Your favourite .22 Mag

[1899]

What is your favourite entry level .22 Mag and why?

 

[Winnipeg Toymaker]

I loved the Marlin 25MN. it is so accurate at 100 yards that it astounded many people. I have also a Stevens 35 that is very comparable. I do not know if it is just that caliber or the rifles that make them so much fun to shoot.

10/22M

Lol...I should have said rifle.

Marlin has changed their rimfires...I have zero experience with the new XT. The Savage 35? Do you mean 305? The 10/22M is rare, isn't it?

10/22 m - probably discontinued it bcz they needed to make a nice steel receiver for it. There were also regular capacity magazines available for them for a while (25 rounders?) A very interesting rifle.

Just a plain old savage 93. It was dead accurate and only cost me 350.00 back in 05. Stainless and pretty these days sitting in a Boyd's stock.

You can still pick them up for about the same price and you can't go wrong. I use cci 40g maxi mags in mine and it hits home every time.

Zastava Z5

Shoots nickle size groups at 100 yds if there's no wind. All steel construction and an adjustable trigger. I got lucky with mine, it had a nice piece of wood on it. Once I refinished it the tiger striping really jumped out.

Scott...

I'm happy with my Stevens 305F that I tricked out awhile back. Boyd's stock and trigger tuned to 2lb.
Very accurate little rifle with the right ammo. Grey squirrels and feral cats beware.
Loud little bugger, but fun.

Initial sight-in with CCI Maxi Mag HP.

After zeroing the scope, but fighting the wind.

Cz 455. Best rimfire rifle I have used besides my 452.

I bought a marlin 782 in 22 mag. It was cheap or inexpensive and a MAGNUM!! I was young and was reading a lot of Jim Carmichael and others on how to accurise your rifle! i Free floated and epoxy bedded the girl. Scoped and ready to go! I must say that she would put 50 rounds through a 3/4 inch hole in a car door at somewhere around fifty yards. it made me interested in how guns work, and what i could do to improve on the factory offering. Today i just like doing more with less. I can thank that model 788 for producing the return on investment that it did.

My one and only .22 mag and one of the nicest shouldering rifles I own is a winchester 9422m. I love walking with that rifle!

Stevens 35 rifles were made in the 80s and indeed there is a Stevens Model 35M which is .22 magnum. From the stamping on the barrel i believe that Savage made them and sold them under Stevens. Great little rifle for it value. I have one and many a jackrabbit has filled my pot while using it.

My favorite 22 WMR's in order are;

1. Henry Frontier
2. Zastava Z5
3. Savage 93

Magnum research, basically a 10/22 only better

 

[camster]

I currently only have one .22mag. Kodiak 260. First semi auto .22mag....does that count as "entry level"?

 

[caramel]

Years ago i bought 2 rifles in 22 mag one Marlin 922M and one Ruger 10-22M, both have seen less than a box each of use, those are flawlessly working rifles and the wood on them is very nice, my go to 22 mag is still my Ruger 77 22 mag, accurate as a laser... JP.

 

[brybenn]

I love the look of the stainless savage 93 but I keep my old mossberg chuckster 6400k.

 

[fat tony]

I really like the Marlin 922m, always did. Harrington & Richardson also made a gorgeous .22 magnum semi-auto back in the 1970s. Either one of those would be very nice firearms I would imagine.

 

[camster]

I had an H&R model 70 (later became a 700). Great rifles. On the "I'll miss you" list... even managed to find a magazine for it here on CGN.

Will be on my toes for a bolty soon.
