Best 22 LR

I will have to do some more thinking on this and I'll have to talk to the builder about it once we decide who we are going with. Thanks for the ideas. I'll probably also do some additional research on safe rooms.

I was actually thinking about using a windmill for electricity, but who knows how that will go over.

They have small windmill chargers that you could mount right to the roof. I just bought one(used for cheap) a couple of weeks ago. Haven't put it up yet. Have to get 3 or 4 deep cycle batteries. Going to use it for power in an outbuilding etc. Have a well on the place that has a solar powered pump(all in the barn) and not hooked up with no batteries. Haven't needed it but want to try to see how much water it will pump. It is mainly for watering cows. Don't even know if the panel charges. But I'm gonna find out. We are really dry here.

Back to the original subject matter of this post for just a minute....

When I get ready for that new 22 bolt action, I am leaning toward the new Weatherby Mark XXII. The original Mark XXII was a semi-auto, but the latest version (newly released) is a bolt gun.

It's a joint venture between Weatherby and Anschutz, with a traditional Weatherby stock (beautiful) and Anschutz action and barrel. All of the reviews have been very good, and the gun has been proven capable of shooting 1/2" groups at 50 yds. About $850 should do it, plus scope.

Thanks for all of your input.

In bolt actions, I have an old Winchester 52 that is a tack driver, but a little heavy even though it has the light target barrel. Next is a Ruger 77/22 that is a very accurate rifle. I wish it had a barrel that was a tad heavier. It likes Stingers but I usually shoot Winchester Power Points. (P-dog control). And since I gave two CZ452s to my grandsons, I have found they are very accurate. I am a bolt action fan, more of a sniper than spray and pray.
