Ruger 10-22.

For the price and the amount of trick outs available you can't beat it.

Again, Ruger 10/22. Check out the target model with 20" bull barrel available in blued
or stainless. Or, get a regular 10/22, and customize it yourself (stock, trigger, barrel, etc.). All kinds of aftermarket goodies available for the 10/22.

Another vote for the 10-22. Get one and shoot it first before you go changing barrels and triggers. Out of the box, mine is way more accurate than I'll ever be.

You can't go wrong with a Ruger 10/22. T/C puts out a "classic" that is very nice as well.

I'm certainly going to throw in a vote for the Marlin semiautos. The model 60 is the more common version, it's tube fed, which many people don't like, but it will keep up with the 10/22 in accuracy and reliability with ease. Not to mention that it only costs about $100-150 (depending on stock and finish), whereas the 10/22 usually runs $200-300.

Marlin also makes magazine fed rifles, the 795, which is basically the same as the 60 but with a detachable magazine, and the 7000, which is the same as the 795 but with a heavy bbl and a scope mount (no open sights). I've not had a 795, but I run a 7000 for rabbits and some competitions. It's every bit as accurate and reliable as my 10/22 race guns, but it only cost me $170, whereas the custom 10/22s cost about 4 times as much (although they do fire and reload faster and smoother).

I'll throw my vote in for the 10/22 as well. I got one for Christmas this year and didn't have to make any adjustments to the sights. This gun was dead on right out of the box. My wife loves this gun and is very dangerous with it. The first time she shot it she took the bulleseye right off the target.

TC Benchmark is supposed to group 1/2" at 100 yards.

RE: who sells a accurate 22 cal. auto. rifle/
 

ruger and TC make the best self loaders marlin makes a great bolt action but a horrible self loader just not designed as good as ruger, Ive run into alot of problems with a marlin model 60 and a model 795 the problems i had with both fell back onto poor design.

I'm glad none of you mentioned the Remington 597! Have I told anyone lately what a piece of crap the 597 is?!!

RE: who sells a accurate 22 cal. auto. rifle/
 

Ack, I was just going to mention it!

The 597 is pretty darn accurate right out of the box if you don't mind shooting an autoCHOKER rather than an autoCHUCKER.[:'(]

RE: who sells a accurate 22 cal. auto. rifle/
 

I have a Marlin as well and it does the job on the tree rats heads at 50 yards real well.the 10/22 is a great gun also.I can't say anything bad about Marlins.

RE: who sells a accurate 22 cal. auto. rifle/
 

hehe the 597 yea its accurate but who likes to fumble with jams after every so many shots, the only time i ever had to deal with jams in my ruger 10-22 was after putting 2 bricks through it without cleaning it or when using cheap chinese manufactured 22 ammo.

RE: who sells a accurate 22 cal. auto. rifle/
 

Same question as the post but who makes one that comes with a thumbhole stock?

RE: who sells a accurate 22 cal. auto. rifle/
 

the old remington nylons are VERY accurate and reliable. The standard 10/22 isnt very accurate, but they basically define reliable, throw in a bull barrel and WOW!! what a great gun. They also make thumbhole stocks for the 10/22.

RE: who sells a accurate 22 cal. auto. rifle/
 

Ummm... Is this a trick question... Anschutz 525 series or Volquaerston custom, it isn't in the same league as the TC/Rugers/Marlins, but there was no mention to cost, there are some other custom 10/22's out there that are shooters...

I think we would need to define accuracy and price. The 10/22's and TC's are nice guns, but when I talk "accurate" I am thinking of target accuracay, which none of those fit the bill.
