Most accurate rimfire

[ttheel]

I dont know which gun is the "most" accurate out there. I can tell you that my CZ 452 American is very accurate. It groups exceptionally . One day on my back porch I cut an inch thick tree sapling down with it at about 40 yards. It took a few shots but very few. I purchased the gun a few years ago after researching for weeks. I think I paid like $379 for it.

I have a CZ 13 , 2 Ruger 10/22s , Marlin bolt action, all are capable of one hole 25 round groups at 25 yds but all open up a bit at 50 and a bit more at 100 but still moa or less dependant on ammo and wind. So in essence all are very good or better accuracy wise. People expect so much out of so little. Most high dollar cf rifles are only guaranteed 1moa with match grade $2/round ammo.The 17 is very good but not very good at 100 in the wind and not allowed in most matches.

If one wants to try both the 17HMR and the 22LR, the CZ-455 comes in a two barrel combo for both calibers

I almost bought one of these combos before I reviewed the barrel swap procedure and realized I'd rather just leave a 455 set up for one caliber. Took the wind out of my sails.

Alman;

If it simply doesn't have to be a new gun, I'm sure you can find a used CZ in your budget range. I do a lot of rimfire shooting at extended ranges, thousands & thousands of rounds. At one time I owned a Savage 93, now I don't. However, I currently have the use of several CZ's.

Many fine choices in .17 and .22 cal. One I have is a Marlin .17 M2 caliber that will shoot almost perfect dead shot each time. It is me that has the problem just getting old and between eyes and shaking hands just happy to hit the target. I just picked up a NIB Marlin XT Series .17HMR that I am expecting excellent results from, comes drilled and rail mounted, along with a very nicely finished BULL barrel, one 4rd mag and one 7rd mag. Selling point for me is the adjustable trigger, I have set mine at 3lbs and the trigger has not noticeable creep, it is smooth and crisp. As I said I am expecting better results shooting from my bench rest. Price on it was $249.-- out the door, the gun dealer I bought it from said Wally World might have them cheaper but that was not the issue, if I have any problem with it I can go back to the dealer rather than dealing with all the red tape and crap from Wally World.

Go pick up a 10/22. With a few minor modifications that have nothing to do with the action, you can have it outshooting a Volquartsen and your competitors shooting $2K+ rigs scratching their heads.

I have a Ruger 10/22 and a 1952 Marlin bolt action DL81. If I was to buy another 22 in the $300 price range it would be the Henry H001. Those little lever actions are beautiful, and the smoothness of there action is second to none.

Henry H001

Don't know how I forgot to mention the Henry, especially since I have one sitting in gun cabinet behind me.

I'm a big proponent of the 10/22 but that's more than a bit of a stretch.

CB ,
I would agree a used CZ 452 , 455 or even a trainer would be at the top of my list . Unfortunatly I see no used CZs in my neck of the woods and a gunbroker purchases sight unseen seems risky to me .
Walker ,
I have a new XT22VR heavy barrel getting ready to live in a Boyds RVT stock . Im not sure it will be a tack driver but it sure is pretty . Did I mention I have a soft spot for marlins ?

Rider , Walker & others that mentioned the Henry1001 ,
Great , fun little gun but not for this application .

For those who mentioned the 10/22 ,
Fun little .22s & great platform to "tinker" with . However its been my experience a Marlin 60 will out shoot a 10/22 right out of the box . Money must be spent on the already pricier Ruger just to keep up with 60 .
Anshutz ?
I wish .
Love this thread & everybodys opinions . Could go on forever on this subject because just about everybody owns a least one rimfire rifle .
