22 benchrest rifle

[Acsr]

What .22lr rifle would you buy for 100 yard benchrest? There’s a lot to choose from? Maybe my budget would be between $500 and $1000.
Thanks

Lots and lots of threads with great replies if you try a search....

Ok, I'll start the ball rolling.

100yd fun BR, serious fun BR, local club BR or full blown BR Comps.

If the latter, you need to increase your budget.

At a grand I would look for a used Anschutz Match 54, most all models will outshoot most other rifles imho.

Ah, I'm an Annie snob.

 

[Acsr]

I’d say serious local fun BR

+1 Anschutz 54. At your budget you'll need to find an earlier model.

I have this one up in the classifieds.........Just Sayin'.....................

I have one a couple of years older and it is an excellent rifle. Very nice all purpose stock and an excellent factory trigger. Hard to beat a 54 Match....!

The Bergara B14R is winning matches iat our club against AnSchultz and Vudoo. CZ is a budget friendly option. I shoot a B14R with a Triggertech trigger. I use RWS rifle match, CenterX or the recently introduced Norma Match. I’m pretty competitive with this rig. Total cost around $1300.

What scope do you use on your B14R?

Sightron target dot 8-32.

The Anschutz 54’s get high reviews.

I have a Bergara B14R I put a tuner on that has shown promise. I shoot it off a front rest and rear bag. Sightron 8-32 dot

Very nice , what tuner is on your Bergera?

It’s an ATS tuner. I got it because it screws on the threaded barrel.
I find it suboptimal because there’s no stop, if you screw it in all the way it comes apart. And there’s no “longitudinal“ scale just a scale on the circumference so it’s difficult to keep track where you started. But it works, I need to verify the tune again.

I also have a B14R. Where did you get that forearm rest attachment? I've been wanting something just like that.

and heres the bag rider, if has a very clever attachment, I did put an inch of scotch tape on each side of the rear of the pic rail to eliminate a miniscule of movement.

Thank you, I've got one of those bag riders I just needed the pic rail I guess I though it was somehow attached to the sling swivel studs.

I find the pic rail attached to the two forend screws makes a solid attachment for the bag rider and it’s a quick switch to my Atlas bipod

I picked up a used Walther KKM off the internet and added an Urban Rifleman bag rider and Weaver T-36 scope. I win my fair share of local BR matches at 50 & 100 yards. Annie's, Voodo's, 52's, Kimbers, 40X's, CZ's all take their share of wins. With and without tuners. The shooter makes more difference than the rifle in my experience. In my neck of the woods the most consistent winners shoot BR Annies with tuners but others win as well. I haven' tried a tuner yet but may go down that rabbit hole.

I have 2 "budget benchrest" rifles that do well enough to be enjoyable: one is a mid-60's Anschutz 54, the second is a Kimber 82G. Both really became competitive with the addition of a Harrels tuner which allows me not to have to search for the "right" ammunition.

If you look around you can find a Winchester 52D that will fit your budget.
