"I love bolt actions because you can get them for only a couple hundred bucks... anyways here's my $2700 rifle."

[@chrisschmidt6687]

I know, that drives me nuts about him sometimes. Talk about how everyone can get a bolt action and then mention one maybe two that the average person can afford or find. I recently purchased a ruger precision for around 400. Likely the most I will ever spend on a rimfire.

Let’s face it. Shooting is a hobby and people spend what they feel is of value in support of ‘their’ hobby. I’m a retired guy who on;u picked up shooting a few years ago. My first rifle was a Vudoo on the MPA chassis and it’s a gem. My second is a 6.5 Creed from Cadex Defence, also a gem. I prefer spending more to ensure 1/2 MOA or better groupings. It’s a hobby not some frigging right.

[@horsewarriors8254]

I have 4 kids in the local 4H shooting club. Each kid needs 3 rifles: target (aperture sights), hunt (traditional iron sights), and scoped. Bolt actions are by far the most common and easiest to use, mostly because the rules don't allow for rounds to be fed from a magazine, but one at a time by hand, even though the rifle can have a magazine of whatever type. I can tell you alot about accuracy on a budget! Most of our rifles are older, wood and blued. The list includes a Winchester 75, Winchester 72, Remington 521T, Mossberg 320K, Wards 14M, Stevens,. The newer rifles are CZ 455, Ruger American, Savage FV Mark II. Lots of fun!

I'm not sure I'd be able to give you a wild arse guess as to how many thousands of rounds that have passed through it ... and, it's still among the most accurate 22's I own. Great list and enjoyable video to watch ... Cheers!

Those old Mossbergs are really good shooters. I have a late 60’s single shot model chambered for short, long, and long rifle.

Old Mossbergs are awesome. I have a chuckster in .22wmr from the late 70s I found for $200. It's the most accurate gun I own. It has iron sights and a beautiful wood stock with original sling. I use it for long range pest control and my 10/22 for close range stuff. I really love that gun.

Remington 581s and 10/22 International, rifles. 4in 8 shot revolver. covers my 22's. With a 22 you'll never go hungry. To step it up there is the 357 magnum, side arm and rifle. Reloading brings out the best for the 357. One of the cheapest ways to get better accuracy from your 22's is to simply WEIGH the ammo. Shoot the ones in the "middle" that all weigh the same. The light ones hit low and to the right, the heavy ones hit high and to the left. Weighing out 100 rounds I found a 1.1 grain difference from the lightest to the heaviest. The Hornady Manual, .03 of a grain 50-100 fps difference. For a 22 that's a lot. Hey, 22plinkster....... Great channel, keep up the good work.

My favorite, actually my only bolt action, single shot .22 LR rifle ... I bought only three days after I was honorably discharged from the Navy. I bought it in a pawn shop for ... (drum roll) $19. A Winchester Model 67a. I believe it was manufactured pre 1944 ... as it says Made in United States of America on the barrel, and has no identifying marks such as serial number. Open breach, insert one bullet, close the breach, pull back the firing pin bolt ... aim, squeeze the trigger and fire ... open breach, insert one bullet, close the breach and repeat. It is super accurate with a 27" barrel. It is rugged ... I tell folks, "drop it out of an airplane at 10,000 ft ... pick it up, put another stock on it, and it will fire as it did prior." It bounced around in the bed of a truck, in the trunk of several cars ... and hardly chipped the old original wood stock. I couldn't count, the paper targets, beer bottles, soda cans, squirrels, jack rabbits, and snakes, that I have shot at, on a single calculator in one month of trying. Bought it in 1972, and when I die, it will go to my great grandson.

My favorite bolt action is my old Remington 33 single shot I've own since 1999 and shot lots and lots of game with. But after that, I really want to get my hands on a Browning T-bolt .22 LR.

[@nathanduffy6565]

The 33 is a nice little single shot gun, they were only made for 2 or so years. I love mine because it's an heirloom. It was my dad's grandfathers gun, given to him by his grandmother after grandad passed. It was my dad's first firearm. It was the first gun I ever shot, and the first gun my son ever shot.

[@arnoldfoote1925]

T-bolt nice rifle, hearing at the Range the older model's shoot a lot better than the new Model, also in Canada there over a$1000.00 now with Taxes

[@BigWeenieC]

Where can you buy a Lithgow in the USA? There’s not even any for sale on GunBroker. I want one in 22 WMR

[@tnoonsnoons3773]

Great selection of Rifles, but I’ll put my Cooper 57M or Anschutz 1712 (54 Action) against any of them. Split cards consistently at 75 yards, along with 3-4 shots out of 5 with the same Hole at 50 Yards. Other shots are touching. I’m not a trick shooter, but a Precision shooter. Splitting Hairs ( excuse the pun) with some of our Rifles, are definitely a matter of Ammo and the Shooter. Try the Anschutz and Cooper ! You’ll need to do this Video again, replacing some picks. Great Shooting, regardless, Ted

[@cigarsmoker5077]

I agree. Iron sights on an Anschutz can not be beat!

[@ffnovice7]

The CZ Ultra Lux was my first ever gun, bought back in 2010 immediately after discovering 4chun. Great source of pride, especially now that it's discontinued and getting rarer and rarer

[@irishkelly654]

lefu - You are so right, I have the 453 ultra lux, it is a shooter, set trigger is wicked, for sure. Beautiful .22, my buddies drool all over it any time I take her out for some exercise. Heck, some times they even let ME shoot it, LOL. Cheers...

[@SharpShooterCO]

Very nice collection, and well said as always 👍 The only twen-te- to-el-ar bolt i have is the Ruger Precision Rimfire, and so far, is a great shooter. I do miss my Winchester model 52C, 4 position rifle with the unertl 32 power scope form my competitive years, but my Marlin 39a mountie can almost put them both to shame 😉 Thanks for sharing, and plink on!

[@hardluckclub7271]

my favorite is the weatherby xxii. got 2 of them. one tube fed and one clip fed. great fit and feel.

[@jmichna1]

My very first firearm was a Mossberg 346KC... think I paid $79 for it back around 1968-1970-ish. Kept it until 2022 when I sold it to a good friend looking for an accurate, dependable bolt action 22. Although I know this rifle went to a good owner and gets more use than I was providing, I still feel occasional pangs of regret over selling it.

[@pnotuner1]

I have never seen one like that. If I do I'm buying.

[@davepauwels673]

the CZ is great , i got one from my uncle for my 16th b-day back in 1996 , 26" barrel , shot 100 yard groups as good as his anschutz match rifle , still got it btw

[@rcwildman9255]

Shhhhhh it’s ok ruger American rim fire, your still the most accurate one I own. 😅

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

Me too ! My Ruger Model 77/22 magnum topped with a Leupold VX I 2-7 by 33 is a TACK DRIVER. ! CCI 40 grain JHP and 33 grain Remington Accutip V print dime sized clover leaf groups all day long ☘️ 🎯

[@stevez6300]

My Ruger American compact shoots really well for the price. It’s the only Ruger rifle I own now because I sold all of the 10/22s

[@livinginswva1965]

Thanks for the video. I recently bought a CZ 457 MTR Varmint, based on watching Buffalo's Outdoor's series on it. I think it's going to be really accurate, if I can ever catch a day that isn't windy to shoot.

[@deathtdow]

If it's chambered in 22lr try shooting Eley Match through it, I found my CZ457 lux to be cartridge sensitive, loves Eley Match though. Other CZ457 owners have told me that Eley Match is what their rifles liked too.

[@livinginswva1965]

@@deathtdow I'll have to try that. I've had good results with Norma Tac22 in it, looking forward to trying the Eley Match

[@bradtipton986]

About 30 years ago I bought a Remington Nylon tube feed bolt action from a co-worker for $90. I topped it with a 4X high power rifle scope on tip-off mounts. THIS RIFLE SHOOTS ! Using just Winchester Wildcat ammo this is a half inch shooter, even with the light nylon stock. It will outshoot my former Anschutz dedicated target rifle. The butter knife handle bolt works smooth and the trigger is decent. Groundhogs do not stand a chance against this rig. Not bad for a total investment of about $150.

[@calicojack556]

Browning T Bolt Target, 16.5" threaded barrel. I modified the trigger from it's stock 4.5 lbs (min adjustable setting) down to 2.5, which voids the warranty, but what a sweet shooter. I keep the set screw adjustment so the trigger is at 3.5 lbs.

[@heathdean3807]

I'm partial to the Bergara, but that's because I have its big brother in 300WM. Very nice collection.

[@liedebunker1253]

I bought a Lithgow mainly based on 22plnkster's review of it. It's really accurate with the right ammo.👍

[@evilhairlessmonkey7700]

Top 5 out of rifles he owns folks

[@alexf.8028]

I have an old Mossberg 146b-a and I love that rifle will never sell it either those Mossbergs are awesome

[@hillbilly4christ638]

Most accurate 22 I ever shot was a savage anschutz model 64 match grade with Redfield peep sights that had interchangeable apertures. The very first shots went through the same hole with no discernable difference to suggest that two shots had gone through. We sighted the rifle in from there. The rifle in my hands consistently delivered 48-50 scores and was instrumental to achieving the different levels of marksmanship. I find it odd that Dave did not mention anschutz when nearly 80% of all competition rifles are anschutz. I have shot Remington and others but none delivered the consistent accuracy of the anschutz.

[@Misiracaltudamecekas-qw8xo]

Isn't that amazing that the locals in Americas has no clue about Europe in general.

[@rhare7353]

I have two Marlin model 80 bolt action rifles, both very accurate one has the micro groove barrel the older one is not marked as micro groove they both shoot great.

[@DSToNe19and83]

Man them vudoos are wicked nice looking but holy smokes, I’m way to cheap to ever own a 5k rimfire. 🍻

Spread your 5 grand out and buy 5 to 10 good quality firearms and enjoy the array of makes and features.

[@rcflightseeker3488]

I have a Mossberg MB46 22lr, I love that old bastard! Made in 1946 as a Military trainer. Those old guns came with bull barrels before bull barrels where a thing.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

My favorite rimfire rifles in history are the Marlin 25s and all their variants. They’re affordable, super-accurate, tough, not bad looking, and incredibly tough and reliable. The new ones might not be so great, I’ve heard Marlin has gone downhill lately. The most recent one I have is a .17HMR with the heavy stainless barrel and laminate sporter stock from probably 2008? and the oldest (and best shooter) is a 1978 25 Glenfield in .22LR. I’ve taken them all apart and polished and slicked up all the important parts, the usual accurizing budget rifle stuff. I’ve shot some incredible .22s, but I personally can’t justify the kind of money they take to buy, I don’t shoot competitively or anything like that. The Savages are also super-impressive for the money.

[@pnotuner1]

My Marlin 983 22wmr bolt gun was getting light strikes and now no longer shoots at all.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

@@pnotuner1 That happened to my '77 model Glenfield 25, after God knows how many hundreds of thousands of rounds, in probably 2015. A local gunsmith fixed it for cheap, maybe 25 bucks. Now it's back to being my favorite and most accurate .22 rifle.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Great little video man. It's kind of letting people into your personal space a bit.......... appreciate the sincerity. Stay safe and God bless brother.

[@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS]

I'd love to see some velocity tests with that CZ!

[@PacificAirwave144]

My CZ 452 Ultra-Lux is just Love. Maybe 20 years ago it was bought for ~$600. If I saw one in a store these days for near that I'd have to get it. Beautiful wood, accurate as heck...

[@davidlotspeich5547]

Ditto on the CZ. I love my CZ455

[@gremlin3362]

I have a CZ 457 MTR. Would love to see you do a review on it. I’m only a couple hours away if you wanna work out a timeline.

[@johndoll7199]

I have to agree about the CZ 452. Well made and accurate enough with a 4x scope that I spent an afternoon using it to trim grass stalks near a 50 yard target. Great gun. Great video. Thanks and keep it up!

[@RiverRat1953]

My love for CZ 452’s also!

[@alwollerton5794]

Just glad you are back, I kept looking for videos and did not see anything new and was worried you were ill or something.

[@_AVAM]

Would love to see a review of the Hammerli X-Esse. It is not very well known, but it is surely one of the most accuarate .22 pistols. Here in Europe it is very used in target shooting at 25 metres.

[@brian770]

nice list, i have the new version of the 452, its the 457 jaguar with the 28" barrel. love it.

[@Goldenwithaleash]

I only have one bolt action .22 but it’s a CZ456 AT-ONE and I absolutely love it. I went with the 16” barrel to keep the overall length manageable with my suppressor.

[@texassportsman5880]

My first .22 was a Remington nylon 66. It was inexpensive and accurate. It's long gone. My go to is a Ruget 10/22 with Hogue stock, Green Mountain 18" blued tapered fluted barrel, Brownell receiver w/integrated picatinny rail and Leupold VX-1 2-7x33 Rimfire scope. I also have a Browning T-Bolt .22WMR w/Swarovski Z3 3-10X42 scope. Both are badass .22s.

[@ryane6719]

I saw one at Cabelas last week. Used of course. They were asking just under $400

[@lobster8009]

I was just sitting here like. anschütz. Anschütz. ANSCHÜTZ! Well, at least they got an honorable mention at the end. THEY shoot the absolute lights out. Great rifles

[@BlueTJay]

My Anschutz .22 Hornet was the best rifle I ever used on foxes. 40 gr soft sierra bullets mean no damage to skins. 200 yd shots not a problem!

[@twolak1972]

Yeah or Remington 541. Those first 2 he showed are not hunting rifles, that first one looks like it weighs 10 lbs and 5000 dollars , come on, The only way I,m spending 5 G,s on a 22 is if it's a unfired Remington 40 x F grade. Worth every penny.

[@ThreeSpeedBikes]

My picks would be: Winchester 52, Winchester 69A, Savage 19NRA full-stock, Mossberg 42m, CZ 452/455.
