Ruger 10 22

I would vote for marlin model 60 or 795 that can be purchased for 100 bucks with the current rebate. Hard to be out of the box accuracy of the marlin rifles at a fraction of the cost.

Thumbs up for Tech Sights here, too. If you're going to run iron sights on a 10/22, I prefer a rear peep.

Nodak Spud is indeed one shop that makes an M1 style rear peep. IIRC it only fits on their their own 10/22 style receiver due to the shape of the top surface. Other non-Ruger receivers include MOA, Volquartsen, Kidd, Tac-Sol, and probably several others. Your options for making a pimptastic 10/22 are pretty much limitless.

I bought a new Ruger 77-22 and the accuracy was horrible. Sent it back to Ruger and they didn't fix it. Sold it at a big loss. Ruger can kiss my ass.

that's a hell of a nice rifle.
I'm basically focused on 9mm pistols at the moment. I'll get back into 22 stuff someday probably.

I've got an old Norinco TU-33/40, basically a Chinese knock-off of the CZ action in a stock mimicking the old G-33/40 Czech Mauser mountain carbine. It's been a great gun, ever since I was a kid. I've taken squirrel, groundhogs, birds, rabbit, you name it. I plan to teach my boy to shoot with it when he's old enough.

The only downside is that they can't import them anymore. You can still find them around on Gunbroker from time to time, but the prices are pretty rude. I'm glad I got mine when I did.

I'm kind of on a .22 kick myself. I find myself shooting my GSG5 alot, and have just purchased a Polish .22 trainer from AIM.

I pick it up on Friday when it comes in and can't wait to see how it shoots.

With all this .22LR shooting going on, when will the .22LR ammo prices skyrocket? doh!

Don't even think it. During the last ammo shortage nonsense I couldn't even find any .22 because my local Walmart store manager is an avid shooter and he was buying all the .22 first before it even made it on the shelves.

Mac have you thought about an M&P15-22? I don't have one yet but it's high on my list to get. I like all the discussion about other models and since the 15-22 has several threads all its own so I won't derail this one but it seems like it would be total viable for teaching new shooters plus has the added benefit of being a low cost trainer for your AR.

What do you guys think of the Savage bolt action rimfires? I've also been looking at those as a more affordable option than a CZ. I'm also torn on another .22LR vs getting a .22 WMR or 17HMR but that's a whole other discussion
