I've owned my ruger 10/22 for 20+ years. Put a lightweight barrel and stock. Just last year I replaced the ejector and bolt spring.. Thousands and thousands of rounds still going strong used trapping/hunting.
The parts availability and after market offering will always be there for the Ruger 10/22 and Huge selection.

I have a CZ and agree,they are super accurate.

I recently was looking for an auto-loader and got this Tactical Solutions,X Ring rifle.It is their version of the 1022,weighs 5 1/2 lbs with Leupold scope,uses 1022 magazines,has a 2.5# trigger,16" barrel and is super accurate.It costs more than a CZ or 1022,but less than most souped up 1022's.It's definitely the best .22 I've owned.

Looks like it has a Hogue over-molded stock and a Green Mtn barrel. Fine looking gun that I've heard/read some good things about.

My grandfather's rifle is a h&r 865 plainsman. It is a good rifle and I do take it on the line with me but I'm looking for a auto loading rifle now. I had a Sears 22 with the tube magazine ( much like the marlin ) when I was a kid but it is my mother's and she won't let me have it yet. So I'm looking for a great user and by the sounds of most the 10/22 is the way to go. Now to get permission from the wife. Thank you all for your input

Have several 22s. the 10-22 is about the best you can get for the money. I keep mine in the truck year round and never a problem. Great gun.

Oh boy

lol just tell her you bought it for her to learn with

i just ask for forgiveness after the fact

im a 10 22 fan. have one I bought used from a guy close to 30 years ago. tenant that owed him money left it in a closet. needed a clip. no scope or sling. thing still shoots good. looks like it was in a cement mixer for a few days but functions great. been in dog boxes on many coon hunts and probably a half million miles behind a pickup seat or three. a guy could spend more money but I seriously doubt you would be able to shoot more rabbits squirrels trapped fur or treed coons. I doubt it would hold up to use any better either

Browning BLR if you want to look like you didn’t buy it a wal mart with all the other townies. No scope. It’s got a short stroke and deadly on squirrels. Killed one the other day, as it fell the one beside it thrower his paws up, backed down the tree and climbed in my game bag.

A new in the box gun or a new to you used gun?I've got a savage .22/410 over and under that I love for squirrels.For a rifle I'm pretty partial to the old Remington nylon 66.

CZ

Cant believe we have a squirrel gun post without many pictures early season 28 gauge Wing master when leaves are heavy then when leaves start to fall Rem 552 speedmaster with my original scope I bought it with from lawn mowing money in early 70s, when trees are bare Marlin 39 AS with open sights and the hood removed. This year gonna try muzzle loader squirrels with the 32 and 36. Squirrels may be my favorite game.

I have that one ADC ...awesome shooter too!

Lots of gun makers have put out some fine 22 rifles over the years. I need to find an older 10-22 and a CZ to add to the collection haven't heard a bad thing about either of them. Glad to hear the CZ will shoot stingers well I came into few thousand of them real cheap a few years ago and don't own a gun that shoots them well. So need to start searching for one so I can shoot them up.

Here you go RHuff. Winchester model 67 and a Remington rolling block model 6. Both still shoot "minute of squirrel".

That Remington rolling block looks interesting.
I have a Stevens little scout 14 1\2 that looks identical.

I've got a 67 that's killed untold numbers of squirrel coon rabbit pretty much any game that cross crossed paths with me when I was 6 to 10 my first hunting rifle!good shoting rifle!
Colt

Remington 541T or 541S or a Kimber

Op-them ruger 77s are though my uncle had an older 1 it was a great rifle! I had a marlin 25 that was a really good shooter packed it for prolly 10 yrs shot and handled great especially for the 125 brand new dad bought it for when he upgraded me from my single shot. My current favorite is a cz 452 I bought after i got outta high school it cut the same hole outta the box open sights it's been a great rifle. I'm not a fan of synthetic but my uncle bought a ruger American and it shoot very good. He loves it I just don't like that type of gun!
