Best Budget 22lr

[duotone]

New here.... thanks for having me.

I'm also new to guns, so please be kind.

I'm also a dad, and my son and I started shooting our new Remington 597, which we both enjoy a lot. My son (12) seems to be a natural sniper, and me? It's all I can think about.

I'd like to get a bolt action so I can use CCI quiets, 'cuz I can't afford a suppressor.... and I have my eyes on the Savage Bolts:

Mark II TR or the MARKIIBTVS


What I'd like to know is, are these good rifles for 100yrds? I realize a lot of it has to do with the ammo, and most importantly, the shooter, but if I get the right ammo, and I do my part, how are these rifles?

Secondly, what other suggestions do you have for a newbie, and what other bolt actions do you suggest in the same price range?

Thank you.

The Savage TR will suit you well. I've shot my Mk2 BV in a TR stock out to 300. At 100 and 200 its simple and great practice. Savage is the best value hands down these days- it's one of few rimfires I've hung onto, and I've let Vostoks and Anschutz's out the door.

will do fine at 100 yards, rimfire accuracy is all about reading wind and having decent ammo.

Ckeck out the CZ bolt 22lr. They are good shooters. Also the Ruger 10/22 are fun to build too.

Get the TR. Ive shot mine with accuracy to around 300yards. Long range shooting with 22s gets addictive fast.

Another vote for the CZ 455, one of the "Varmint" models would be my preference.

Hmm. I thought I posted here but it's gone...


I vote CZ.

452 gets you a solid rifle
453 adds set trigger
455 has interchangeable barrels

Varmint in any model is a shorter, heavier, matte finished barrel with a heavier stock.

American is a thinner, blued barrel with a checkered stock.

I have a 453 varmint in .17hmr, and is like shooting a laser beam.

Re: Best Budget 22lr

Thanks all.... Seems to be a majority vote to CZ.

Well, time to start shopping.

Anyone every use one of those M&P 15-22 for longer range shooting?

Re: Best Budget 22lr

One other thing... since I'm new to this, I'm wondering what it is about the barrel that makes it good / shoot straight / long?

Thanks

Re: Best Budget 22lr

Accuracy comes from a barrel that is free of defects and made of quality materials.

Distance or range is a by product of velocity.

Re: Best Budget 22lr

I agree with some of the above: CZ bolts are great.

For cheap semi-auto, look at the Marlin 60 with the stainless barrel.. super fun!
