I need another 22. Have a couple marlin's, a Henry, don't want a lever action, 2 of my current rim's are bolt, 1 semi. 2 scoped, 1 red dot.
I don't want a 10/22. Although I will admit the 10/22 heavy barrel seemed OK. But I don't want an out-of-the-box project gun, like it seems the 10/22's are...
In short, I just want to add some rings and a decent scope, and be able to be pretty much done for 100-150 yards for some small varmint hunting/pest control.
I was eyeballing a remington 597, but didn't like the synthetic stock, which then means monkeying with it to get it the way I want it...
The other option was a magnum research .22 with a leupold scope, but they wanted 900 bucks for it. Nice thumbhole stock and such, but a little too racy. The R55 (they had several models) was around 700 or so with scope.
Thanks in advance.
