RE: most accurate factory .22
Anshuzt no if's ands or buts. It's the undesputable king of 22's when it comes to accuracy out of a factory gun. Plan to spend in the $600 dollar range for a model for hunting. But then again you're getting a gun capable of one hole groups at 50 yards anytime all day.
They dominate in serious 22 rifle competition for a reason,but the question is do you really need to spend $600 for a squirell rifle?
