Thoughts On Decent Bolt Action Rimfire 22 LR

[PaulyD]

Like the title says, what say ye?
Looking for a good bolt action 22 with a threaded barrel. Currently running a Ruger 10-22 in a Stockey’s thumbhole stock, Green Mountain 20 inch threaded barrel and a Power Custom trigger job. Already have several CZ 452’s, all non threaded. Thinking about a Tikka T1x or maybe a Savage or???
Thanks

My vote - Tikka T1X

Tikka T1X

I hear a lot of good about T1x from the test centers. Best chance of having shooter straight out of the box.

My Tikka T1X is a good shooter. Threaded barrel. It shoots Norma Tac22 well and just gets better with better ammo.

I have a CZ 452, Tikka T1X, Bergara BXR, and a 1416HB Anschutz. All are threaded but the CZ. The 1416 is an entry level Anschutz and it cost me right around a grand. I like it far better than the other 3. The trigger is wonderful at 6oz. I like the Tikka second after the Anschutz.

I would suggest keeping your eye on the rimfire central forum for a while. They have some great stuff there from time to time.

Look at all models of the CZ-457. i like mine and won't trade it
for a Tika. Get the Timney 10 oz trigger and forget about messing
with springs.

Guys, show me some targets @ 50 yds. Thanks

I have a T1X and an Anschutz 54 Sporter. They shoot ver close to each other at 50 and 100 yards with Eley yellow box or RWS50. I am a wood and blued steel guy and I like the Anschutz better than the T1 but we are talking a large price difference for similar performance.

 

[hpshooter]

Sorry, the only rimfire targets i save are the 50 yard and some 100 yard ones shot with my old bat wing safety 54 match prone rifle.

look for one at Shooters Corner

CZ is not threaded but there is an abundance of aftermarket barrels that you can swap yourself in a matter of minutes. And probably more aftermarket support than anything except a 1022.

Enjoy the rabbit hole. My two cents Bergara B14R or CZ 457 MTR and buy a trigger.

CZ457

CZ and tikkas are fine rifles however there isnt anything quite like a true custom built 22 built by someone who knows the ins and outs of 22LR building there are several folks out there chambering 22lr these days very few actually know the craft. do your research and enjoy the process

I had a T1x and a 457. THe 457 is still around and the T1x was sold.

I will say though that it kept right up with the CZ, but I just liked the fit, finish, and feel of the CZ a little better.

Tikka T1x hands down for the win. In it's price range nothing will touch it. They just shoot, straight from the box. Mount a nice scope and go shoot it.

Kidd barrels are fantastic on the 10/22 platform, just saying, crazy accurate.

I have a Tikka T1X, 2 actually, 16” and 20”. Great rifles, one is more accurate than the other but they both do a good job. They come with threaded barrels which is nice. I have some CZs too, also accurate rifles, I like some of the older models better than current offerings.

Another fun option is the Browning T-Bolt. I have an older one but a friend has a new 16.5” that shoots very well.

Are you looking for new or is used an option?

If the budget allows some of the Anshutz rifles are great. Used Kimbers, Coopers and other are fun but rarely threaded. Some of the new Anshutz are.

My most accurate 22 is a heavy barreled Winchester 74, fun rifle.

Or consider a custom as reply #15 mentions.

I am leaving my options open. Used does not bother me. I suppose I could throw a Kidd barrel on the 10-22 and see how it shoots. Currently its sporting a 20 inch Green Mountain. Accuracy seems decent.
