hey everyone, i'm looking at getting a new 22mag in bolt or semiauto. can anyone give any suggestions as to brand/model for both? looking for reliability and accuracy, using it for squirrles and general pinkling and want something a bit harder hitting then just a 22lr. any opinions welcome
I had one years ago. It was a Mossberg 640 K Chuckster. I sold it to my Father in Law and after he passed away, it got lost in the shuffle. I always missed that rifle and a couple weeks ago I was in a gun shop and there set one just like my old one. I grabbed it quick. I don't know what all is available any more in 22 Mag but I think Marlin and Savage make them as does Henery. Ruger might still make one as well. Good luck, they are a dandy rifle when you need just a bit more whack than a 22 LR.
I have a Rem. 597M, and it's been a very good reliable semi auto that is quite accurate... I've had it several years now, and if needed i'd but another as i really like this one...
I was just down at the local gun shop here in PA and there are 2 identical Marlins in 22 WMR on the used rack. One with a scope and the other bare. Both are stainless with laminated stocks. Makes me wonder why? Didn't they shoot? Other issues? Who knows.
