/finish is good. It's a classy rig.

For me there was no comparison. The marlin and savage didn't have the fit/finish that I wanted.
I really wanted the Savage with the thumbhole stock in .17HMR. That magazine and the lower fit/finish bugged me too much. It's too bad because everything else was right about it.
