    Looking for a cheap bolt action .22

    I agree with powwowell. I searched all around the net and researched all sorts of options. After posting here and getting even more information I settled on the Marlin 981T, Synthetic Stock. I really love the feel of the rifle, the weight and balance feel good. The trigger has no detectable...

    Replace Ruger 10/22 with a bolt action?

    Range Time Well, I went to the range for about 2 hours, just to let a friend do some shooting. I took the Ruger 10/22, and really wished that I had the new Marlin to go with it... The Ruger kept failing to feed, failing to eject, and generally irritated me greatly. I tried Federal...

    Replace Ruger 10/22 with a bolt action?

    As far as my current situation: The Ruger is not as reliable as I would have liked, especially with various .22lr loads. Some are hotter than others and cycle the bolt too fast (or so it seems) causing stovepipe-jams, while others seem to be underpowered and cant cycle the bolt enough to...

    Replace Ruger 10/22 with a bolt action?

    I am new to a lot of gun "stuff" and am considering a bolt action to replace my Ruger 10/22. I don't particularly like Ruger's stance on some issues (but that is beyond the scope of this thread) and I would like to consider good reasons to, if there are any, replace the venerable 10/22 with a...

    Hi. I'm a new member also. Been looking on this site, off and on, for a while now. I am kinda "new" to most gun stuff. I have a Beretta 92FS for carry, a Ruger 10/22, a Mossberg .410, as well as a WASR-10 AK Clone. I am interested in learning more about Centerfire Bolt Action rifles.
