The title pretty much sums things up. You can choose 2.
Explanation:
In January I joined a Gun Club and the first question I was asked by two members was “Do you or have you ever shot .22 rifles in competition?”
My answer was “No.”
They told me a little about their weekend competitions and it sounded like fun, but I really didn’t think any more about it until 2 weeks ago when I met a guy at the range that was shooting targets 200 and 300 yards out with his .22 rifle.
One thing led to another and he let me try his gun out.
The rifle is a CZ 457 Varmint AT-ONE. He had a
big scope on it. It was a variable and I think it was a 6-24 power. I shot a steel plate at 100 yards 3 times and all three rounds made a cute little shamrock on the plate.
I am hooked!
I am looking for a .22 rifle that I can shoot in these
FUN competitions and for fun. “Fun” is the key word here. I want a factory gun, not a “build”. I want to put my new Viridian 6-24x50 scope on it (Thanks
@LiveLife ) and shoot it the next day. I have had my fill of building / modifying guns for various competitions. I am done with all that.
I am looking to spend a
maximum of $700 for the gun itself. (Remember the word “Fun”?
I don’t “have” to spend $700. I would definitely prefer to spend less if there’s a gun that costs less and is an accurate model.
I am not buying the gun right away. Probably in a few weeks.
I really liked that CZ that I shot, but I am not locked into having a CZ, but everything I read about the various accurate .22lr guns it seems that the CZ 457 is definitely a favorite.
This gun will mostly be shot from a bench but I do plan to use it squirrel and rabbit hunting.
What .22 LR rifle would you recommend or which gun do you have that you really appreciate because it’s accurate?
