What .22 rimfire ?

[mike white 1]

i go out to 90/100 yards max using eley subs, ive found them to be the most accurate... others may think the same.

 

Plenty of distance then , what range do you zero in at ?

[richie 1]

60 yards...

 

i just checked out the gun trader, 21 varmints up for sale, prices vary ! looks like a few companies havent put the new prices up yet.

hiya bud,the main difference is the weight,the varmint is a lot heavier,espcially if you do a lot of walking about

i have the cz 452 style,and a brno mod 2e,and they are as acurate as anything you can put a bullet through,

win subs or eley,no probs,and with a sak on the end silent as it gets,so bolt action gets my vote,atb,ian

[mike white 1]

Yeh would defintley have to be a bolt action and it seems the cz is a very popular rifle ,i think what id have to do is go to a dealer and hold them all myself and see what suits me the best as i would be walking alot i dont want it to be to heavy and silence is a must to.

That could be a problem as i only have about £150 to £200 i have a scope so just gun and moderator really .

How about buying used......

 

 

A ruger 10/22 for example all you would be buying the gun for is the receiver; because even if you bought a new gun like i did you would probably strip everything out and replace it with custom parts just to personalise/improve the gun to your liking when you have the budget available.

Go for a ruger Fantastic guns 10/22 all day long....Light,Reliable,goodlooking and smash the f**k out of rabbit's.I shot off 10 rounds in under 3 seconds without a jam can a cz owner say the same??? I am not saying the 10/22 doesn't jam but what i am saying is it won't jam if you look after it and use the right ammo ELEY SUBS for me.

i use both a cz452 & i have a 10/22T, but there's no need to shoot off ten shots when your in the field, 9 times out of 10 after the 2nd shot everything would of cleared off..

 

i also clean my ruger thoroughly after every 200 shots to prevent it from jammimg & i never have a problem with it when its clean, but the rifle of choice when bunny bashing is the cz..

 

also if you want a half decent ruger you have to spend a few more quid to get it up the scratch...

 

my two 10/22T`s, but still prefer the cz

Why would you ever need to fire 10 rounds in under 3 seconds?

 

And your last sentence MG is a bit of a contradiction, 'it won't jam' sounds a lot like 'the 10/22 doesn't jam'. I think all will agree that even with regular cleaning the 10/22 will still occasionally jam, especially with subs. In my experience at the most inopportune moment.

 

You've only had yours for a few days, your comments are very definite considering your limited experience with that particular gun. Not having a pop, just trying to get a sense of perspective for Mike.

 

It really depends on what you want the gun for anyway Mike. The 10/22 is probably more fun when it comes to shooting coke cans and general blattage, granted.

 

For pest control, my preference based on experience with both is for the CZ, based on reliability and accuracy. Just and opinion though.

 

Hope this helps you.

Hi guys thanks for comments a few mixed reviews here , steve i would be using the gun for rabbits mate so would defintley want something with good accuracy.

 

mike.

i have 2 CZ 452's. one varmint in .17 hmr and one silhouette in .22lr. they are both very accurate. i would highly recomend ether varity to you.

 

i do however prefer the walnut stock of the varmint to the synthetic one of the silhouette. the sythetic stock is not the best quality but it is light and does the job it needs to. if you want a walnut stock then the choice is between the american and the varmint, the heavy barrel on the varmint adds about a pound extra weight to the rifle so if your going to be walking great distances then the american might be a better choice. the heavy barrel is however fully free floating which improves accuracy and will not heat up as fast. this however is not a problem the .22lr as it's hardly a hot round.

 

i'd recomend going to a gun shop and having a feel of the different models, see which one you like then try and find a cheep second hand one.

Only at a target to see what the recoil was like also to see if the gun can actually handle the pressure.

Go on then, I'll have tupence worth;

 

In general, semi auto's are noisier, less accurate, and less reliable than bolt actions, but yes they are "faster"

The Ruger 10/22 is good value, customisable and fun to shoot, and probably as good as any in the group.

 

Bruno/CZ are very good budget guns, accurate, reliable, but sometimes a little rough?

It you want a field gun that is presentlable and usable, look no further.

 

But if the gun is to be a "keeper", one that you will take pride in, then maybe go a little further up the price/quality scale?

Anshutz, Sako Quad, Ruger 77/22. (The latter being my gun of choice). Won't shoot anymore rabbits, they are all more accurate than you or me.

 

In order of priority;

Good shooter,

Good ammo,

Good gun.

 

Just the same as buying a car, a Fiat and a Beemer all do the same thing

Bougth a 452/2 @ auction in .22WMR...£. Just used the iron sights till 2yrs ago then stuck a chinese 6x40 something or other on it, hit everything I was AIMING at . Last night checking the zero down the club, all in 3" and 2 bulls @ 100yds. Great wee gun and I must admit quite unloved but cared for. The auctions are there and .22's cheap as chips just take someone with you if you're not confident. JMHO.

Oh yeah and CCI's 40grn. Recoil is not to be worried about.
