What is the best .22 LR?
109009
i have 2 ruger 10/22s a remington 597 and a marlin model60. I agree you can deck out the 10/22 to look pretty sweet but anything over 10 round mags fail often and jamb frequently, acurracy is also an issue, the 597 is a nice rifle for the money but remington hasnt improved the magazine flaws yet thusly the jamb also the marlin model 60 BY FAR the most popular 22 LR in the world...more of them sold than any other very accurate I have owned mine for over 12 years and not once has it failed

Bound's hubby here:\n\nThe best round for your rifle is one that you have to identify through trial and error. Not every cartridge/bullet shoots the same way in every rifle. \n\nIf you are going to use your rifle for deer sized game it would be recommended that you use 150 grain to 165 grain bullets. Get a box of each weight from a number of manufacturers (such as Remington, Winchester, and Federal). \n\nFire a number of targets for each load at your selected distance (such as 100 yards). The load that shoots the tightest 3 or 5 shot groups should be the best cartridge for your rifle. Then buy as many boxes of that cartridge/bullet/manufacturer/lot number that you can afford. \n\nGood luck.

Great cartridge. Basically a souped up 44 special (longer case). While there are more powerful calibers available commercially, the 44 mag is an excellant handgun and rifle cartridge. I use if for deer hunting. Its effective range in a rifle is about 125 yards. In handguns, the 240 gr hollowpoint factory load is 1350fps with almost a thousand pounds of muzzle energy. Tell me that wont stop an advancing attacker.\n\nThe 454 Casull was introduced shortly after the 44 Remington Magnum in the mid to late 50's. The 475 Linebaugh is a wonderful little rig and briefly enjoyed the role as "most powerful handgun" status for a little while. Several other wildcat cartridges have come along and the big daddy of them all now is the Smith and Wesson 500.\n\nAll in all I'll keep my 44's for hunting and home defense.

my favorite in a handgun has to be a ruger vaquero 44 mag now i also like a colt commander in .45 acp. in rifles i buy cheap but what is cheap?im not going to purchase a kimber nor a weatherby. to much cash for a gret rifle and if it has that great looking barrel etching and the stock engraving why bother?i would probably be looking for anything that would scratch the rifle and harm the wood instead of hunting.i buy remington with the carbolite stock i have a few in the 700bdl and i dont have to be worried about marring the finish or scrstching the stock.a new custom stock for a 700BDL in the .300 magnum is roughly 359.00 but you add s/h to it will be over 400 bucks.this is a price from cabelas

Black bear are best taken (in my humble oppinion) with a .30-06 180 gr. Some good brands of ammo out there include Hornady's 180 gr with super shock Tip and Norma 200 gr oryx bonded for when you need just a bit more bang for your buck.

I go with a bolt action; Remington 700, Savage's model 16, or the model 10/110 also from Savage.  All rifles from Savage come from the factory ready for optic sights(scopes) and have the bbl floated(from the factory.  Floated bbl's are more acurate.  Don't look at price when looking for ammo.  You get what you pay for.  Premium ammo costs more but it shoots and performs better.  Save the cheap stuff for practice.  When it comes to caliber, here are my picks: .270 Winchester Short Magnum(my round of choice that I have killed 2 Caribou and a Dall Sheep in Alaska with; very fast, very accurate to well over 500 meters{I've done 1MOA goups at 800m durring practice a couple of times, it's hard to find a civillian range that has the ability and space to let you shoot past 200m.... big brother and I just went out into the AZ desert somewhere and shot}, enough ass to kill all game but Kodiak bear and probibly moose), .30-06 Springfield(old but old for a reason... IT WORKS!), .308 Winchester(7.62x51, the round of choice for precision Haji hunting and US med. machine guns), .300 Winchester Magnum(hits hard, shoots straight, requires getting used to the recoil, will kill anything, excellent round overall), .270 Winchester(another good all around cartiridge, it's kinda a small .30-06, been around for a while and that means ammo is readily available), and any variant of 7mm(accurate and powerful, but I don't have much experience with it.  I just know some guys that love it).  Don't go for any 7.62x39.  That round loses alot of ass/accuracy after 300 meters.  Train yourself to be surgical at 500 and you will be golden come hunting season.  It's the Indian not the arrow my friend.

depends on use \nfor paper just cheap solids will work or if ur into extreme accuracy try black hills ammo\nbut if for hunting or self defence go with fedral hydra shocks +p ammo

None.  They are too obvious and make too much noise, and there's no telling where the round will stop.\nA .22 handgun is concealable, quiet and the round stops where you want it too.

i would have to say the ak/sks hands down. no matter if there is mud or water or anything. rack a round and that sob will shoot. unlike the m-16/ar-15 there prone to more jams. my romanian ak has never jammed on me that wasn't my fault. such as not loading the rounds right or having the tip not over the follower. my dpms panther has to be babied after 300 rounds.i have to clean the bolt and receiver out to clear out the build up of powder.

My preferance between the two would be the .308.  There's a great deal of ammunition for this caliber in a wide range of bullet types and weights to suit any need you might ever have.  Since it is a standard NATO chambering (7.62mm), there is a great deal of cheap, high quality ammunition to practice with avalible. It is a very accurate cartridge and is capable of taking almost any large game in North America.  You can even hunt smaller game if you like by selecting a lower bullet weight loading. You can't go wrong with a .308 anyway you look at it!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nI think your selection of a Remington 700 is a good choice. Prices vary, ranging from $659 to $859, depending on which model you select (I have included the Remington link, which includes MSRP pricing). \n\nA bit above, someone mentioned something about the ."243, go with the 6mm Remington, and that you could also shoot the .243 in it". If that is what they said, it is wrong and dangerous. The cartridge case dimensions for the 6mm Remington and the .243 Winchester are very different!\n\nA quick (perhaps unwanted history) on the 6mms:\n\nThe .244 Remington was made with a 1x12" twist, and fired bullets up to 100 grains. Heavier than 100 grain bullets would not stabilize with the 1x12" twist.\n\nWinchester introduced the .243 Winchester to compete with the .244 Remington. The .243 was designed to be fired in rifles with 1x10" twist, which would stabilize bullets a little hevier than 100 grains ... up to I believe 120 grains.\n\nRemington saw the writing on the wall, and up-graded the .244 Remington and introduced it as a new cartridge, the 6mm Remington. The 6mm Remington was designed to be fired out of rifles with a 1x9" twist, which can stablilize slightly heavier bullets than the 120 grain ... The 6mm Remington had a slight advantage, in that its case dimensions were identical to the older .244 Remington, and these two cartridges are interchangeable! But neither are interchangeable with the .243 Winchester!\n\nWhich you go with depends entirely upon your needs and preferences. Both the 6mm Remington and the .243 Winchester are supposed to be lighter recoiling cartridges (lighter, relative to the .308 Winchester or the .30-06 Springfield)!\n\nGood luck!

Well you can't beat the good old .45 . The colt 1911 is a classic of form and function. It has great stopping power and is very reliable.\n\nAs for a rifle. I like the FN P90. It's a PDW (Personal Defense weapon). It is designed for rear line troops that do not need a full sized assault rifle. It has a great round cap, and range and power are nicely balanced.\n\nAs for machine guns look no further than the M60. Not really light weight but it can cover any range of jobs.\n\nAssault rifle. the HK G32 or G36. The highest quality at not too bad of a price.\n\nHope that helps.

Volquartsen makes a good receiver, regardless of what metal it's made of. If you're shooting off a bench, then it matters very little how heavy the receiver is. Get the stainless in that case; it's less expensive and will last longer. Of course, "longer" is measured in tens of thousands of rounds.\n\nBy the way, make sure you get the threaded receiver and marry it to a threaded barrel if you're talking about a 10/22 receiver. The original 10/22 is held together with this wedge that pulls the barrel into the receiver, but it's not a great fit. Threaded barrels take care of any slop and really improve your accuracy.

Rather than try to tell you about a rifle you didn't ask about, I'll tell you about the one you did ask about. I have 2 Bushmasters, the M17S (Bullpup) and the Patrolmans carbine M4A3, I've shot many of the varminters as well. You've made a good decision to get a Bushmaster, their rifles are unsurpassed and their customer service is outstanding. The varminters I've shot will give consistant -1 moa groups at 200 yards with a good scope. I've shot high end .223(Wilson combat) and low end .223 ( saiga) The bushmaster will outperform the saiga and will keep up with and often beat the wilson combat rifles.The varminter is of course an accurised weapon giving you, the shooter, the benefit of years of research done by Bushmaster.I highly recommend the Harris bipod if you plan on doing long distance target shooting. The varminter is by no means a combat rifle, it's intended purpose is highly accurate target shooting and of course, taking care of pesky varmints from a distance.Unlike the lower end .223's intended for combat accuracy, great care is given to each varminter to ensure accuracy and dependability.
