So I decided to buy a new bolt action .22LR Not yet but in the spring. My decision is the Ruger American and I would like to add a Boyds wood stock which are priced at $92 US. I think both will make a nice rifle. But for anyone out there with one I would like to hear what you think of the Ruger and/or the stocks from Boyd. One selling point is the reliable rotory mag that the rifle has. Thanks

I've been considering getting one for a couple months now, I like the magazine interchangeability with my 10/22.
The price is right with a lot of nice features. As I prefer wood I was looking at Boyds, they have some very nice ones. Only Canada can import $500 worth of orders. Other countries have a $100 limit not including shipping.

These are $300 by comparison, no cast parts, deep blued metal and nice walnut stocks. Boyds shipping is around $50, so $150 on top of the rifle to make an ugly Ruger look ok lol
And that is??
officially it's a Zastava MP22
But here sold as Z5 model.

Got one a little while ago from Frontier Firearms and like it.
Not that that's worth anything since it's my first 22 LOL

Now all you have to do is decide on the regular or compact model.
I chose the compact.
Fun accurate little shooter.

Looks like a nice handy rifle. Decisions decisions.
I've been looking at these also. $169 here in the states. Too new and I haven't found any sales and discounts for it yet. Most this has going for it for my money is the plethora of Ruger mags I have and it's offered as a compact. Hmm if Boyds offered a Mannlicher stock for it.....just not into the plastic stocked bolt actions. Rather save for a CZ 452/455.
Its very nice....averages to 2.5 lbs....You're not cycling the bolt fast enough!
