Default Only one 22LR

If you reduced your rimfire collection to one 22LR Rifle, would keep a Semi or a Bolt action.

I only own bolt actions and they are all match rifles.
When I was trapping I preferred a bolt action 22, either repeater or single shot

For a nice high end show piece, bolt action. But for gopher apocalypse, definitely semi auto.

If we are limited to bolt or semi it would be my CZ455, but my all time favourite and the one I would want if it was the only one is the Win. 9422 lever.

Default I use both regularly in the gopher patch

Bolt action for sheer versatility of ammo choices. Specifically the low velocity, quiet ammo that duplicates the performance and sound level of a mid-range air rifle. It doesn't bother the livestock.

Bolt all the way, got rid of my semi auto years ago. Very happy with the Remington 511 Scoremaster I acquired this year, so accurate with pretty much every ammunition I've tried in it that it gets borderline boring. Works very well as an understudy rifle for the Husqvarna rifles I use for most of my hunting. One day it will likely be the only .22 I own.

This is what I have done. T1X, T3 synthetic SS .223, T3X synthetic SS 6.5x55. The .223 & 6.5 both set up with the same scope. All three same trigger weight . Neat to able to grab anyone of them and they all feel the same. I’ve had CZ’s in each caliber wasn’t able to get them to shoot as tight. Take that with a grain of salt though as I’m far from being as good a shot a some.

Bolt 100%.....

I had a semi and it jammed so often; 3/5 with all ammo available and it was very unreliable. Never got past that and I am a bolt fan, all the way.....and single shots.

Good luck,

Thanks for all of your recommendations. The 1022 is such a popular choice for so many people, but I too always choose the bolt action and enjoy it more. Ill give it some more pondering, but the safequeen 1022 may be going away...

CZ 452 bolt....455 would work as well...As for the Tikka being the new CZ? IF the .22 shoots as well as their .17 It would be a very nice rifle..no CZ but a very nice rifle.
