Thread: A big boys rimfire

Easily available physically but maybe not financially - this is my wishlist: https://www.guncity.com/22sako-p94s-...hreaded-406765

That's a nice looking rifle!

If I was looking for another 22, Id be holding out for a BRNO model 1 or 5. They come up occasionally.

I'm not a massive Tikka fan but the T1X Hunter with the flush mag is a very pretty rifle, expensive for a .22 but i wouldn't mind one!

I will put in a great 22 for the older Remington 541S they are a very nice .22 - come up every now and then- and the pump remingtons same era just work may require some work to put a can on though - most shot very well

Sako have made some nice .22Lr's. The M78 and P94 pictured above are nice all metal and timber rifles. The later models (post 94 Quad and Finnfire) have a bit of polymer in them but are still high quality and shoot well.
The Lithgow 101's shoot well, but are a heavier cross over range and field designs.
Look out for rimfires from Cooper and Kimber.

Rimfirecentral is a good forum for this discussion topic.
CZ and Brno are Ok but boring.

The CZ 457 is also available in man size configuations but can be a bit of a barrel lottery.

I have no experience with the 77/22 but I have a 77/17 varmint which is very accurate, under 0.75" 10 shot 100yd groups on a calm day, about on par with my Anschutz 1517.

I do like my Norinco EM-332... good heft and proportions, although a bit scarce on the used market these days.

I'm probably going to move my 10/22 custom competition on. Pretty cool little rifle i just never use it. Open to swaps for something fun

Anschutz 1422

Kimber

if you can find one

Found one



Had another one a few years ago, now only sold it to help finance a Barrett M107-A1

I have a Mauser M201, worth buying if you can find one. Had an anschutz 1517 which had to go back for a visit due to accuracy issues. It was sorted and shot very well but its a small rifle, too small for my liking.I sold it for a Weihrauch which is a better rifle all round, better trigger, better action and better precision . Its a full sized rifle with a heavy barrel . I'm now using a steyr zephyr II which is also full sized but lighter. I like the stock on the steyr and the weight and balance but the engineering is better on the Weihrauch at every point.
If i was to buy another it would be this one.

The 77/22's are nice

I just bought a Weirauch HW66. I'm loving it so far, a little heavy but not too bad.
The CZ 457 Americans are nice and light but the weirauch hog back stock feels nicer to shoot with
