.22 Rimfires

[Partsunknown]

Any recommendations on stores in MA that carry a variety of .22 Rimfires? Looking to get back into rifle target shootings. It's been a long time and it's pretty difficult to tell from the websites. Thanks!

I just bought a sig mosquito that seems pretty nice... Only likes CCI mini mags though. I tried running the CCI quiet rounds and it would not eject the spent case then put the mini mags and ran fine.. Friday night Grrr gear had 2 in stock....

Well, the Mosquito would not do very well for "rifle target shooting". lol

I can't imagine that anyone would have something.

I have a Sig mosquito and I usually bring gun cleaner & rem oil to the range. It gets dirty after about 300 rounds of federal ammo, acts up and requires some tlc. CCI mini is suggested, but I will buy the cheapest ammo available.

What kind of target shooting are you looking to do? If you just want to kill some cans, and clay pigeons, I would look at Marlin, Savage, or Ruger for a simple cheap .22. They have them in all types of flavors and prices, and can be very accurate to boot.

Or shoot at your awesome swingers.

Well that is a given, I still have 1 left, and parts to build 25 more.

If you can find it, the Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22 is pretty sweet. I had a blast with it at the New bedford steel challenge shoot.

Ruger Mark III for handgun, and a Ruger 10/22 with a scope. Ruger 10/22 and a scope will run you about $300 new. I picked my 10/22 at Pullman Arms in Worcester, give them a call or check the website!

You can find a .22 rifle in most gun shops, I try to support local Gun Shops over chain sporting good stores. I like the 10/22, they can be modified pretty easily. I also have a Marlin Model 60 which never gave me any problems.

The Marlin Model 60 is a very sweet shooter, for not a lot of money. I picked up a used, later model (plastic trigger guard) for less than a hundred bucks. But, I did end up having to replace the recoil buffer -- not noticed until I took it to the range.
