marlin also makes nice 22's for that price range

I picked up a savage markII .22 bolt action for 100$ at wal mart.Accurate,reliable,inexpensive.

[:@][:@] DO NOT!!! I REPEAT DO NOT buy a Rossi Matched Pair. I picked one up and regreted it greatly. I found the .22 sights are a bit wide (though a scope would fix that) and the shotgun barrel is completely unpadded on a very light brush-size shotgun. I bought the 20 ga barrel with my .22 and I was only able to shoot it less than a dozen times before I put it to bed until I could sell it. The day after I shot my shotgun, I had a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my shoulder and I don't bruise easily.

Don't make this mistake. I'd strongly recommend going with either a marlin with their micro grooves (I use a model 780 bolt) or a savage with their accu-trigger (which I hear is the best thing since smokeless powder).

i have a savage mark 11 .22 i bought 3 yrs ago for about 100 dollars it is a bolt action and comes with a 10 round clip and scope. but if you want to make it accurate you just go and buy a bsa 3-7-20. you can also buy more clips for about 16.00 i can pop small animals in the head at 100 yards

Cant get much of anything for under $150 with a scope nowdays lol
I reccomment tryin a NEF Sportster in .17 Mach 2
Ive got one and it is extremely accurate, taken tons of squirrels with it too.

I dont know about all the good brands or anything, but I get a cataloge in the mail for something called Cheap As Dirt. they have some pretty cool stuff for really really cheap. i found a .22lr in there for 99$ I think it has a 10 round clip and it might also be synthetic, not sure. but i think you can find it at www.cheapasdirt.com I've never bought any of their products so i dont know about quality though.

i have the cz 452 2e zkm lux very nice got from gander mountain. I just put a braska lit crosshair scop on it but need to get leupold see through rings at wal-mart i paid around 190 for gun and 40 for scope.

cz has some nice firearms all types i want to get a 10shot clip for my rifle but my gunsmiths are very bad with ordering and feedback to me.

I have a 597 Remmy. I have never had a problem with jamming. Maybe 4 rounds out of a brick with the lubed lead shells, maybe 3 with the coper jackets. The key is proper lubrication and keping the action clean. I shoot with iron sights on it right now, and can get bobcats out to 100 yds. I've hit them out farther than that, but I don't chase wounded cats, and they won't drop at that range.

As far as plinking is concerned, it is within 1" at 75 yds, and again, that is with iron sights. It is a great .22 for the price. I bought it over a 10/22 because it pointed better for me, and I like the grey syn stock (I know Im weird).

My advice: pick up several and point them, buy the one that is best for you. Good advice for any gun purchase.

Might wanna try a H&R or New England Arms single shot. Their prices on .22s can vary from $140 to $170. And they come with scope bases.

My NEF sportster .17 Mach 2 was a little over $180 out the door.

Marlin 925, 7shot clip....buy 2 extra clips and keep two loaded in your
pocket.
