Semi-auto .22 rifle recommendations

[Sigarms]

But, I have to say, some of the most fun plinking I have had was with a single shot 22. 2nd to that is a friends little Rossi pump 22. Every time those come out, I set my 10/22 to the side...

Likewise, one of my most favorite .22's to plink with is my Winchester Model 60A. Surpisingly accuracte considering it's age, added the fact for some reason I tend to shoot better when I know I only have one shot.

Have a 10/22 as well, but usually it's that 60A that gets pulled out.

Good Evenin Dennis,
The laminated stocks are made in Rutland, Vt, and you can get whatever color combo that fits your fancy...

The gun has the bull barrel for bit better accuracy, we sent the trigger assembly out to get the trigger pull down to 2 1/2 lbs

Added a custom recoil pad on the stock and a variable 3 x 9 scope and you end up with a gun thats tons of fun to shoot and plink with...

All said and done we are up to the plus side of $750 put its only money ! :laughing:

And of course you end up with a pretty sharp lookin gun !

"plinking" for me means one thing...22 shorts (especially HP's)

I have a Winchester model 1898 w/ octagon barrel chambered for shorts only...this is commonly known as a "gallery gun" as it was a common rifle used for carnival shooting galleries...

My grandfather won this rifle on a .25｢ punchboard during the depression...
This rifle is amazingly accurate

I LOVE that stock, very nice looking. I would like to have one like that on my old 10-22. though when I fell on mine in the creek I would probably busted it up lol... I put some nice nicks in the walnut stock on mine when I did.

Another 2 cents...

I have had a 10/22 for a long time. It is nice. Basically stock.

I have found, that overall, Ruger triggers are medicocre at thier very best. Only Ruger triggers I have found acceptable out of the box is my Dad's early 1960's Single Six, and a friends newer M77 bolt rifle.

First thing for a Ruger is a new trigger, or a trip to a gunsmith to have the trigger worked over.

The 10/22 is nice otherwise, but I find the straight stock makes seeing the stock sights a pain. Part of this is my glasses, I know. I recently put a set of Williams peep sights on my 10/22. MUCH NICER! One, I like peep sights. Second though, they sit up higher and are easier for me to see.

I could(have in the past) mounted a scope. I just like to plink with irons sights though. Any of the 22 rifles are accurate enough with scopes, it kind of takes the fun out of plinking.

Every time me and my buddy Timmy go shooting, I put the 10/22 down and shoot his Rossi gallery pump 22. It is like the 1900's Winchester gallery guns. It is WAY more fun to plink with than the 10/22. It is accurate out of the box, and has a nice trigger out of the box.

I wish I had one of the 1940's Winchester or Marlin heavy barrel target 22's, with a Lyman or Unertl scope on top. Those could put the bullet thru the same hole every shot. They were nice with peep sights too.

W/ the bull barrel and reworked trigger it it must be real accurate.
Enjoy!

Hey, I've been to Rutland! 12 years ago though... touring from New Milford Ct, up to Woodstock Vt.

With the options for aftermarket trigger, why did you stay with and work over the factory trigger?

$750 for the rifle, or just for the scope? What scope did you pick?
