northdude The only 22 I've ever cleaned was his rifle (and my old 10/22) when I bought them to get them ready to shoot for the first time :)

I sent the little Savage back to Wilsons in Whanganui as about 2 or 3 rounds from each 10 were failing to eject. A bit of internet research showed it to be a reasonably common problem. Kudos to...

Finnwolf That's great! The little Savage only cost $359 :)

I'm happy with the accuracy so far with CCI 40gr subs. At 25m and a 25mm orange dot

Here's the new bunny rig. a Savage MKII .22LR, Nikko Stirling Panamax 3-9x40 ao ir scope (got it new from Wilsons in Whanganui for $179!) and a DPT suppressor. Haven't put any rounds through it yet...

Another question..... I'm totally confused as to which brand of suppressor to get for the Savage MkII? Any recommendations? Thanks

GravelBen Yeah i thought it was too good to turn down. Most of the used rifles on TM were about the same price or sometimes more than new price! Then there was the hassle of getting them here.....

mudgripz There are a lot "better" .22s out there than the MkII but I just wanted a cheap plinker for rabbits and spotlighting. I hardly ever shoot a rabbit beyond about 50m as I'm usually going for...

I'm not rubbishing the Norinco's, but I'm no DIY rifle handyman :) And knowing me; would probably balls up a re-crowning etc!

The cheapest Norinco I could find was $299 online, and $349 in-store....

outlander Always been a clumsy bugger! :D

Well I ended up buying a new Savage MkII from Wilson's in Wanganui. It only cost $359 so cheaper than most of the used ones on TM. I can't pick it up for 3-weeks-ish as I broke my ankle (plate and...

I found a new Savage MkII for $349 so will probably grab that next week on pay day.... Everything I've read about them seems to be exactly what I'm after. Good basic, reliable, accurate shooter....

There's one on Trademe; but it's $700!

My first .22 was a Stirling! :)

gadgetman Thanks; I always seem to come back to the Marlin XT-22... I have considered the Savage B22 package. It is dearer but actually comes with a decent Bushnell or Weaver scope

gonetropo That's what I'm afraid of.....

Oh; I had looked at this deal as it seems the wood stocked Norincos are the best. /but is it still a crap shoot whether it's a good one?
...

A simple question..... What is the best value, accurate "budget knock about" .22r bolt-action besides the Nrinco JW15? I'm looking for a bolt action to use for spotlighting. I have been tempted to...
