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.

I have a sweet 50th anniversary Cabelas special edition Ruger 10/22 that I’ll be keeping but fighting the temptation of a Tikka T1X is getting harder and harder.

One semi and one bolt.
Or just a bolt. Because the action stays cleaner. Less jambs. Shoot different kinds of ammo.

I was set on semi. I have a Remington 597 HB that I think is pretty accurate. Then I picked up a Savage MKII bolt, I'll take that all day. I still really like my 597, but I like the bolt actions.

Given the choices, probably a bolt. I do like the BL22 though....

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.

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,

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.

Lol. Seriously?

My cows don't even look up if I let the .308 rip.

Bolt gun for me. Cz 452.
Semi's are fine, but I go through a lot more ammo. A lot more.

But seriously; one 22 rifle?
