recommenations for bolt action 22 rimfire

[mark the moocher 0]

The much sought after Sako Finnfire, either the hunter or varmint, "IF" you can find one in good condition, quality rifle.

recomend changing your mind and getting a .17 hmr

been there done that twice a cz452 american 8 years ago and an arni 1517 thumbhole the other year sold both and went back to the 22lr exotic calibres come and go the good ones stay the course

 

Not sure I'd call a HMR an exotic calibre?

 

And a .22lr and a HMR are very different animals in my book!

 

ATB!

that that they are, one is expesive to feed, noisey and tempremental, the other is non of the afore mentioned :laugh:

ah, but the hmr will take vermin out at a much greater range.

Agree with Deker on this one; they are different tools for different purposes.

I value them both.

 

That said, if i could have only one, it would be the .22lr.

if the land i shot was not totally flat and surrounded by houses etc i would have another,but had a few zingers in a safe direction and had to sit there rabbit watching elsewhere. much more confident with the hmr.can't argue that 22lr is an awesome rifle.and nice you took my thoughts so well.still love those anschutz thumbholes.

Ya cant beat a cz, thousands of rounds through mine and it still puts hole in hole at 70 yards ten years later!

whats the problem here,if you want an ooh thats nice toy to look at or want a toy to use,get a cz,most on here who actually get out and shoot stuff,all weather,s,all year,want and use a reliable, acurate,rifle that will do the buisness,use the cz,mine shoots win sub,s all night long,will put eley,s throught he same hole,all night,it does,nt make a rifle any more acurate,because it cost,s a fortune,it,s the numpty on the end of it,and i think most other brand,s use the cz barrel,go figure,so the choice is your,s,are you a user or a polisher,take heed of the peep.s on here who actually use a rifle,for hunting,well that,s my opinion,oki doki,,ian

Not on a day like today it wont.. next to useless calibre in my opinion it completely lacks versatility and just became something 'trendy' to have, most people i know either dumped them or never bothered in the first place

Ive got a cz452 and a sako quad, Sako feels better and has a better trigger but the cz is faultless aswell

:hmm: :hmm:

 

Just what versatility are you after, it does what it says VERY well, if your mates don't need what it does then they bought the wrong gun, I struggle to see anything trendy about it, it is a functional tool! :thumbs:

[The Duncan 802]

Jaggsy, the hmr is fine even in the wind with practise! Once you can read the wind and can calculate how much windage to allow, you can still hit the target.

Like I said, its a different tool to the lr, and none the worse for it.

here here i for sure hit more with a hmr than i ever did with the lr but you need to be skilled to shoot one so perhaps a lr is best for some folks
