Default .22 choices

I am about to buy a .22 in the next two weeks. What do yall shoot and how do you like it. I am thinking of a ruger 10/22 with a BSA sweet 22 scope. Anyone have any advice on this gun or scope or prefer others. Also, which ammo do yall usually prefer to run through the .22's. Thanks

Cheap and accurate go for the Marlin Model 60. With iron sights I'll outshoot my brothers 10/22 with a 3x9x40 all day long. That MigroGroove barrel is amazingly accurate. I only run CCI ammo through it and never had a FTF or FTE. You can get on opticsplanet.net and find a decent scope for a decent price.

x2 on the Marlin model 60. Much more accurate than my 10/22. I have the BSA 3x9x40IR on it and shoot remington yellow jackets and its a tack driver

I owned a 10/22 once and was not happy with the accuracy. The two 22LR's I've owned with impressive accuracy are a Thompson Center Contender Carbine in 22 LR and an Izhmash Biathalon Basic 7-2.

If you want absolute precision go with either a CZ or Anschutz.

I'm with you MathGeek, I have the Thompson Center Contender in 22lr, 22 Mag, 223 and 7-TCU. I have never shot anything more accurate.

10/22 for the snakes, head shots all day long out to 25 yds off hand. Use savage h/b 17 hmr for the tack drive'n.

for options, you cant beat the 10/22. i customized a 10/22 with a 2.5lb trigger kit, recoil reducer, target barrel, and a leupold 2x7.

it will put 10 rounds of target ammo in a dime sized group at 50 yds.
