Full size 22 rifle

[matt35750]

I am 6'3 and the 22 rifles I have tried at the gun shop are ridiculously small on me and would be uncomfortable to shoot. Do they make any 22 rifles that are full sized.

 

[beatledog7]

CZ-452 or 455. Don't have their LOP handy, but they handle like a real rifle, not a toy.

Not that all .22 rifles aren't real rifles--I simply mean the CZ does not feel "small" the way many of the most popular 22's do.

 

[ColtPythonElite]

I am about the same height and can comfortably shoot my CZ rifles.

something like this maybe...http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/36_63_972/products_id/21729 But realize these have been hard to get for 9+months so they are selling like hotcakes

But any Cz in general...400-500 is alot for a 22lr for a reason

A Marlin 39 would also be a great choice.

If you want to expand into the used market, look at Winchester Model 69 series (bolt action), Model 100 (semi auto), also Marlin, Remington, and Stevens.

I have a Win Model 69A - a beautiful and accurate rifle.

I'm 6-3, my cz's are good especially the one I have in a thumb hole stock.

also the Marlin 39.

Additionally there are aftermarket stocks for the CZ (and Brno) .22, like this....


The adjustable stock has helped me shrink my groups.

Henry makes a .22 lever action with a nice 20" heavy octagon barrel in a 6.25 lb rifle. Nice rifle for the price, too.

 

[BullRunBear]

At 6'5" I am comfortable with a Marlin 39. I would like to handle a Henry 001 to see how it fits.

Matt35750;

I'll also put in a vote to try the CZ guns. I'd also think a Ruger 77/22 would be of a good size for you, but even pricier than a CZ if I 'member's correctly. And yeah, a Marlin 39 would fill the bill too.

[matt35750]

I forgot to mention I am looking for semi auto 22

 

[ColtPythonElite]

Remington 550

I just sold an older Stevens bolt that was plenty big. In fact, it was almost too long for me, at 6'1. Upgraded to an AccuTriggger Savage, with the bolt on the left side. But the Savage is 3/4 sized, like most .22s.

Another full sized one is the old Mossberg 151k. Not sure that's all that findable an answer, though.

 

[statelineblues]

Cz-511

 

[9mmepiphany]

The best full sized .22lr I've handled are the:
1. Bolt Action - Anschutz 1712

2. Semi-auto - old Weatherby Mark XXII

 

[DanTheFarmer]

Check out the Remington Speedmaster, 552. It's a full sized semi-auto.

 

[Deltaboy1984]

Remington 550 series or Mossburge made some too in.semi auto.

 

[wally]

If single shot works for you the surplus Polish Mosin-Nagant .22lr trainers are "full sized". I got mine more as a novelty, but it shoots very well, and being so long I can still (barely) focus on the front sight. Its getting so I can count on my fingers guns I can shoot well with iron sights

 

[desidog]

There are numerous 10/22 aftermarket stocks that come in all shapes sizes and colors.

 

[ECVMatt]

I would look at a Ruger 10/22 with a Houge stock. I have the same size as you and it fits me well.

A Marlin 39 would also be a great choice.

A Marlin 39-A would be a super choice. Try to find an older one at your local FFL though as the new ones have a quality setback. I bought a 39-A not that long ago, made in the 60's that was well cared for and of course in excellent condition. I installed an "era" 6X Weaver on the same and the accuracy is surpeb!

 

[Comrade Mike]

+1 for the Henry Octagonal frontier with a set of skinner peep sights.

Cheaper than a new 39a even with sights and shoots just as well. Still feels like a proper rifle.

Check out the Kimber 82G. Comes with adjustable butt-spacers.

 

[Dr.Rob]

+1 for Remington Speedmaster.

http://www.remington.com/en/product...milies/autoloading-model-552-speedmaster.aspx

Feels like a 7600 sized rifle or 870 Shotgun.

You can still find the long discontinued Winchester Model 77, semi-auto rifles (in both "clip" and tubular magazine versions) at gun shows for around $300.00 or so. They're pretty "full-sized" as semi-auto .22 rifles go.
