For true accuracy i found a heavy target rifle to be the best but only when shooting competition. They are too cumbersome to be enjoyable in other situations. Having owned several bolt action .22s and a number of semi-autos I find the 15-22 to be more accurate than most.

With a low cost 4x scope, I have no problem dispatching a tasty furry tailed rodent at 100 yards. In fact according to my range finder one shot this week was 110 yards.

When you add to that the fun factor of the 15-22, the accuracy, and the light weight this weapon is a package that is hard to beat. With the exception of a few handguns, it is about the only thing I felt like shooting for the past few months.
