Getting a used .22LR from Intersurplus.

[Meroh]

Just bought my 2nd & 3rd EM322 Scorpion from SFRC and man are those things awesome for the price.

They truly are! However, the sights leave a bit to be desired.

CZ, new or used, not a target rifle, repeater buy extra mags.

Thank you! Honestly I am still leaning towards getting either of them new depending on how things go; I kinda figured even if I get a second hand model have someone suggested, it will just be extra step to work it in... have you actively hunted with either? Which one do you like better?

You are going to laugh at my response.

My 22 rifles mostly sit in lockup only coming out to be oiled. There are a few I have not even sighted in yet let alone experimented with.

I cannot recall enough details to recommend the Zephyr II and 1416D-HB. I recall that with federal gold medal ammo at 50yds with the 1416 it was basically one ragged hole. I don't think I have sighted in the Zephyr yet. Think I have a compact Burris variable 3-9 on it. The 1416 has a 6-24 Leupold on it with adjustable objective.

As for hunting, most of my 22 shooting is done punching paper.

Around the farm my go to 22 rifle is the used Marlin model 80 my father traded a semi-auto Mossberg for at the local Cdn Tire back in the early 60s when I was too young to recall. it's topped with some Japan made 4x scope. It serves the purpose of eliminating starlings and varmint critters. It is kept handy in a steel cabinet in the closet in the mud/boot room just inside from the garage. I keep a key for it on my key ring along with others for around the farm. There is also an old single shot 12ga Winchester break action in there along with a Mendoza single shot 22 with no scope for eliminating critters from the live trap. I also have a steel cabinet in the shop where they may end up for lockup. if any of those guns suffer a ding or nick being used, it will not make me cry. The other rifles go to the bench here and not carried or to the club in a hard case.

I wouldn't worry too much. 22 rimfires are like Lays chips, you cannot have just one.

That I won't!

I also have a lot of random stuff that I collected over the years because I can and don't really want to touch it! If you are interested in parting with the Zephyr you will have a receptive audience in me!

Just throwing in my two cents about intersurplus, bought from them and no problems, read the description and your good to go, I search them when I'm looking for a bit of a project and know what I'm getting into.

Keep us posted on what you decide always interested in what other CGN'ers choose and why.

There is some development!

So I found a sick deal on Tenda for the 1416 at $999 brand new; so I am going with it.. My friend is 'lending' me a bushnell banner 4-12x40mm, so I guess I will have a new toy to plink soon!

That being said, I still want a 22 with an iron sight....
