I had the Savage Mark II FVT and replaced the stock with a Boyd's, great shooter! Replaced it when I upgraded to the Anschutz.

I have more 22s than I can shoot. For a field gun it must shoot very good. For gophers my bolts are a Rem 541 and a old Bruno. If I was to buy a new gun I want it to be able to do 3/4 in at 50yds. A CZ is good for the money. Look at the "my gun shoots 1/2 in" post. There is some good information there.

I done a lot of shooting with .22's and many of the Op suggestions are great. CZ makes fine rifle in the 452 and 455 series. You may also want to look at Sako Quad or Finnfire 2.
Anschutz make a superb rifle and comes in two flavours of action the 54 and 64. The 54 action is used by most competition shooters.
If I had a choice I would go with the Weihrauch HW60J. A friend a former British REME Armourer had one and in his opinion it was second to a Mauser 201 for build quality. It was also very accurate and a great rifle.
Good luck in your quest.

That's the ticket. Good advice.

Good morning to you sir, hopefully this finds you and yours well.
Over the last few weeks I've been thinning the herd in both the gun safe and the reloading shelves as well as doing a bit of side work - so with the proceeds I'd promised our eldest daughter I'd buy her a decent bolt .22.
We finally got a day off our respective jobs last weekend, slid up north an hour Kelowna where she was able to handle a couple rifles and she picked out one of the very few Ruger Americans that have made it across the medicine line - a compact carbine length. A tip of the hat to the folks at Antler Creek who actually had both a carbine and a full length rifle for her to handle and who were very professional dealing with us.
It was raining last Sunday, but we wanted to see how it would shoot unmodified - so we mounted a 3x9 Tasco Golden Antler that was laying in the scope trading pile in the safe and this afternoon took it shooting.
We didn't go to the range as we typically do - instead both of us needing to deal with a wee bit of winter cabin fever so we drove up the mountain behind our house and set up a target 27 steps from the tailgate of the Dodge.
While she did use a front rest and rear rabbit ear bags, it was shot from a modified standing/leaning on the tailgate stance. No wind but overcast and 9° C.
The targets have a 15mm center or 9/16" and all groups are 10 shot.
The CCI Blazer on the top right measures 3/4"
Without the lone flyer on the bottom left target, the CCI Mini Mags would have gone into an even 1/2".
The CCI Target load in the second row did 3/4" even with the flyer and would have been 5/8" without.
We just might have to find a real scope with an AO to tune out the parallax for that little rifle and maybe even have her sit down next time.
Anyway folks for your edification and information there it is. As an additional thought, I'll just add that we've always been quite well stocked in the rimfire dept at our house - so we're comparing this new Ruger American sample against a 3rd year production 10/22, a very modified 10/22 "race gun", a 1958 Brno Model 5?, a 45 year old, tuned Lakefield Mossberg, an assortment of modified Cooeys... well you get the idea.
Thanks for looking and all the best to you all this spring.

Edit.. whoops, should have read everything. This has already been addressed.
