Favorite .22LR Semi Auto

[Sugar Land]

I am getting ready to buy another .22LR Rifle. I have been shopping around and there are so many choices I thought I would check with you all for suggestions. What I am looking for is a semi auto, accurate, threaded barrel. Not real interested in an AR take off. My Ruger 10/22 is pretty nice but I do not want to limit myself to the Ruger brand. What's your favorite?

Dude, Chuck... Get a custom 10/22 by Kidd or Volquartsen or Clark Customs... Call it done.

Chuck knows... Friendship with me ain't easy or cheap.


Yeah, I know that's going in the out of context thread AND i'm still not editing.

Man you got that right..

 

[Tejano Scott]

Hahaha... Seriously though... You hear people knock the prices of nice customs like this, only to go out and buy something cheaper AND add a bunch of after market stuff. After they frankenGUN it all together, they save minimal to nothing. You get a Rifle from one of the 3 companies named above, you're doing nothing else to it other than adding a suppressor and optic. Buy once, cry once. Quality has a premium, sometimes its worth the extra money and sometimes its not. These companies make some of the ABSOLUTE BEST 22s money can buy.

DISCLAIMER: I wouldn't give this advice to everyone, but Chuck shoots more than enough to justify paying these premium prices. If you're just an occasional/3 times a year to the gun range sorta guy, then a stock 10/22 and low budget optic would do you just fine. Chuck, you shoot enough that you will eventually out shoot and be limited by the gear you have. Thank me later when you're crushing dimes at 75-100 yards.

I agree with the above. You cant go wrong with any of those three. I would add one more:

Thats a good point. Sometime we can sit down and discuss configurations.

I shot a Volquartsen a few years ago and it was a gorgeous gun. I'd love to get one myself someday. Right now I own a stock 10/22 carbine and a Remington 597. The Remington is more accurate and could be even more so if I went to the trouble to change out some parts but its cheap fun with a Bushnell optic and bipod.

I still like my old Ruger 10/22.

I'd consider the Marlin Model 60. New they run about a hundred and a half......used in good shape can be had for 80-100. I've picked up three in that price range in the last three months for my son, my son-in-law and his dad. All were under $100. It's hard to find anything more accurate for less than four times the price.

Only problem I have the with high dollar custom guns is I like to build not buy. Ive been that way with my vehicles and it looks like Im headed that way with my guns. Maybe its because Im poor so I like to be able to savor each mod and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing I directly made the results happen with my own hands. My old ruger 10/22 will be getting some goodies here soon along the same lines as what you guys are wanting to do.

 

[Tejano Scott]

I hear what you guys are saying... But as AaronP200 and Chuck can attest, it's probably a good idea that I don't build anything. LOL.

Too funny Scott. I have been shooting the Ruger 10/22 for a long time. Don't get me wrong I am pretty good with it but it is stock and I feel like I am at the limitations of the gun. I figured I would step it up a notch or two on the second one and really see if it is me or the gun.

 

[Tejano Scott]

I feel like I am at the limitations of the gun.

That's why I am recommending you a high end custom. You shoot so often (and strive to improve) that I believe you'll hit the limitations on a lot of stock guns.

I just picked up my first 10/22. It is a Tactical Solutions X-Ring. It is quite awesome. I really like the fact it has an integral picatinny rail. 10/22 scope mounts can tend to suck really bad.

You can never go wrong with any of the others that were mentioned either. Clarks is up in Shreveport so close by.
