    "b/a more accurate "

    Not necessarily.

    Of about 100 sporter 22s I've tested off the bench firing four consecutive groups at 50m, to my huge surprise the most accurate standard barrel 22s are two Marlin 60 semiautomatics. One averaged 0.29" over four 5 shot groups, and the other averaged 0.39". With hunting ammos. A 1997 60DL and a 2011 60DLX with microgroove barrels. R93 on the Coast tells me he now has that 2011 60DLX and has won alot of comps with it. Not surprised -little precision shooters. Most of the Marlin semis - have had about 7-8 different model types - will drop under 0.5" at 50m at best with favoured ammos.

    A bolt was best at 100m with a Norinco EM332 averaging 0.6" over four groups at 100m.

    The rifle is an original Bunny Buster from Christian in Nelson. It's bedded into a Boyds Evolution SS stock, which is a little short for me. The stock is laminated & plenty strong enough. I think the barrel is 12 inches + suppressor in a carbon sleeve. Christian told me he made them from Truflite barrels with a tight chamber. You have to keep it clean or the ejector doesn't always pull an unfired round from the chamber. the trigger has had some work & is reasonably light, but with a little creep. Those would have been shot at between 50-100 yards.
    Used to use Winchester 40 subs but have found he CCI is more accurate in it.
    It's a cool little rifle, great for possums & the boys enjoy shooting steel spinners with it.

    How did they compare with an Annie 54 ??

    After reading some of the guys long range rimfire exploits, I decided to put this together...

    Ruger rimfire target .22lr
    Tac vector 5-25
    Burris 20moa offset rings
    Hardy suppressor

    It seems to like CCI subs

    I had to zero at 65m as the scope bottomed out but that does give me the full elevation allowing me to get out to 290m.
    Only victim so far was a magpie at 152m.

    Hey @Gerbs its actually been quite nice for a relatively cheap scope. Ive had it on my lightweight carbon 300wsm for last couple years and its held up fine. Always held zero and dialled reliably.
    Only negatives i can think of is the reticle is calibrated to 10x, optical clarity at 25x is a bit fuzzy but still usable and personally i wouldve preferred 50mm objective instead of 56mm.
    Also they say they have 17mils of adjustment but this particular one only has 14

    Lithgow LA101 + VX-5HD.
    Awesome rifle although a bit heavy (so it's a neverending search for a comfy sling and backpack mount)
    Works great with cheap Federal Champion 36grn bulk ammo.

    that M1 archer ok for bunnies @Seventenths ? Trying to decide if I will be ok with a wide beam M1 or do I need to cough some money up for something bigger.

    M1 is perfect!

    There small, lightweight, well built & throw out a whopping amount of light!

    Battery life was sweet, it lasted me a good 3 hours before going flat but it wasn’t on the whole time, turn on scan, shoot, turn off... walk a bit, repeat & you can change the power setting to suit!

    My other two bunny shooters.

    Ruger 10/22 which I had a bit of work done through "gundoc" who lightened the trigger and sorted out the jamming issue though as long as it's cleaned with a bit of lube it runs well.

    I topped off the rifle with a Vector Optics scope which are great wee scopes and excellent value for money and I also swapped out the crappy plastic stock for a Magpul stock, they look weird but when you use one they feel great and in a couple of minutes I can shorten the length of pull for the kids!

    The other rifle I have is a CZ 452 .22 LR which I bought a few years back as I always wanted a quality bolt action .22 and this one was stunning with its stock just sitting on the rack so home it came.







    I put a little bit of "bling" on the CZ.
