which .22 to choose under $700?

[RemingtonMarlin]

requirements:
1. accurate
2. quality
3. fun

cz 453, 10/22, or something else? So difficult to choose

I just sold my bl-22, so I am in huge need of another quality .22 to fill the void

10/22 is a very fun gun, doesn't meet the #1 requirement as a stock rifle though, but they're tons of after market 'accurizing' accessories.

 

[RemingtonMarlin]

forget to mention that I NEED a rifle.

10/22 is good but I am too lazy to do any modification.
Maybe I need two. one 10/22 plus something else.

453 for a bolt or a thompson centre for a semi

The modifications are very easy to make, personally, owning a gun is only half of it to me, stripping it down (when possible) and adding things can be fun too.

Savage Mk.II BV, BTV or BTVS, a quality scope and lots of ammo. Easily under your $700 budget.

Browning T-bolt. Accurate, cool and collectable.

all in i paid about $600 for my 10/22 target with scope & bipod i am wicked happy with my ruger

Browning Buckmark Rifle with a target barrel. They are a blast to shoot, accurate as well, a little ammo sensitive (Fed bulk packs soot well)

10/22 is a little easier to find tho.

I have recently got and shot one of these and it will be my favorite semi auto for along time to come, love those 10 round mags that slide into the pistol grip. I shoot American Eagle in mine, 38gr. FS

I'd definatly suggest a CZ. Depending on what your using it for though the 452 might be a better choice that the 453. If it's the trigger swaying you towards the 453 you could always get the yodave trigger kit and then you have more cash left to get a nicer scope.

I just listed a 453 in the Rimfire EE...

i've just go back from the range on day one with an improperly mounted scope my t/c R55 is shooting one hole groups at 50 yrds and 2 inch at 100 Some set up problems on my part but so far the R55 is looking to be a great gun.

Very impressive results. What ammo were you using?
So which model is your R-55? Where do you order proper bases and rings for it?

I am leaning towards a R-55 or a Browning T-bolt.

the browning buckmark looked like a deformed handgun to me. It makes me thinking what it would look like if one put a rifle butt stock to a colt 1911 along with a 18' barrel.

Any Savage Mark II's are extremely accurate. I've only fed mine Win Xpert 36gr so far so I don't know about other brands but this combo is accurate!
