Typically new prices are £3/400 upwards. Cz ,ruger,hw,sako, anschutz,cooper. If you want a bargain s/h, look at the old cz bruno's, these can be had for little over a £100 s/h from a gunshop.

Urban Fox Control London 8 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) A ruger 10/22 .22lr is a nice bit of kit worth looking at if you are considering a semi-auto. You can kit it out with a bi-pod, scopes, moderator and night sights (depending on your budget). I have a synthetic stock 10/22 with SAK moderator. It's whisper quiet and a reliable workhorse.

comanche 2,990 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi Just got my firearms cert and not sure what rifle to get Im looking for a .22 bolt action I'm mainly going to dispatch foxes in traps but wouldn't mind a good rifle that I can use for rabbit control on jobs etc What do you recommend Aesthetically there are prettier and more refined rifles but a good workaday choice would be a second-hand Brno. You won't worry if you put a dink in the stock and they are accurate . Mine's 28 years old ,has fired so many thousands of rounds it's worn out two firing pins (the only work ever needed)and still shoots a lot straighter than I can !. Quote Link to post

woodydog 1 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Have a look at a cz,a good second hand one wont break the bank and they go on for ever, you dont want to pay a lot of money for a gun your going to chuck in a van between jobs. Quote Link to post
