I have Ruger 10/22 I got 6 years ago and rarely miss my target.
Ruger 10/22 are great guns for a good price. There are a ton of after market parts for them as well so you can make them as accurate as you can afford.
Savage makes a cheap target rifle for around $300 can't remember the model #.
CZ's are also great for accuracy.
10/22's are ok, not the most accurate but if your just plinking or shooting varmints and such that's a great choice
My younger cousin has a ruger 10/22 and its a sweet shootin little gun
Either the Ruger 10/22 or a Savage for that price range.
marlin.
ruger 10/22 or a henry
Go check out your local pawn shop,after you compare prices.
You will be surprised ...
I just have to say one thing .22s rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I love mine.
You're price range is right in the range of Ruger 10/22, which I would highly recommend. You can get just about any type of add-on for that model, especially the bull barrel which will add to your accuracy significantly.
glenfield/marlin semi-auto tube feed,i have one but in the gun safe,dont know model# and dont care to get it out and look but very good gun.
I saw a very nice .22 in Gander Mountain yesterday with a heavy barrel and wooden thumbhole stock. I think it was a Savage with the accu-trigger. Looked accurate.
I love my Ruger10/22 with a "Green Mtn". Heavy barrel, does everything I ask and more.
The Savage Mk. II target rifles are very accurate, they have the accu-trigger, and you can have one for around $250. I think the one buckhunter mentioned is the BTV or BTVS, awesome gun, but a little over your stated price range. The non-thumbhole BV is laminated with a heavy barrel as well, and under $350. That's what I would recommend. Winchester Wildcat sporter and target are worth a look too, have only shot the sporter, sure the target is even more accurate.
I have a Remington Model 597 and i love it. It's light and accurate, and only costs 150-180 bucks.
for the price anything marlin makes is very accurate. especially their bolt action rifles
but the most accurate 22 i have ever owned or seen was a newenglad firearms youth rifle... it shoots bullet holes at fifty yard.
i once owned a ruger 10 22 and mine was junk. it fed good and never jammed but was very inaccurate.
i hear some shoot good and others dont.. like most ruger rifles
Have had several Marlin Model 60's, stock they out shoot my ruger 10-22, with heave barrel and target stock and gunsmithed trigger. My next will be a Savage Mark II FV. This is susposed to be the best now, but costs twic what the Marlin 60 does.
My choice is the Marlin Model 981T(S/L/LR Tube fed bolt,22"barrel,bedded polycarbonate stock)...Eats 10/22's,Savages,and Remmy's all around...The only problem is the trigger pull(could be lighter).But still 120yds(360 ft) 1 ragged hole...Buy One
Agreed with BigBboy25 and + 1 for you sir!!!
