Most accurate 22LR you know off???
 

I was on the small game forum and this guy on there was posting pic of squirrels he head shot... I just thought that was awsome:DAnyhow I like to squirrel hunt... I want a good accurate 22LR... Anyhow he was using a Marlin M39A lever action... Man that gun is like 500.00:(I would prob go as high as 500.00 bucks but if I do I'm thinking bolt action...

So can anybody recommend a good accurate 22 for under $500.00???

I just happened to notice browning has a 22LR called a T-Bolt... Looks pretty nice... Has a pretty nice price also...

Does anybody have any expierience with the Browning T-Bolt???

I don't have one, nor have I shot one (disclaimer;)), but if it were me I'd take a strong look at the Browning T-Bolt .22. It's a very nice looking and seemingly well made rifle (as it should be, it's a Browning), and I personally really like a straight-pull bolt. I have an old stock Ruger 10/22 carbine that shoots about 1.5" at 50 yards which it's that great, but I've personally witnessed 10/22's with the straight bull barrels and match chambers shoot ragged hole groups at 50 yards, and the rifle/barrel cost well under $500.

Yeah, MSRP is $647 for the T-Bolt Target/Varmint model and $623 for the base model. The street price would probably be 10-15% less. I'd go with the higher end version as it's got a lot more features for $24 more. Much nicer wood and bluing, heavy, free floated bbl, semi-match chamber, etc...




Sweet looking rifle.

See if you can pick up a used Remington 541-T or 541-S....

I bought mine 8-10 years ago, with CCI Hollow points, it will group inside 1/2 inch at 50 yards.

I might just get me one of those!!! Man that gun looks nice... I have 2 brownings that shot!!!

RE: Most accurate 22LR you know off???

If you just want an accurate .22 to do headshots on squirrels there is a a whole lot topick from. Ahenry lever rifleis more than accurate enough to dispatch squirrels and it is only $200 or so. Sure you can get more accurate rifles but if all your going to be doing is shooting offhand in the field than you cannot really expect anymore accuracy than the henry or any other low cost .22 can give you. If you are talking about target shooting or those black death targets, its another matter entirely, but headshots on squirrels is very doable under 30 yds with any decent .22 and some practice and still doable at under 50 yds with any decent .22 and a good scope.( this is for someone like me who thinks about shooting alot more than I actually get a chance to)hope it helps.

10/22 ruger! it is cheap, so u can afford a good scope! with that you cant miss! thats what i use for squirell, so far only missed 2 and one of those still hit him in the neck. great gun, especially for the price!
