.22 Bolt Action Rifle

[Tom Garrett]

It's really hard to beat the old single shots. Remington, Winchester, mossberg, they all made guns that were inexpensive (at the time) but were outstanding performers. Old walnut, good bluing and quality you can feel. I've got a couple, haven't ever shot them, but those I have are real keepers. Always keep my eye out for one at a gun show.

Here's a couple more that I own. Remington 510A Targetmaster single shot. My Dad bought this gun for $8 in the 40s. All my brothers and I grew up shooting this gun. I might be the only one to ever clean it.
The second one is a Remington 541X US Government trainer. I refinished the stock, put new Williams peep sights, and found an adjustable trigger for it. I have shot several one hole targets with it.

I like the older guns better than the new ones. I have a couple of Remington 513T (1952 & 1958) rifles that shoot much better groups than any of my newer CZs, Marlins or Rugers. The best thing is they both shoot the best with CCI SV ammo. I have tested over 25 different 22 LR ammo in them and that is what they like the best.

Went to buy a Remington but they were not in stock so I settled on a Sako and later bought a second one. Happy about the Sako's.

My only bolt action .22RF rifle now is a Yonkers Kimber 22 Classic.
Bought at the turn of the century so it's 25 years old now. It is the most accurate sporter weight 22Ir have owned.
I have had Anschutz and Walther completion rifles that might have been more accurate every time, but they were heavy barreled position and silhouette rifles.
My Kimber has won sporter class Sillouette matches, killed small game and just had fun plinking at the range or in the woods.
Can't ask more than that from any .22rf rifle no matter what the action I think.

My favorite 22 bolt action rifle is the CZ452 LUX. I have both the 22lr and 22 magnum.
They are accurate to extreme with iron sights and looks great.
The 22 magnum version has harvested many meat hogs for our BBQ.

I have a rifle affliction which is bad but not as bad as the SXS shotgun disease. I like nice rifles and custom ones to boot. A while ago I was looking for a suitable action to have my dream 22 built. I wasn't to eager to pay collector prices for a Winchester 52 but found a Cooper Western Classic that filled the need (Ok it was a want not a need). Well what's a 22LR with out a 17HMR to complement it so I found another Cooper this one a Custom Classic then another Custom Classic came along in 22 mag. Now I have the perfect tri fecta of tree rat rifles. BUT a Kimber varmint with a fluted stainless barrel is tugging at my checkbook.
A good day at the range includes a 22 rifle and a K22.

A little different but both are CZ457 receivers with Lilja barrels and 36X scopes. We shoot tiny 1/4" targets at 50 yards with these. They both shoot very well.

I only have two 22 bolt actions. I've thought many times about a Ruger American with a threaded barrel, but I kinda enjoy my Marlin 39A better than the bolts.
