Best 22 bolt action hunting rifle ever made?
In regard to what?
Accuracy?
Construction?
Reliability?
Balance?
Wood?
Quality of materials?
Appearance of weapon?
There isn't a best anything. The variables are so great that no one thing will be everything to everyone all the time.
And that doesn’t take variables of ammunition into account.
I have an Anschutz target rifle that shoots one hole groups using Eley Club but cant hit a barn door with Remington.
I’ve seen an old Russian Vostok that had a stock like a floor board that had a barrel on it that would not have been out of place accuracy wise in an Olympic final.
There is no such thing as best ever made.
There’s a lot of very good ones though.
