Looking for a .22 as I want something cheap to shoot for tgt and whistle pigs.
Want auto loader, preferably heavy bbl, iron sights not required but ok.
Accuracy is #1 priority. Would like it to be able to do 1" @ 100yds (not that ill use it to there but thats the std guage) give or take as long as I do my part--how easy is this for a .22 baring the wind?
Price #2 is important but will pay for a tack driver, under $500 preferred.
Good trigger #3 is always nice! If its not great stock as long as its not hard or expensive to fix im happy.
Reliability, #4 want to shoot not sort issues. But minor niggles are ok as long as its cheap and easy fix. (I understand good mags make the differance).
Not intersted in a 10/22!!!!!
Looking at these so far.
Remmy 597 TVP/Yellow Jacket
Buckmark rifle
Marlin Model 60
Savage 64 BTV
So come on guys give me the skinny, which one and why. Especially if you have owned/shot more than one.
Rate accuracy out the box along with trigger, and reliability.
I go to Vegas in a weeks or so for a month and would like to buy when I get back, especially before I deploy this spring.
Edition to add I really lke the look of the 597 and savage with the laminate and thumb hole stocks.
I do have the opportunity to tryout a Buckmark from a friend.
