scorpius Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 I have just purchased a cheap Browning Pump Action .22 LR (£80) I now realise that you get what you pay for, I will try and return it to the shop because even at 30 yds the rounds are all over the place. I have a 17HMR what a fantastic gun, I am no great shot but at 100 yds it's very accurate. My question is can those more experienced than me advise me on what should I expect to pay for a reliable accurate 22LR, and any makes to look for. Thanking you.

walshie Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 CZ if you want bolt action or Ruger if you want semi-auto. Just my opinion mind. Should be able to get either second hand for under £200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieT Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 You will get a Brno model 2 for around a £100. One of the best and most reliable and accurate .22's ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Heaps of decent relible brno's or CZ's out there, esp if ur not wanting owt fancy. Think i paid 60 quid for mine god knows how long ago (must be 10 yrs+) and that was with a scope and mod. Never missed a beat and still going strong but its no looker thou. Might not be able to with ur FAC conditions (althou u will be going for a 1 for 1 anyway) but try to stick to a bolt action, very little to go wrong and operate sliently unlike SA's Ps I doubt it will be as easy as returning it to the shop and picking up a new 1, as ur licence with have to go back and wait for it to be taken of ur licence to free up the slot, completely bonkers really nd can take months in some areas. Also i take it u have double checked the scope/swapped it out, checked mounts, checked barrels floating, checked stock srews are tight and even tried a few different brands of bullets. Could easily be any of the above or ur rifle could be ****? but 22's are usually fairly bomb proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammo Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 If I ever buy another .22lr, it will be secondhand. So many great bargains out there! Would go for a Browning Tbolt or CZ 452 / 455 Hammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry136 Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 On a related note, does anyone know if its possible to fit a heavy bull barrel to a HK416 .22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipdog Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 buy a new cz for £400 and you will never need another 22lr in your lifetime! Yes there are more refined rifles but there is no more popular rifle in benchrest and Africa than a CZ, in both scenarios accuracy and reliably counts..... speaks for itself.

scotslad Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Must admit buying a new 22lr is a complete waste of money, usually a bolt action cz or brno are just about bomb proof and usually u don't have any accuracy issues with the barel the way u can with other calibres either cf or faster rf. Even an older 2nd hand bolt action cz or brno would prob last most folks life time really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kory1986 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) On a related note, does anyone know if its possible to fit a heavy bull barrel to a HK416 .22? I doubt it m8 as it has one of those pencil thin barrels under a barrel sheath check it out on youtube that's why I went with the m&P 15-22 nice thick barrel on it also isn't the barrel attached to the bolt assembly. if you haven't striped it I think you should look on you tube a channel called G&A guns and accessories channel has a very in detail review off your rifle hk416 vs m&P 15-22 I think. on a different note to the op get a cz 452 fella they are solid rifles I got a 10-22 15-22 and 452 and the 452 is my favourite rifle out the bunch Edited October 29, 2016 by kory1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 ZKM 452 or Mod2 - pretty much the same gun, cheap as chips but every bit as tasty, had mine 20+ years and still looks/shoots like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpius Posted October 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 To those members that offered constructive advice I thank you, to those that criticised the "font" being unable to read, for future reference please assist by stating the acceptable font size, and any other changes that I should make. To the member that suggested that I was just being "posh" I treat that comment with the contempt it deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I've bought a mod2 Brno for £100 then had it chopped to 16" for £30 . Had a trigger kit at £14 and it's awesomely accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 My apologies scorpius,, I have just completed a "Diversity and Equality" Training day so I now fully understand that not all banter is received as that. It was a tongue in cheek comment very much like putting a 60amp fuse in your lighting. Anyway back on topic, For what you paid you cant really grumble if you have any ratting you could try shot shells, you may not have a target rifle but you do have a cheap knock about ratting rifle. Have you tried a selection of different ammo ? you may find one that does a little or allot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
