Looking for Solid 22 LR input
« on: Yesterday at 09:16:40 PM »
I've been trying to teach the grandkids (8 of them) gun discipline, and just general outdoor/life discipline. Started as a Fun thing to do with BB guns, (some) moved up to Pellet guns, and some are are ready for 22lr. I would like some recommendations on a good ACCURATE (because Success builds confidence) Bolt action 22lr. Not looking for "reviews", Looking for actual use reviews of a weapon you would  buy for your kids. These kids are Eager to learn outdoor skills, and a good solid rifle is what I need.

Thanks in advance for your inputs and suggestions..   :tup:

Ruger American Compact rimfire.  Mine will put 10 shots in a one inch group at fifty yards with the ammo it likes.  Simple little 4 power Leupold scope is money.

Remington Nylon 66
Definitely a can opener

I actually bought a standard and a compact for teaching my grand kids.
The compact shoots like a target rifle.
Luck of the draw with Rugers.
Use the single round magazine to get them started .
Nice part is the Ruger rotary magazine that works and is cheap.
Have your choice of single,10,15 or 25 shot versions.
And by changing the stock pieces they can grow into it.

My all-time favorite grouse head shooter is the Ruger m77 22lr. Unfortunately they quit making that rifle. I'm actually looking for another one in the stainless laminated stock version.

I read that you are looking for a BOLT action.
Marlin models 20 and 25. Or nowadays, a Savage.

Marlin model 25 is about as good as it gets for bolt action. The Remington 572 Fieldmaster is as good as it gets for a .22lr rifle.

Another vote for Ruger American Rimfire bolt action.  I paid ~$300 for mine and I love it.  Groups very well with super cheap ammo.  It's no CZ or Tikka PRS setup, but for the price I really enjoy plinking with it.

Tikka t1x. Throw a can on it while you're at it.  Only thing that makes a rimfire more fun is a suppressed rimfire😍

I've also been looking for one to get my girls started on. Short LOP, bolt action with magazine and threaded barrel. You'd think there would be more options out there than there is

Find a classic Winchester model 69a. My dad gave me one when I was 10 years old and I still have it now. My kids and grandkids learned how to shoot with it and it’ll still shoot 1” groups at 50 yards. The original 4x Weaver scope still works fine.  Granddaughter got her first chicken-stealing coyote with it too.

I like my Savage Mk II tactical. It is inexpensive and shoots very well.

The Ruger American's come variety of flavors, including stainless, shoot well, and have a threaded barrel so you can suppress it. Even better with subs under 900fps.

I know you said bolt  but i would look into the ruger 10/22 with a nikon BDC match rimfire scope mounted on shoot thru rings so they can still use the iron sights. All my kids and there buddies will pick up this .22 over the classic with a bolt. They have put thousands of rounds thru it with O issues. As with all rugers pretty much kid proof and using CCI standard ammo never a jam. Just my  :twocents:   Also  Keep your eyes out for a heritage cowboy .22 pistol. Always good deals on them like from basspro  :dunno: :bash:  I know but for right around 100 bucks i bought 2 and the kids love shooting them. Its all about them being safe but having fun :tup: :tup: :hello:
