Matteo323 0 Posted April 22, 2021 Hey guys looking for something in-between. 22 lr and my .223/556.Thinking .17hmr or .22 mag . Looking for better accuracy more then like varmint hunting. Any recommendations for a middle of the road bolt action rifle would be fantastic also . Something less then$600 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpio64 5,147 Posted April 22, 2021 204 Ruger, 218 Bee or 219 Zipper will fill the gap. The guns are cheap compared to ammo price, and I'm not talking WuFlu/blamtifa riots/Xiden prices. That shit was always expensive. Kinda like buying a reasonably priced printer but the ink costs half the price of the printer itself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matteo323 0 Posted April 22, 2021 Thanks for the input so far. Trying to keep cost per round down, that's why I'm looking at rimfire calibers. That ruger 204 looks impressive though. The cz rifles are beautiful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grapeshot 301 Posted April 22, 2021 I've got a Savage .17 HMR bolt action that is as accurate (maybe more so) than anything else I own. Lots of fun at the range. If you're going to hunt with it it's too much for squirrel (ask me how I know), but would be fine for larger game. And - I have actually seen .17 HMR ammo available.

Malice4you 627 Posted April 22, 2021 A good .22 with good ammo can be surprisingly accurate and fun. My recent shooting with .22LR has been 10 shot groups, a 6x 5shot group target (one page, 6 targets you shoot for groups), and some paper 'know your limits' targets I designed. Throw in a few reactive targets and it is a good day at the range. My issue with .17HMR is there is no match ammo available for it. Granted, mine likes CCI A17 and TNT and shoots reasonably small groups most of the time at 100, but some company needs to step up and make some good, quality ammo in .17HMR. In your price range, you are in CZ 457 territory. Not sure if the Tikkas are available in magnums, but i think they are/were in that range for .22LRs. I own a few good Savages but for the money, I would hold off unless you want to budget more for optics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
