Answer 5

(Q. Best model in the 22. LR?

(A. Best is very subjective. It would help if you gave a bit more information what you mean by best.

Best value would probably be something from Savage, like the Mk II/Stevens 300 or the model 64. Or maybe a Marlin model 60. They deliver surprisingly good accuracy for under $150.

Best accuracy from a sporting rifle might be a Kimber 82C, Sako Finnfire, or maybe a Marlin 39A, all of which have reputations for shooting extremely tight groups when competent shooters are pulling the trigger.

For best accuracy period, you're looking at a custom target rifle from someone like Anschütz who specializes in Olympic class target rifles.

Most customizable would probably be the Ruger 10/22 which has a huge aftermarket accessories list.

Answer 6

Best is a subjective term so you're going to get a lot of opinions. I really like my Ruger 10/22. They are inexpensive, reliable, easy to clean and there are boat loads of after market accessories to really make it suit your personal style.

Answer 7

In my not so humble and entirely prejudiced opinion, the very best .22 LR rifle on the market is the Marlin Model 39.

I've had my Golden Model 39-A since 1977.  You could not pack all the small game and varmints it has killed into a railroad boxcar.  And I've used it to embarrass guys shooting expensive European Target Rifles.  As a regular production repeating .22 rifle, they don't come better than the Marlin M-39.

BTW, the Marlin M-39 has been in continuous production, under two or three different model names, since 1893.  So apparently, I'm not the only one to think them the best of .22's.
