are there any .22 lr rifles that look like a good ole fashioned bolt rifle? I hate the look of these "sporter" models where half the barrel is just sticking right out.I know there are military training guns that are .22 lr.
There is an old Mossberg model that has a peep rear sight, a wing protected front sight, a carbine length barrel and a stock that looked full when the vert grip was folded up. Accurate and inexpensive to boot.
And I thought this was gonna be a thread about those silly tacti-cool "assault rifle" Rooney guns that some people make from .22's.
I'll be eagerly tracking this thread for info and sources! While I love my accurized 10/22 and Savage bolt gun, I would love to find more traditional looking rifles. I had never thought about military trainers in .22. I sense a new twist to my collecting.
3006mv- You totally ommitted the CZ 452-2E ZKM "Trainer" whcih would be a very fitting and affordable model.
It accepts standard .22 groove rings for scope mounting- but they need to be high for bolt handle clearane. I personally have see-thru's because I get both height AND the ability to use the glorious iron sights that are standard on that model. The sights on the trainer model are excellent. In the last light rifle match I shot with mine (Scoped with a cheap 3-9x40) I scored out at 277/300 (target scores 89, 93, 95) on a course of fire consisting of 30 rounds, unsupported standing position, sling use not permitted @ 50 Feet. I came in second to another CZ shooter, who was using a CZ American model, with higher end optics and more expensive ammo- and the shooter is a very skilled and experienced 3P shooter. He scored a 278.
I have seen a couple of nice lookinf Mil-style trainers
J&G had a nice looking Enfield .22,
A guy at the range used to shoot a Mauser style .22 that was actually made in France.
"...look like a good ole fashioned bolt rifle..." Yep. The No. 7 Lee-Enfield. Single shot .22 with target sights. It'll drive tacks with no fuss. Cheap nor common, they ain't.
Over the last couple of years had the chance to shoot a Enfield trainer and one of the Polish M1948 trainers that looks a lot like a M38 M/N. Both good rifles, and quite accurate.
And you get the joy of firing a .22 in the Enfield and having people ask if there's something wrong with your ammo...
prly the most common and cheapest are the 69 romanian trainer. then you've got the marlin 22's, several models, that look like the m2 carbines. the glenfield 75, and 75-c, the 99m1 and the 99m2.
