Good Morning THR Members,
I'm in search of a new accurate 22LR, preferably bolt action, for small game hunting. I would like to be at $300 or less for the firearm alone and of course I have some "basic desires" I'd like it to have.
Ideally I want something that is:
- Bolt action
- Good trigger
- Pictinary rail or able to add one without adding much height to my scope setup.
- Bi-Pod ready (or sling).
- Threaded barrel
Most of my shots are 35 to 70 yards, some out to 100, but not very often. I hunt in a wooded area in Michigan for typically Coon, Squirrel, sometimes coyotes that attack my ducks, etc.. My scope is a 6-20x50 redfield illuminator if that matters, my favorite scope ever made...
I did some research on some applicable choices and I stumbled into a savage mark ii fv-sr. I've never used one, but it has good reviews and videos. Before I make any choices I'd like to see if anyone has some other suggestions as I am not very knowledgeable of the 22 market.
Also.. Thinks I dont want....
- 17HMR
- 22 Mag (already have one).
- Semi Auto (Nothing makes me more mad than a "click" or mis-feed when hunting.
Thanks everyone!
