Looking for Solid 22 LR input
b23:
My first two choices would be the CZ 457 ideally the "American Combo" model followed closely by the Tikka. With the CZ American Combo it's like getting two rifles in one and like Karl mentioned, if you don't already have one, go ahead and get going on a rimfire suppressor because they just make shooting 22's more funner'er. :tup:
Parasite:
I like my Browning T-Bolt.
JimmyHoffa:
Ruger 77/22 if you can find one. It actually has a crisp trigger and I find it to be very accurate. I've shot all kinds of small things, like empty 22 casings, staples on my buddy:s targets, etc.
For hunting grouse and rabbit were in trouble.
EnglishSetter:
Wouldn't consider a levergun?
The guns I own that I would teach with are:
1) Start with the Ithaca 49 "boys rifle". Single shot, hammer cocked by thumb. Unfortunately survivors are no longer cheap.
2) Progress to Marlin 39M (or A). Adds repeater, sighting options and overall quality. A lifetime rifle.
Both shoot any .22 rimfire (non-mag).
I'm also going to differ from learning on "buckhorn" sights with young eyes. Same sight picture they'll use when shooting pistols. Most my rifles and some pistols now have optics or lasers, but old eyes largely drove that decision. Success does drive confidence, but fun drives desire. A lever .22 is FUN. With reasonable goals for the platform, success is readily achieved.
"Accurate" can mean many different things. Minute of soda can or cloverleaf.
Parasite:
Also, dont discount the 17 HM2 caliber. Definitely more accurate than 22 LR.
