Whats the Best .22 "HUNTING" rifle?
just wanted to see what you guys thought the best hunter was. because i know everyone will say that 10/22 is the best rifle, but maybe not for hunting.

My personal favorites are the Remington 552 Speedmaster...Thsi rifle will shoot Short, Longs and Long Rifle...Shorts are very effective and quiet on squirrels...Although most guys younger than 50 probably have never shot them...I bought mine in 1961, topped it with a Weaver 1.5 x 4.5 scope and have killed a barn full of squirrels with it...
My second is a more recent addition (about 10 years ago)...Remington 541-T... topped with a Leupold Compact 3x9x33...This gun shoots into a dime at 50 yards and is actually more accurate than the average hunter can hold in the squirrel woods...The nicest thing on this gun, the trigger is fully adjustable, like the 700...Its sweet...
Ditto that, with the exception of the Savage MKII.
An older remington bolt action, particularly the 541 or 581, a CZ 452, Savage MKII,or browning T-bolt would be at the top of my list. If it isn't accurate enough to make a head shot on a squirrel every time, I wouldn't use it.
