Hi guys,
I've decided I "need" a nice semi-auto rifle in 22lr as a little graduation present for myself. I've been thinking about getting something nice in centerfire, but since I only have access to a 100 yard range I feel as if shooting centerfire would be a waste of money. So I decided to go for a nice 22lr that I can toss a nice piece of glass on to practice shooting from field positions with a sling and bipod. I know bolt guns tend to be more accurate, and I have a few bolt 22s, but I just find semi-autos more fun. However, I really don't know what to get. I've been looking at everything from building an AR lower and getting a 22lr upper, to a Kidd supergrade 10-22, to the semi-auto offerings from CZ, Savage, and Marlin.
So, if you wanted to get an accurate 22 rifle to shoot with a sling or bipod and had a budget of around $1200 for the rifle, what would you get?
