Best 22 LR

[Rapier]

Contender,
What? Who said you never clean a 22 rifle......?

I second what Rocky said, but I like the 510, 511, 512 and 513 guns. These are the actions with the double pinned barrels. Shot a few monthly SB silhouette matches with mine. Always the same thing, drag out the 512, snickers from the fancy gun crowd. Never saw a Mauser, Kimber, CZ or a big A gun walk off with anything, but tears. The only time I had trouble was when a fella in a wheel chair showed up with his 541s. We were always 1 critter apart and traded trophies on a regular basis. We became good friends. We both got a kick out of the $1,000 gun crowd walking back to their cars crying.

You want a good 22 rifle, go find an old Remington 500 series gun, a sporting gun, with a good barrel, you will be astounded at what they will put in the shade.

You might want to skip over the 514 and the 500X series, they were not built with the same quality.
