Bolt Action 22lr's.

[NYH1]

I'm thinking about getting a bolt action 22lr. I want a traditional heavy barrel rifle for target shooting as well as for limited small game hunting and pest control. I've looked at the Savage Mark II BV, Marlin XT-22VR and Ruger American Rimfire Target so far. I'm not really leaning towards any one of them over the other at this point. Just like to get opinions on them and maybe other similar models.

Thanks, NYH1.

I would add CZ to your list.

I have a Savage Mark II FV-SR and love it. The accuracy is excellent and so is the trigger. The only knock is the factory stock, but I replaced it with a Boyd's. I'd shy away from current production Marlins personally and I have no experience with the Ruger. I'd echo adding the CZ if it's within your budget.

I have read good things about the Savage 22's.

I own a suppressed CZ 455 Tacticool, and love it. We spent yesterday at the range with it, and had to pry the kids off it with a crowbar.

I got mine from these folks, they get them periodically: http://tooeleshootingsupply.com/

Have you ever had your bolt come out when you cycle it?

I got a Tacticool as well and mine will often, as in every time I shoot it, let the bolt slide out. I know that could happen if I was lazy with my finger touching the trigger and I believe is the trigger spring was too light. But I haven't adjusted anything. My friend was convinced I must touching the trigger, so I even went so far to shoot left handed and even saying out loud "finger off". Sure enough the bolt flies out.

I really like the rifle and have actually bought some replacement springs for it. also my bolt in really tight. The Lift. i watched some YT vids of a guy radiusing a few areas to solve that but again haven't done anything. I also get some feed issues which maybe is the ammo but I can't seem to get through a mag without an issue. I know sometimes I have pulled the bolt too slowly trying to figure the bolt issue and that leave a case then messes up the next round.. Anyway, I still really like the rifle and need to fix these issues but I've never really heard of anyone that has had this sort of thing happen.

I'm wondering if there is some area I should specifically check or should I think about sending it back to CZ.

Interesting, I have not had that issue.

I would definitely give CZ a call, and ask their advice. From all the reports I have read, they seem to be very responsive.

Another CZ 455 vote here. Really nice rifle. Great shooter. If you haven’t, try and shoot both.

Add CZ to the list, for the money they’re hard to beat. Beyond a CZ a field grade Anschutz might be worth a look if a deal can be found.

I have a Cooper 57M that has been outstanding, but admittedly is probably more $$$ than most would spend on a rimfire.

I don't know much about CZ. Have to check them out.

Just took my son to the Bass Pro Shop. They had a few Savages. I fondled them and really like them and their accu-trigger (I think they call it. Overall the rifles seemed well made.

Thanks, NYH1.
