Need a .22LR for hunting
« on: May 10, 2012, 11:24:43 AM »
I am looking to get a .22 LR hunting rifle. Can you guys suggest some decent ones for me?

Something reliable, and consistant.

Bolt--almost any of the old .22 bolt guns are still good.  For newer bolt I like the ruger 77/22.
Semi--the ruger 10/22 and rem 522 are good.

I like the Ruger 10/22 Takedown.

Anything I should know about that one?

Nice, I’ve never seen one, they must be new.  The only concern that I would have is the scope mounts are on the receiver and with the barrel coming on and off it may not stay true.  The sights are both on the barrel so that would not be an issue unless scoped.

I like the marlin mo: 60. Its a 14 shot tube fed semi auto. Its got a longer barrel then others and is very accurate. Shoot cci 22 lr minimag ammo and put a scope on it.

Nothing wrong with a good bolt, but this statement is absolutely true. A 10/22 is synonymous with .22 shooting or hunting.  :tup:

Browning BL22!   :tup:

i also the second the Marlin Model 60.  I have a stainless version and other than hosing out the action after rapid firing, it's foolproof!  no magazines to load or lose  :tup:  with a uber-cheap scope, it'll rattle a popcan forever!
