Hi,
What .22 rimfires are currently on the market that are squirrel-in-the-eye accurate? I've been shooting a 10-22 with replacement trigger for several years that puts three in an inch dot at 30 yards each September when I check it's zero. I need something that is at least that accurate and is in any action other than semi-auto. Also, I can't shell out the cash for a Kimber and prefer not to lug around a buick.
Any guidance?
Thanks,
Late.runner

I have a new savage bolt action that I'm falling in love with. There are several configurations of the Mark II's to suit your fancy. NEF/H&R have some very inexpensive little single-shots that are very accurate. I had one in .22mag with a black synthetic stock. It was capable of jaw-dropping accuracy considering its $100 price tag. The only reason I got rid of it was due to the cost of the .22mag shells. They also have it in .22LR and the .17's

last time i had my marlin 982vs 22 mag out i was managing to break charcoal clumps roughly 90% of the time at 275-290 yards. if thats not accurate enough for you then i think your stuck with buying a custom built rifle or a high end euro .22 of some sort. i know marlin doesnt have the same reputation as savage or cz and they definitely dont have triggers anywhere near as good as the accutrigger but i have complete confidence in my .22 as being my go to crow rifle and long range rabit rifle.

I do shoot a 541 T (much more than any other firearm that I own). They are getting hard to find in really good shape and expensive. The 541 is a beauty and can be amazingly accurate with the right ammo. I think you can pick up a new CZ for about half of the asking prices that I have been seeing for the last couple of years for a good 541.
