Beautiful rifle!Title of this thread is "Best .22wmr rifle" In most references to rifles best usually means most accurate. Anschutz has well earned reputation as the most accurate rimfire rifles available, so I suspect that a best choice would be something like this Anschutz M-1522.

Beautiful. Too bad they discontinued that model. I do believe they make a model in that Caliber but they are hard to come by.Title of this thread is "Best .22wmr rifle" In most references to rifles best usually means most accurate.

Henry pumps have such a poor design for pumping, that they are "sticky" because they don't have the mechanical advantage to work smoothly, especially in 22 magnum.Maybe Henry pumps will do the same, but I don't own one. Henry pump action rifles are more expensive, but are made here in the USA.

My Ruger American Farmer is really accurate. I don't have a picture with the scope on it.

Don't forget ULA,Best overall, or best value?
There are the ultra-premium critters like the Anschutz on the last page or the Coopers and Kimbers. They do not disappoint, but they also carry a hefty price tag.
Then there are guns like the Marlin 25M. Kinda plain Jane, not gonna dazzle anyone when you pull it out, but they're shooters.
If your nostalgic, the Marlin 57M is relatively cheap. And it will seriously shoot. Marlin levers are remarkable. However, parts maybe hard to find.View attachment 1116045
A few selling for $350-600. But you're right. Nice ones are crazy now.Haven’t checked prices on gun broker lately have you?
I’ve long wanted one but the “recoil” from the prices is more than I can accept.
I thought the same thing for years. Then one day I decided to try one. Then I started having problems with it almost immediately. Then I got another. Then I started having problems with it almost immediately. Seems I was right all along. Sticking with my Winchester 94/22's from here on out.The forged steel Winchester XTR 9422M is the best :

I just cannot do the Henry thing with those pot metal Zamak receivers. But an XTR is going to run some money, quality always does.
