.22 rifle

Looking to get Luke his own .22 rifle for squirrel hunting. He has been using mine and it is past time for his own.

Been looking online at packages. Looking for something under $250.00.

Suggestions? Maybe have a good used one for sale?

Either Marlin or Savage have some pretty good bolt action .22s for that price. CDNN has 10/22s for a good price.

A Marlin Model 60 is hard to beat for the $$.

I agree with Weedy. Marlin 60 is probably the most popular .22 on the market followed by the Ruger 10-22. Nice thing about the Ruger is there are many aftermarket parts made for the Ruger. I have a Savage Mark II bolt gun that I gave less than $200.00 for and its a tack driver with just about any ammo you shoot in it. h.h.

On the other hand...you could find that fine boy a nice CZ and be done with it!

Thanks guys. We have looked at the CZ's. Very nice guns but more than the budget allows. I may shop around and see if I can find one that is used. He also likes the Savages. MKII are nice and we are leaning that way.

His money. It is what he has saved up for.

Minus the Aimpoint of course...

Looks nice. I'm sure it shoots pretty good too!
Does it accept scopes... I assume?

Looks great, especially with wood! Hard to beat that set-up! I've never seen a Savage that wouldn't shoot accurately..

Looks like it's drilled and tapped for mounts.

I have a MK II with heavy barrel. No complaint!

Might want to get a 5 shot clip too because when you shoulder the gun the 10 shot clip will dig you in the back.......ask me how I know this

You can use the 10 for practice shooting and the 5 for hunting when you sling the gun. h.h.

All I can tell ya is that I have a ruger 10/22 rifle and so far nothing has beat it compared to the other Remington and marlin 22 rifles I have shot.

I bought a Savage Mark II years ago for $100 brand new when my local Wal Mart still sold guns. Put a 3X9 Simmons on top, and HH is right, it is a tack driver. One of my favorite rifles.

You might look @ this....

Was thinking this one LOL

http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/36_63_972/products_id/2172g I am actually gonna save my money to get this gun. It is 14/14 in reviews and can shoot 1-2 inch groups at 100 yards!

Have one and love it, $199 at Dunhams

Luke ended up getting the Savage Mark 11. Now for bases, rings and scope.

Good choice! Congrats Luke! Squirrels beware!

Congtrats on a great .22 Luke... will last ya a lifetime!

Nice gun. Treat it with respect and it will last you a life time. h.h.

Nice rifle Luke! Bet its a shooter! Every Savage rifle I own shoots very well.

Luke,

Best of luck with that new .22 rifle. I don't know you, but I'm going to offer a bit of advice.

1. Enjoy that new rifle. Be careful and have fun with it.

2. Never sell that rifle. I sold my first .22 for something "better" many years ago and I've always regretted it. There is nothing "better" than your first rifle.

Yep that's a good looking gun and you'll make many memories with it. Got my son a Savage .17 a few years back. He still loves shooting it. Congrats !

Good choice!!

Very Good looking rifle. You can't beat a bolt action Savage!!

Well it works:
