killer_pigeon Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Hi just got my Variation for a .22LR back from Police in a record 6 days, posted last monday got licence though today !!!! Brill so i need to get out an buy another xmas pressie for me asap !!!!! Just need some honest opinions on which gun to buy. It will be used for vermin control mainly and i have got it down to 3 makes that look \ feel good. Ruger 10\22 Sako quad varmint or finnfire Browning T bolt I was looking to buy a synthetic stock so it probably takes Browning out of equation as i have seen the other 2 in black synthetic. I deffo dont want a CZ but dont know what the BRNO is like. any help much appreciated, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 The 10/22 gets my vote. You can customise from now to infinity, they're Far more accurate than people say and a whole lotta fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC45 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I found the Mauser to be more accurate than the Ruger. I have not shot the others you mention. Why don't you want the CZ? My father loves his. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 funny enough i`d go for bolt action.less bother and more accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer_pigeon Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 i didnt like the trigger or feel of the CZ in general, i'm sure its a good enough gun but it wasnt really for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember him have the trigger mod done, I think they done it for free as he bought a quality scope too. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC45 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 For what it's worth, I'm saving for the Weihrauch HW60J. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 The 10/22 gets my vote.

Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 101 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 CZ Varmint one of the best rifles you could ever wish to own , as for the trigger you can change the spring for a lighter one or you can get a trigger kit for about £12 . Probably the most popular makes of bolt action .22 around . As for the price you get a lot of gun for your money . I cant speak for the Browning , but the CZ will out shoot the other two . A BRNO is the same as a CZ as the CZ design was taken from BRNO . Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbus Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Hia buddy. You cant get much better than the 10/22 for an allrounder and there is no end of bits out there 4 tweaking um up to you requirments. Had them for years nothing to it stripping either, do it blind folded. Chubbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer_pigeon Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 somebody mentioned a Marlin rifle to me also , anybody have any experience of these ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toombsy Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) The T-bolt is available with a synthetic stock. But I expect you'll have to order one. It comes with a 10-shot magazine in the gun, and a spare magazine inside the stock - great idea I reckon. Click HERE for info. I am well pleased with my T-Bolt - it comes up really well, it's not too heavy, the trigger's nice and light and it's incredibly accurate. Lovely rifle that will probably be worth something if I decide to trade in/sell it Edited December 20, 2009 by Toombsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toombsy Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Oh yeah I don't have the synthetic stock version - instead got the walnut stock. IMHO that's even better looking, but not quite as 'functional' as the synthetic model that can be thrown around, pushed through bushes and treat a little more 'unkind' if you like. But above it's looks it's incredibly accurate and really quick to use with the straight pull bolt and 10 bullet clip. I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigglet Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 A finnfire or Quad will probably hold their value better than any of the others. What about anschutz? They are a superbly accurate carbine with a great trigger. Are you looking for new or second hand? Is it your first foray into powder burners? You can shorten a 22lr barrel to 13" inches with no loss of performance or accuracy. It will make it more useable if shooting from a vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Yep, BUT: not sure if they do a synthetic, they do on the 22wmr which I have and it looks awful so I got the laminated, well worth a look.Good luck this is gonna be my next purchase for my 10/22 ok, im joking, but not much beats a 10/22 imo, especially when it comes to upgrades and accessories. yes, theyre maybe not quite as accurate as a bolt action (though im usually taking 80 yard headshots with mine now), and theyre slightly more fiddly to give a full strip down, but believe me youll never get bored of a 10/22 for starters, and once you get the hang of it youll never look at another .22lr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will make it more useable if shooting from a vehicle I was really looking for new or almost new with minimal use not many anschutz .22lr in the local gunshops, i think they stick with the best sellers, so havent yet seen one to try them. Barrel length no problem as i always use it while walking never in a vehicle. plus girlfriend not too happy last time i took her fiesta out and got it stuck in a field and covered in mud.
