Volquartsen!

I voted Marlin. They're accurate andoperate reliably.

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

Best? For What?
Cooper.
For a kid? no. Then I would go with a 10/22 loaded one shell at a time.

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

Can't answer a simple "best for?" without know what it's "best for" entails. Range plinking, hunting, target, competitive shooting?

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

I have to agree with Maine Shooter as without knowing what you are being the best at it is difficult to say the least.. Although I choose other in relation to growing up I used a Springfield that taught me how to shoot. It was a single shot bolt action with a part on the bolt you had to pull back in order to shoot. Shooting one shot at a time you learned how to make it count.

Anschutz

My Marlin 60 is still running like a top. Dad got it for me when I was just a baby. Been shooting it for darn near 20 years. They're a little different now. The front sight is hooded, the bolt handle is rolled steel instead of forged, etc. Still good guns.

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

Not a good question! Too many variables. The Sako TRG 22 is the best production 22. But who wants to spend $2500 for hunting or plinking. So to answer the original question, the Sako TRG 22. Best reasonably priced plinking or hunting rifle for me is the Ruger 10/22. Best hang in your truck window rifle is the marlin 60.

Browning Buckmark for my purposeshehe

I'm a big 10/22 fan, though.

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

No doubt about it Kimber of Oregon Model 82 or a Cooper. Anschutz is right behind. I would consider the Anschutz an equal if it was American made. Tom.

Anschutz probably makes the most accurate OTC 22's, they have plenty of Olympic gold medals to prove it. Another great thing is that they make a good variety of them. Fit and finish are superb and they make some of the best trigger mechanisms there are period. I have a couple of 17 HMR's from them and have no complaints.:D

Cooper, Dakota and Kimber all make great rimfires also but personally I think they are behind Anschutz in the target/accuracy dept. When it comes to gracefull lines, stock work etc onRF sporters,Cooper and Dakota cant be beat.

With all that said, these all come with a much higher price than the Savage,CZ,Marlin,Rugers .It really comes down what you personally value and want to spend in a product to say what is best.

ruger 10/22, a classic that lives on

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

I like my CZ 452 Lux. Haven't shot a lot of others though.

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

My kimber is best for ME for most uses.

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

I will stick with my old Cooey. It is a true tack puncher.

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

I personally prefer the Ruger 10/22, but my father-in-law has a Marlin that is more accurate.

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

The best is not on your list IMO...

I say Kimber. But many would argue Cooper and most high end shooters may argue Anschutz..
These three really should have been on the list.
Winchester model 52 also a great choice, although older.

I have a new Kimber K/22 classicwith talley's and a leupold. With Eley ammo it shoots a ragged hole at 50. This is my choice but not the best choice for all..

If looking for a good fun gun I say the Ruger 10/22, all around on of the most popular ever.

RE: What .22 is the best?
 

I like them accurate, and i like then "less" than full sized... I hate a beached whale, (Ruger) or a tank, (Cooper/Win 52 ect..)

So, i choose Anschutz... BUT, years ago i would have chose a Remington 541-S

I looked at a new Browning T-bolt the other day... it was nice, i liked it, but i don't know how accurate it would be..
