I took my son’s Remington 511 to the range yesterday. Big mistake. Now I need a 22 of my own.
I’ll hunt with it, so it will be out in the rain. Stainless/synthetic would be nice but are not mandatory.
It will get a scope, probably a 4x Leupold.
I’d like for it to be accurate out of the box. The 511 made a couple of sub 1” groups at 50 yards with a couple of loads, which was nice, but I won’t compete with it.
Either bolt or semi would be fine.
Widely available magazines would be ideal so the various Rugers catch my eye. Not a fan of tube magazines.
Top end is around $500 for the rifle but I’m a sucker for the $189 pawnshop special.
Should I just get a 511 like his?
Other thoughts?
