What's your favorite .22 LR rifle? (Non semi auto)

Very nice! My V-22 is currently sitting in a KRG Bravo, but I plan to upgrade to the ARC Xylo chassis to match my ARC Nucleus rifle in 6mm creed
I am a member at a couple ranges in South Worcester County.

My V22 is in a AI chassis. Its a “trainer” set up just like my center fires.

My V22s is in a RoTex stock. Set up for bench rest.
 
A Marlin XT22 cause it's the only 22 bolt I own. Not the prettiest fit, but she's a good cheap date and delivers every time on accuracy and reliability.
 
My son in law just picked up a Savage Minimalist. We threw an extra scope we had on it and went to the range. Accurate and fun little bugger. It's going to be his little varmint gun. I brought my Henry Silver Eagle. Talk about two completely different experiences. The Henry is just shot with iron sights. Both guns incredibly fun, but totally different. I may pick up a 22lr bolt action and scope it. Makes for good practice without spending a small fortune on ammo. I still cannot find powder to load for my 308.
 
Speaking of 22s. If anybody is looking for a folding stock chassis for a CZ 457, a company just came out with one. I have no idea if there are others already out there or not.


They also have a 10/22 version, but this is the non-semi auto thread 😉
 
I love my Henry lever action, but lately it's the Savage MKII that's been making me smile. I got a great deal on it at the Mill, and once I figured it would shoot I updated with a Boyd's Pro Varmint stock and Athlon NEOS scope.

CCI SV manages a consistent .5" at 50 yards. Not bad for ammo that runs $.07 per round delivered from CMP!

Post 62 my Savage B22 FV-SR. Here’s sub Moa at 50 with cheap Eley. CCI SV is about the same. Great rifles.

I've got a B22 in .22 WMR, and really like it. I looked around for an FV or FVSR B22 in LR, but it seems like they dried up after that $50 rebate in the fall! I definitely prefer the rotary mag to the stamped single stack.

I took the MKII out to the long range for a little fun today. I put some squirrel pop ups at 200 yards, and hits were very consistent with CCI SV. I decided to stretch out to 300 yards, and the larger gongs were pretty easy to hit once I got the elevation dialed in. Ever the optimist, I figured I could take some pot shots at the 12"x20" 2/3 IPSCC silhouette at 400. I've got a 20 MOA rail, dialed the scope up to the stops at about 50 minutes, and held over by about 25 more. The final result was five hits in a row with SV ammo! It took about four seconds from firing the round to hearing the sad little "tink". That's about 25 feet of drop from my usual 50 yard zero, and lots of fun for little money!

Shooting some plinking ammo from cmp from 12 years ago or so. Not great but not terrible. Wind was a bit stout from the Left
Just shot one 10 shot group at 100 yards after a little 50 yard plinking.ACAF4D88-E85F-4059-BB7F-62A0E1A22943.jpegC833BF17-5CFC-49D2-974B-F990CAE5C566.jpegC909C59F-4981-4030-8D80-4AB23C233475.jpeg
