Im going to say CZ if you appreciate quality and accuracy, i have owned a lot of .22's but i've come to like CZ the most, because i can't afford a cooper. Savage makes a very accurate rifle also, but the craftsmanship is no where near the CZ. Marlins are great starter guns because they are accurate and reliable. The semi marlins, 795 & 60 are in my opinion the best bang for your buck semis out there.
A good .22 rifle
- Thread starter SaskGun
- Start date
I've been reading this thread with interest as I'm seriously thinking of getting a .22 bolt action as my first riffle. (I was thinking SKS, but the more I read about it... I'm not sure I want to start my collection with an epic battle vs cosmoline...)
The follow up question I would ask to the OP is this: what should I be looking for in a good .22 riffle? If it was a car (good handling, gas milleage etc) or a computer I know what to look for, but a riffle? What are the qualities I'm looking for?
thanks!

An SKS is a lot of fun; I'd suggest getting one as your second gun.
For your first rifle, you want something you like the look of. If you aren't all that interested in it, chances are you won't be that into shooting it.
Right after that, whatever feels the best in your hands. Hit up the guns hops and shoulder some, see what you find the most comfortable for your frame and grip.
Once you have something you like the look of and fits you the best, you want accuracy. Shooting a .22 is a lot of fun, but shooting AND hitting exactly what you are aiming at is the best feeling you can get. You won't have much issues with bolt-actions in terms of reliability; the technology is very old and most producers have the art perfected, though magazines can be a hassle at times. Some are better than others in that respect.
So that would be my criteria; Something you would want to shoot, something you find comfortable to shoot, and something you can use to knock the arse off a fly at 50.
But hey, whatever gets you out shooting works.

Yea. I also owned a TOZ some time ago, and it was darn accurate. Is that a TOZ kamlooky?
Believe it or not, she's a post war Winchester Model 69A.
Somebody before me buhbuhdda the stock.
If the checkering was perfect, it would be sweet.
She looks better in real life.
Nice and easy to handle and remarkably light.
And a goll darn nice trigger too.
Ask H4831 what he thinks of this gal.
He has a clone to her, with the original factory stock.
They sure don't make them like this anymore.
And they shoot S, L & Long Rifle too...............
