22 precision

Do you want "Off the Rack" or can you do mods to 'improve' ? Max Owner is right. CZs do pretty well OTR , same price range as "Precision XX " in a chassis. Alternative would be a 'not-chassis' rifle in the $4-500 range that needs a 'tune-up'. I have a Savage B22 I just shot today that gets ca 0.5xx" with 'better' ammo - $500-ish. And Scorpio EM322 is in the $250-range but I hear needs a bit of 'polish'.
i have a savage mark II btvs that is also a tack driver.

If you're looking for something fancy like the cool kids have with an aluminum chassis and a truck axle barrel, you can stop reading here. If you're ok doing some tinkering, the suggestion of a Scorpio is great. Here's my son's rifle, shortened the stock for him by almost an inch, added a nice long ARCA rail from amazon with some JB wend and machine screws, made a bigger bolt knob, cleaned up the crown and smoothed the action, 3d printed some 2 round mags extensions so they hold 12 now, trigger job, made a cheek riser from a plastic bucket.
This target was 10 rounds of SK standard plus at 100m. The flyer was my fault, the bipod slid on the bench at just the wrong time. The base rifle is definitely a bit rough when you get it, sort of like the manufacturer did 90% of the work to build a great rifle, then sells it for 1/3 or 1/4 of what a great rifle would cost. It's no cz, but I would take a Scorpio over a Savage any day, even if they cost the same.

Nice ! That's more what I'm looking for. And it's for my 10 year old son to. Thanks for the detailed advice. Regards
You are right. Should be more detailed question. It's for my son. Shooting from a bench with a bipod at the range. Want to shoot up to 100y but mostly 50y. +/- 800$ scope not included. Looking for a bolt action preferably.

You're welcome. Everything I did should be pretty easy for anyone with some mechanical skill and basic hand tools to replicate, except making a bolt knob. But you might find someone with a short barrel version that would prefer a smaller knob and would be willing to trade, or if you want to send the bolt to me, I could make another.

Can find Anschutz 64s for that price.
No problem. I'm a certified gunsmith with 20 years experience as machinist to
I'm sorry but I just have to reply - Was that 1 flyer or 9? ;o)
Kristian, I haven't looked at it too closely, but what's holding the butt pad in place on the Scorpio's, was it easy to remount the pad after you shortened the stock? I was thinking that I would prefer it if the stock was an inch or so shorter.....
The Anschutz 64 is an under appreciated gem of a rifle. Simply amazing trigger and the rifles shoot very well.
We've used a 64M in the gopher fields for 20+ years and it has been amazing.
