Thumbs up Best 22 bolt action

fortune,

Right on with your post! Wish we could all burn these comments into our brains once and for all. I compete in SB silhouette and am often asked what is the best rifle. I usually tell them to pick any decent rifle, experiment with different ammo and put a good scope on it. We see good scores from competitors using Ruger 10/22s, Savage MKIVs, Rem 581s, Rem 541-S/Ts, CZ452s and of course various Anschutz models. Target or hunting. It is all the same.

The same goes for centerfire hunting rifles. Gun writers tend to spin stories about their successful hunts and often imply that only certain brand of rifle in a certain caliber would have worked for their particular quarry. Makes me so ill that I go back to reading Jack O'Connor's stories.
