.22 LR-Could someone give me a definitive answer?

[richie 1]

i own 2 ruger 10/22T`s bull nose barrels & a cz varmint...

 

the rugers are a great gun when running nicely, can have trouble with the mags if not set up right & as said above, the action does need cleaning every 300/400 rounds to have a trouble free shoot..

 

now the cz is in a class of its own... bang-on accurate with eley subs & never jammed on me..

 

personally i would go for a cz varmint..

 

have you ever held the sako quad ? i have, & it feels like a cheap toy with cheap build quality.. the only benefit in owning a quad is that you can have seperate barrels, but you still have to have different slots on you ticket for each barrel, so i suspose the only benefit is you save room in your gun cabinet, dont know what the accuracy is like !

 

let us know your decision..

[stillair1 16]

Remember the sako quad now comes with a varmint barrel option.

I would go for the Sako Quad which also gives you other options for the future if you decide you wand a different calibre! .17 HMR is a good option too! (With a variation on the licence of course!!)

 

Well, I already have a .17 HMR, a CZ Varmint 16", so I wouldn't necessarily need another Barrel. But who knows.

 

If you have a variation for .22lr then you can buy either bolt. semi, straightpull,or lever action. The variation is for the calibre not the action.

 

I thought that to be the case.

I have held the Quad on a few occasions and I didn't think it was that bad. I have never owned a Synthetic stocked gun but I quite liked the Sako must admit. I have a CZ with a wooden stock and the stock is first class, trigger was crap without the Brookes Kit, but it is a nice rifle. I just fancied something different.

Thats good to know, I have only handled the normal ones so far, I'll keep my eye out, thanks.

 

Well, I have been well and truly put off the Ruger now

 

Looks like it will be another Bolt Action entering the gun cabinet.

 

I'll just keep on looking for and handling some .22's I am warming very much to the Quad, but apart from the CZ, Are there any others that anyone would wholly recommend?

 

Many Thanks

The annie 64 XIV is an excellent package and has the best trigger of them all.

I own a sako quad in .17hmr and its a brilliant bit of kit,hasn't failed me,super accurate,lightweight,nice stock,brilliant action on the bolt +thee scope can be lowered as close to the barrel as possible without the bolt hitting it.GO FOR ONE

if money isnt a problem then get the thumbhole stock annie 1417 22lr it has lovely 14inch heavy barrel and the stock fits like a dream to. it has the best blot and trigger going i would say. i think the trigger on the 22lr is 2 stage.

 

but the ones on the hmr is single stage that is the one i have and that can be adjusted to which i have done. its the best trigger ive ever used

If you have a variation for .22lr then you can buy either bolt. semi, straightpull,or lever action. The variation is for the calibre not the action.

The sako will be a quality item out of the box, the 10/22 may or may not take a serious amount of work to get it to do what you want. Bearing in mind a fully sorted custom 10/22 could cost in excess of £800 and all you may have left of the existing rifle is the mag.

 

sako/10/22

 

 

 

i was goin to buy a ruger semi auto when i first got my ticket and the FAO said we wont give you it (i had a bit of trouble gettin my certificates) but when i did i was under the impression that i couldnt get a semi auto because of the way he put it across, gutted might put in for a variation then once the move is sorted still keep my bolt action .22 aswell.

 

 

As has been said, it is the calibre and NOT the action.... if you are granted approval to acquire a .22LR you can buy whatever is legally available in the UK, unless of course a condition has been added to the contrary....(VERY rare)!!

We all have an opinion of course and I am not the biggest Quad fan in the world, Much prefered the old Finnfire, but I struggle to understand that one, the Synthetic is probably the "cheapest" feel, but I still don't see it feels like a cheap toy with cheap build quality.. But I would like to see a decent "rubber" Butt pad rather than this plastic thing they fit!! (yes..I know it is only a rimmy but I still prefer them!!)

 

Also note... they are about to introduce a new wooden stock for the quad based on the Finnfire!!

Great....But I'm not sure if that is actually the NEW wooden stock, The man from Sako on the GMK stand at the Game Fair told me the new "finnfire" style stock would be available in the UK in ...."a few months"...

 

Have you got a link, or tell me which ones you are looking at, and I'll go have a look myself an see if it reminds me of the Finnfire, Cheers !!

The trigger on the .22lr is two stage Jamie. Agreed on the stock front the thumhole version is more of a full size fit.

These came out later on in production, though custom thole stocks are available at a price.

when i say cheap toy quality, its when you tap on the side of the butt, its hollow as you like & seems very thrown together, its the same to me as the cz sillouettes stock, cheap & nasty, now if they were to put a hogue stock on it, in my opinion it would be much better with a more better feel to it..

 

i suspose its individual taste, what one person likes, another might dislike...

Whatever you like isn't it really, but the Silhouette/Style stock (both the same) is totally different, feel, look, consistancy to the Sako quad stock (and action) which bears more than a passing similarity to the Tikka T3 Lite....strange that

 

I only have experience of the Hogue stocks on the Howa and Remington centrefires (basically the same stock)...got to admit it's far too flexible for me and strangeley, I would have said that seems "Cheap"!.....just like you say.....i suspose its individual taste, what one person likes, another might dislike...

My cheap, nasty, tacky, crappy complete shit SAKO Quad .22lr will group slightly under half inch at 50 yards and slightly under an inch at 100 using Eley subs. And I'm no great shot.

 

Definately one to avoid

 

One thing I should have mentioned earlier is over on Arigun BBS bladiedave is your man for tricked out 10/22's Proper ones that can shoot I mean

 

And another thing... SS you can try my Quad when you're over if you've not had the chance to test one out by then

Go on John...you tell them!!!!
