Need advice for an accurate .22
I'm thinking of doing some Bullseye shooting and want a really accurate .22 semi auto. I have a Smith 422 I haven't shot in years. Any advice for a Smith or other brand shooter? Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

The S&W model 41 and the High Standard Victor come to mind.

Check out the Sig Trailside. It's actually a Hammerli target .22 in sheeps clothing. Drop in an aftermarket trigger and you have an expensive target pistol for a not too expensive price. If you outgrow it in your Bullseye shooting, you can always rob the bank and buy a much more expensive gun. It probably won't shoot any better, but you will feel that it will.
BTW, get some Excess grips and it will feel like the more expensive Hammerli.

If you can not afford a M41 look at the M46 model which is harder to get. Its basically the same gun as a M41 but with a few less options is all. I actually shoot my M46 better then I do my M41. Slight sight difference is why. Either one would make you very Happy for sure.The M46 is weighted differently as well.

I'd look for the first Ruger Mark II on 625smith's picture. That's the 10" barrel version that was discontinued. It shoots like a rifle.

I bought one of these new in 1977 and regretfully sold it. When I got back into shooting again this is the first gun I wanted to purchase again. Easy take down, tack driver, adjustable trigger and trigger stop.
However I think you have all you need with your 41, just get it lubed up and ready to go!
Have fun......

+1 for the Colt, but finding one reasonably priced will be a challenge. They are excellent pistols though.

Lots of very good advice. Don't know how old your eyes are. But being able to easily mount a red dot scope is a big plus.
At least for me and my old eyes.
A Ruger with a Volquartsen sear is a good start. Or depending on money ,,even a Volquartsen gun.

I've seen guys with Rugers ( don't know how many mods. ) hold their own with Pardini's.

The 41's went to the Olympics for many years as well as the 46's I believe with our military teams.

I'll preface this with the "I really like Browning" disclaimer. I have more Browning pistols than anything else. For a day at the range, or plinking with the kids I'll grab a Browning. But....
I have this scoped 10" AMT Lightning which is based on the Ruger mkII. Mine came with Micro rear sight and silhouette front sight and is built to much tighter standards than any Ruger I've owned, and is a real tack driver.
Trying to replicate that in a current production pistol, I have one of the MKIII target model rugers that is half tandem kross and VQ. Replacing the entire fire control is a must if you want to keep from pulling your hair out, so figure that into the price.
But in the end it is a sweet shooter. Think I like shooting the AMT just a tad better.

Just to add another choice to the ones already discussed...I've fired a friend's Beretta Model 87 Target several times at the range; it's a quality 22lr semi-auto target pistol that's similar to the Model 41, but can usually be found used for less money.

The Browning Buckmark is hard to beat.

Back in 70s I was heavy into 22 target guns. The 41 was always
my favorite. I had a Browning Medalist that I could shoot as well.
The trouble with it was that it was strictly a range gun. They are
probably no easy to come by, haven't seen one in a while.
