What’s the most accurate CHEAP .22 you have found?

[DaveTN]

You ain't too old for that! Heck I'm still shooting in these .22 LR competitions even! It just takes a little more magnification, with the right rifle and ammo of course!

I may have to come down there with my $150 rifle and show you what's up.

I've got a 597 that I paid $100 for at a pawn shop that is junk. I could throw bullets and be just a accurate.

I dont shoot competition, but my older Marlin 66, Bushnell 3x9 is pretty dang accurate out to 50yrds. Mainly varmint shooting, headshots not a problem groundhogs, skunks. I do use it for my family training, my young nephew with sharp eyes and steady hands can make that thing shoot like a way higher priced setup. I start young shooters out on my single shot remmie 22 (my first gun - so it is OLD) bolt action open sights. I use the Marlin for initial semi-auto/scoped training.

You should give it to me for free. Then I'd have the full range of 597's. How cool would that be?

Winchester Wildcat auto rifle. Gotta learn to manage that trigger, kinda take up the slack and use it like a 2 stage but they are surprising.

I have the Winchester Xpert. It shoots pretty good. Not pencil eraser good but definitely half dime size groups

I don't compete either, but I've shot with mup once or twice and got my butt handed to me. My gun is capable, but my ammo and scope choice is not.

Those boys that @MUP shoots with can't hold a candle me and my last place finishes. Lowest score wins right?

I'd give you a good run for last place

I did my time at the bottom for sure! . It's been a journey just to get to where I could just be in contention to place at any given match with those guys! It rough shooting against the Vudoos and RimX rifles for sure!

I picked up a mossberg 702 on here and it's more accurate than my stock 10/22. I think it is largely dependent on ammo choice and what you are trying to accomplish.

Field accuracy is diff than competition.

10/22 or 702 or a model 60 is gonna kill game all day w CCI mini mags.

I paid $99 for a marlin bolt gun 6-7 years ago. Slapped a $30 tasco from Walmart on it and although I've never tried to kill a pencil eraser with it, it's killed a ton of rats, groundhogs, squirrels and rabbits without ever needing adjusting. It's propped in the corner of my barn with a latex glove over the barrel and one over the scope.
