This is a great forum for learning and sharing, you just need a good sense of humor and thick facial skin, though.

.22 sniper rifle

....that is an oxymoron, unless the enemy is a rabbit or one shoots curare tipped bullets.

A 22 rimfire can be very accurate at 200 yards/meters.
You need a good platform to start with.
You need top quality ammo that your 22 likes.
You need good optics in the 24-36X range.
You need a quiet, windless time to shoot.
Then you can be sub-½ moa, even with the lowly 22 LR.
Check these 22 rimfire targets at 200:

Can't get anywhere near these groups, at 200yds, with my 597 and Tasco 4X.

.22 sniper rifle- suppressed 22lr for guard dogs and other tricks

For fun at the range out past 300 you will need a bigger gong I have a Dar22 with KIDD parts and trigger and 18" barrel and just need to learn how to shoot it All the tragets are with 22lr FGMM subsonic ammo.

At 50yards

At 300 yards a couple weeks ago- need over 44moa to get on target (subsonic)

And Toolman's first shot-Yes he knows how to shoot Targets at 50 yards

200 yds under 2" is sub MOA. You just won't get that from a 10/22 at 200 yds. Look at a heavy barrel savage, or CZ bolt action, and a quality scope with no less than 24x magnification and adjustable parallax. And match grade ammo. It can be done, but the package will be $600-$1000

...and WHAT exactly do you base that staement on? All things being equal, excellent quality barrels are available and I really don't buy into the 'semis are not as accuare as bolt guns' as much as I used to. True, it's a more complicated system but if you are willing to modify the bolt for correct headspace and have a nice rigid rig I seen no reason why you can't achieve MOA out to 200 yards and beyond. It might be easier with another platform but if this was easy everyone would do it

I sorta agree with Mike. I have a semi auto and the drop off is different than a bolt action. However if you do have the optics that can adjust for over 5 to 8 feet in drop. With good ammo I think you could group well. Just not as well as a bolt action.
