Heavy BBL 22

[Newt]

Recently, I've been given a 100 dollar Christmas bonus from my employer. I would really like to put that toward a new 22 bolt gun. I'm looking for something in a heavy bbl. Savage makes a Mark II F that looks like what I'd be in the market for. Wallyworld has one listed for $137.00. I already have a Remington 597, so this would be mostly a plinker. I'll worry about glass after Christmas. Anything comperable to the Savage Mark II F out there in the $150 range?

Nobody?!?! Man, I sure thought I'd hit a nerve with a question like this one. Surely there's someone that has some experience with this.

How much are those Thompson Center heavy-barrelled .22s now?

Those always looked like soild weapons but can't help you on price.

T/C .22LR HB = $399.00

T/C .22LR HB = $399.00 in Michigan

Ohhh, sorry. How about a used 10/22 and then install an aftermarket barrel on it?

in the same price range? marlin 7000 if you can still find one, or a 795.
