Couldn’t believe no mention of the marlin 25N. Bought one for my son 40 years ago and liked it so much, bought another for myself. We’ve put thousands of rounds through them and now my granddaughter and her dad use them. I agree completely with the Henry 001. Bought one for my granddaughter before she could crawl. It’s a nail driver and I know she’ll cherish it for life. Nothing says merry Christmas like a Henry under the tree.
I've had a Marlin Model 60 for 25 years. Still shoots as good as the the day I bought it. My Walther Hammerli Tac R1 is one of the most dead on and best out of the box experience I've ever had. The Walther is hard to beat. It cost 350 USD, but man, it can hit center target at 100 feet with no special sites.
I'm part of the Marlin Model 60 Preservation Society. Been collecting many of the older ones to try and keep them from falling into neglect and disrepair. Micro-groove forever!
@@panzerabwerkanone since you know so much about them, mine was picked up in 1996 and I bought it new at Walmart. It has a 14+1 capacity and it has some sort of bronze symbol on the stock. What does the symbol mean anyway? Mine has been with me for over 26 years now.
I have a 1965 Marlin model 39A, I got it for my 9th birthday, it is one of the most accurate rifles I own, I also have a Henry .22 mag with the longer barrel, shot pickles off of a electric fence post at 100 yrs. Love them
@@annamckinney6622 My dad gave me his Marlin 39 when I was 5 yrs. old (1957 ) I loved that gun then around 1965 it and other guns were stolen when someone broke in to our house. I now have a newer model 39AS and i love it but still miss the older one
I bought a Ruger 10-22 back in the 70's for under $60. I finally put a scope on it a couple of years ago. Probably more game (rabbits, squirrels, etc) has been taken with the 22 than any other caliber. Today it's my go to gun to put food on the table. This video gets a 0 from me!
You left out the Marlin 39A, the Winchester model 63, the best semi automatic .22 ever made, the Remington Nylon 66, the Ruger 10-22, and the Browning T-Bolt, either old or new.
Great list. Love my .22lr. Value wise the CZ’s are second to none. U spend a little more but quality feels like the really high end rifles that are 5 times as much. All these little manual operations guns make u a better shooter in a fun way!
I have a Remington model 34. My grandfather gave it to me when I was nine years old in '69. Still in great condition. Stock iron sights. Depending on what you read, it was manufactured between 1927 and 1934. Collected a lot of game with it as a youngster. All my kids and grandkids learned to shoot with it. Wouldn't trade it for all of them in your list. Good list though. A lot of good rifles.
It was a ground breaking design making nylon reinforced plastic a viable gun material. I learned to shoot on one, but it wasn't that great in the quality or accuracy departments. You mounted a scope on the flimsy sheet metal receiver cover and all that flex between the barrel, nylon stock/receiver and cover was a nightmare for accuracy.
I wouldn't mind having a model 60 but they have a few serious weak points, the 10/22 is a much better rifle in basically every way but model 60s are definitely accurate and personally I like the tube mag, they're both classics for sure
I got mine for my 9th birthday 1965, Marlin golden 39a, still have it, my son learned how to shoot with it, in my opinion - better than anything on this list, the rest of those are junk in comparison.
Firearms community, I think we can all sense this video was not put together by an experienced firearms user. The top 10 criteria here is not defined, as in most accurate? Most sold? Most use able? Regardless though, we know the editor has not chosen any of the 3 criteria scopes I have mentioned. The most compelling sign of this video being made up hog wash, how could any general top 10 list not carry the ruger 10/22? Placing the ruger American and ruger precision ahead of it in a general top 10 list is nonsense.
This channel clearly just stiches together random advert videos they find on youtube into lists in no particular order of relevance to get the views bruh; it is what it is.
@The Trashman Ruger and Henry fans. I have savages CZ an Vudoo .22s and two of those three are not even on the list. Also absent is the Begara B14 which is considered a low cost Vudoo. This videos was a commercial, a poorly conceived, poorly executed commercial.
CAN'T believe that the ruger 10/22 is not mentioned since it would outlast any of the others that's just a fact ,have one that is 40+ and still shooting can not say the same for our Henry or marlin 22's and no one has an aftermarket following like the 10/22
I like my Henry 22.... besides the appearance, it is light weight, very reliable. The Henry can also shoot shorts and longs.. I had a Ruger 10/22 but I gave it to one of my sons. I have two marlins, semi auto...... one is the classic 60 squirrel gun, and the other is an M1 style Marlin, interesting design, with the same mechanism of the 60. it looks a lot like the Ruger, shorter, 12 shots LR. My Henry has a basic scope, and I find it very accurate. Even with regular sights is good. I use my Henry more than my others.
My 795 is very accurate, runs any ammo, and holds the bolt open last round. Oh, and mags are easy to load and eject. 10/22's need mods to do most of those things.... Do you even shoot anything?
@@thewatcher611 You're comparing a Marlin model 60 with a dm ,to the 10/22?! Btw, it doesn't need mods.People choose to do so.I have one bone stock that's 35 years old.One that's about 5 yrs old,and has been fully upgraded. The mags for the ruger are just as easy to use ,and come in a varity of capacities.Does the 795? I also shoot Bergara,Tikka, Savage, S&W, and CZ With all of those.To me.The Ruger 10/22 is King. Marlin......not so much.Sorry.
After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!
I have a couple of Remington's model 12 & 12c pumps, both are 100 years old and still shoot great, but I would have to say my favorite gun to shoot are my Marlin 39A's great accuracy from both the Remington's and the Marlin's and all are fun to shoot...
I was very disappointed I didn't see several manufacturers on the list‼️ I thought for sure I would see the Begara, Vorer, Volquartsen, Styer, Mauser🎯🎯🎯
Where is the model 60 and the Remington 550-1 both of them are amazing 22s. Them other ones were to fancy for me. Lol I like the old school rifles. Good video
The rossi 22lr lever action is a good runner up. The price, quality, design, reliability, and accuracy is a bargain for anyone trying to get into an affordable option. Plus it has adjustable sights. It's pretty much a tactical henry but lighter and all black with polymer. Plus you wont worry about ruining the rifle since its not something that pretty. Its function over form. I love Henry rifles but they really need to make a tactical version with better sights.
I wish I had my Uncles single 28 gauge I used as a kid. Since then I’ve learned Remington only made 500 of them. Should have spoken up when he passed away, as my cousin would have given it or me. Someone in Ca. was lucky enough to get it after his death.
When I was a kid I used to shoot competitively, I had a really nice Anschutz 180, and I swear to god, if you bolted that rifle down you could put 10 shots into a single hole at up to 50 yds. I won 3 high-gun trophies with it, turkey shoots, you name it. Super accurate.
Marlin 60 should have made the list before any Henrys but i do love my H001. It would be a great bare bones shtf gun that would afford you to carry lots of light weight ammo but force you to hone your shot placement in order to take down almost any game.
I'm glad you mentioned the Marlin 60. I got mine in 1977 when I was 13 and a box of ammo was ,50 cents. I recently restored it to better than factory new but it has an awful trigger. The factory trigger was 7 lbs, after replacing it with the Mcarbo trigger spring kit it is 6 lbs. Do you have any tips for reducing the pull weight? I compete with a custom shop Anschutz 1710 carbon trainer with a 10 ounce trigger. I know it can never get there but 3 lbs would be nice.
@@turdferguson5300 Nice gun, and no, I don’t have any tips for reducing the pull. Mine is a 1996 NRA commemorative and 100 percent stock. Stepdad bought it new when i was 16. I inherited it when i was 30.
I have a Winchester 9422 which, by the serial number, was built in America in 1972. Smoothest lever gun you could want. I also have a Marlin 39, and the Winchester is a much smoother gun to shoot. I don't dislike the Marlin, it belonged to my great grandfather, but the Winchester is a much better rifle in my opinion.
Yes, very smooth ime. Marlin lever guns not so much, very rough mechanical feeling action the last I checked one in-person. Your 9422 is a really nice .22...fit and finish, overall quality a cut above.
And just like the great saying, “ and that’s your opinion” about the best 22 rifles. I have a lot of “second” best 22 rifles, but, “that’s my opinion!” Great vlog, thanks for posting.
I love my Ruger 10/22. It does everything, and does it very well. That said, I'd rather shoot my Winchester 1894 lever in 22. Unbelievably accurate with open sights out to 100+ yards. Yeah a bit heavier with that beautifully polished wood stock, so pretty. Never will part with this wonderful creation, well unless SHTF and unfortunately it's pried from my cold dead fingers...
Finally! a video that tests the accuracy of a Henry lever action with a scope mounted and a competent marksman squeezing the trigger. So glad to see this result. I wanted to see proof that the Henry could consistently hit the head of a squirrel at 50 yards. You gave it to me. Thank you. Now, I have to practice with mine until I can do the same. 😀
The shape of the Henry stock is more conducive to using the iron sites, making it hard to get a decent and consistent cheek weld when using a scope. I use a leather cheek riser on mine and it’s improved my precision and accuracy. The brown leather also looks right at home on a classic wooden lever gun.
Unless things have changed, ammo prices have skyrocketed. I used to buy a 500 round brick for like $20-$30. Last I checked, they’re like $100. It’s bananas.
savage b22 i just watched shoot a quarter inch ten shot group at 50yds, he mounted a scope sighted it in and in under an hour .25 inch groups at 50yds with plain ol 22 standard velocity cci ammo, just amazing.
22LR rifles need to be simple and reliable.. Not heavy with stupid heavy barrels and muzzle brakes or Ar15 looks.. .. Lightweight, dovetailed and good trigger.. Most are good enough out to 75m with is a realistic maximum for 22lr.. Marlin lever guns are among the best, great barrels.. They hold a lot and are reliable.. Anschutz make great barrels and triggers for a bolt action.. Ruger make the best semi auto out there.. Add a scope no bigger than 9x power.. Leupold rimfire scopes are great..
It depends what you are using the piece for. I started shooting in 1947 and have owned several models of firearms. When I was in my shooting peak, I participated in SB Rifle Silhouette matches. The last two rifles I used were: In SB standard rifle, I used an Anschütz 54-18MS, the most accurate .22 rifle I have ever owned, with an 18X40 power Leupold scope. For Hunter Class, I used an Anschütz 1700, toped with a Leupold 6 /12 X 20. I won the OK State SB Rifle Championship with that combo. I took off the 6/12 scope and replaced it with a Leupold 3/12X10, which I think is the best for all around
Like many red blooded Americans I had a Marlin 60 growing up. Now when it got time to replace the 60 I opted for a Marlin . 22 XT bolt action. Cost $187.00 and shoots great.
Amen, it was my first 22 that i bought back in 1963 at 15 years old, $59 best I remember. I still have it and it still shoots short or longs mixed just as good as first day that I bought it....
My question, when is someone going to build a quality 22LR bolt with a slide bolt adjacent to the European hunting rifle? rifles that do not require that the bolt be lifted to charge? Any input?
I have 3 22's. Remington 581s,my Bolt rifle, 10/22 "International" my semi auto, and a Charter Arms "Pathfinder" Revolver, 4 inch, 8 shot DA/SA With 2 summers behind me, looking over to the counter I see 14 empty 100 round plastic 22 boxes, and I know I have shot a tad more 22's. This is a HOBBY, I like to shoot. So it seems that the 22 is great if you like to shoot....... a lot. With the 581 from the bench, 100 yards, a 1.46 inch 5 shot group, on a 9 inch paper plate. 2 of the 5 hits were on top of each other, 2 in the same hole. Cool. To step it up a bit I also have 2 357 magnum firearms. A Charter Arms 4 inch "Bulldog" revolver and a "Traditions" Rifle. This is a single shot break action 22 inch Rifle, with a 3x9x40 scope on top. I handload for the 357's.
My .22 go to (I also have a Ruger Precision 22, and M&P AR22) is still my Remington 552 Speedmaster. Never once had a legitimate issue out of it and it’s pushing 60 years old.
I use a Bruno model 2 1957! Still very accurate and reliable! ???? Well could be better but is magazine issue! LoL also check out the new Australian made Lithgow!
I just keep my old steven's model 87 A ITS MY to go hunting gun . it shots 22 short- long- long rifle it has never let me down or jammed up in 42 years it was used by me dad before me . I had 22 in rugger and marlin but I always go back to the steven 's

You left out the best gun of all the Remington Nylon 66 with a scope
Do they ship in Philippines sir?
I can't believe that you left out the Ruger 10-22, it's only the most popular rim-fire ever designed.
And bolt action precision 22lr beats out the 10/22? Horse crap! You ain't making a kill at 500 yards with an lr22 what a complete waste lol
Technically the 10-22 takedown is still a 10-22, and it’s my preferred model.
@@bothetinman772
Mine too.
He has been living under a rock.
Easily one of the most customizable 22 rifles made, the 10/22 works fine out of the box, but can be tailored to almost any role.
The Ruger 10/22 should have been on the list. It's an amazing 22lr rifle.
Damn straight
Its on the printed list under the authors comments. They just didn't show it. Love that rifle.
If for no other reason, all the aftermarket stuff that’s available for the 10/22
Yeah but thats a given
Yeah, really not much of a reason to buy any other .22 over the 10/22
"...22LR is affordable and readily available..." where?
Ny and many other states! I have 4,500 rounds of 22lr
Federal ammo website drops 800rnd packs most mornings. Sells out by 8am but none the less available most days
Exactly just like he said the prices are in link in description. Fduck lying adss piece of shat just farming views and money

I have a marlin XT22 mag, it’s the best little farm rifle I’ve ever owned
When I was a kid I used to shoot competitively, I had a really nice Anschutz 180, and I swear to god, if you bolted that rifle down you could put 10 shots into a single hole at up to 50 yds. I won 3 high-gun trophies with it, turkey shoots, you name it. Super accurate.
Pretty cool gun on the thumbnail that can shoot 45-70 and .22 long rifle in the same chamber. Who makes that? Hi-Point?
I also want to know the thumbnail gun... this video will certainly not tell you... this video is a scam.
You left out the ruger 10/22 ?
Marlin 60 should have made the list before any Henrys but i do love my H001. It would be a great bare bones shtf gun that would afford you to carry lots of light weight ammo but force you to hone your shot placement in order to take down almost any game.
I'm glad you mentioned the Marlin 60. I got mine in 1977 when I was 13 and a box of ammo was ,50 cents. I recently restored it to better than factory new but it has an awful trigger. The factory trigger was 7 lbs, after replacing it with the Mcarbo trigger spring kit it is 6 lbs. Do you have any tips for reducing the pull weight? I compete with a custom shop Anschutz 1710 carbon trainer with a 10 ounce trigger. I know it can never get there but 3 lbs would be nice.
@@turdferguson5300 Nice gun, and no, I don’t have any tips for reducing the pull. Mine is a 1996 NRA commemorative and 100 percent stock. Stepdad bought it new when i was 16. I inherited it when i was 30.
I've had my Marlin model 60, for 4 decades. !!!
Which one is used for the thumbnail?
How did you not suggest the ruger 10-22 and the AR-7
I have a Winchester 9422 which, by the serial number, was built in America in 1972. Smoothest lever gun you could want. I also have a Marlin 39, and the Winchester is a much smoother gun to shoot. I don't dislike the Marlin, it belonged to my great grandfather, but the Winchester is a much better rifle in my opinion.
Yes, very smooth ime. Marlin lever guns not so much, very rough mechanical feeling action the last I checked one in-person. Your 9422 is a really nice .22...fit and finish, overall quality a cut above.
No longer made, But Remington Had a very Good Semi Auto Nylon 66.
Super reliable. Great rifle IMO.
what rifle is the one in the thumbnail?
What about browning t-bolt.
And just like the great saying, “ and that’s your opinion” about the best 22 rifles. I have a lot of “second” best 22 rifles, but, “that’s my opinion!” Great vlog, thanks for posting.
What's the gun in the cover photo?
Browning 22lr leaver best for me.
I love my Ruger 10/22. It does everything, and does it very well. That said, I'd rather shoot my Winchester 1894 lever in 22. Unbelievably accurate with open sights out to 100+ yards. Yeah a bit heavier with that beautifully polished wood stock, so pretty. Never will part with this wonderful creation, well unless SHTF and unfortunately it's pried from my cold dead fingers...
I agree, the 94 22 Winchester is the best and most accurate lever action built. I also agree on the Ruger 10/22.
For accuracy, the Winchester’s 52 and 75, for camping convenience the Henry AR-7, for plinking fun the 10/22.
AWESOME VIDEO , THANKS! HOW DO YOU TURN CAPS LOCK OFF ?!
Press the button that has an arrow going down.
I have a Savage 22lr rifle and it's just as good as any other 22 rifle
My go to is a Remington 510 target master
It shoots holes in holes
Finally! a video that tests the accuracy of a Henry lever action with a scope mounted and a competent marksman squeezing the trigger. So glad to see this result. I wanted to see proof that the Henry could consistently hit the head of a squirrel at 50 yards. You gave it to me. Thank you. Now, I have to practice with mine until I can do the same. 😀
The shape of the Henry stock is more conducive to using the iron sites, making it hard to get a decent and consistent cheek weld when using a scope. I use a leather cheek riser on mine and it’s improved my precision and accuracy. The brown leather also looks right at home on a classic wooden lever gun.
@@jeffwy5164 Good tip.
I love my marlin xt-22, henry lever and 10/22 best little plinkers and hunting rifles on the list
Unless things have changed, ammo prices have skyrocketed. I used to buy a 500 round brick for like $20-$30. Last I checked, they’re like $100. It’s bananas.
22lr never went up in my town, I can still get 500 rd bricks for 20ish bucks
I've seen federal 800 round bricks for 140 dollars ..crazy
I love my AR 7 Henry!
Id love to have one one day
@@bygodfreeman go buy one man, is great survival tool, cost only little over $200
What brand and model is the gun in thumbnail?
Top best 22 magnum rifle?
savage b22 i just watched shoot a quarter inch ten shot group at 50yds, he mounted a scope sighted it in and in under an hour .25 inch groups at 50yds with plain ol 22 standard velocity cci ammo, just amazing.
Mentioning best .22lr rifles without anschutz, marlin 39, finnfire etc and many more better than the ones here,
Anschütz make the worlds best rifles. You get what you pay for. Also what you feed the piece , is what get.
Ruger 22 Lr still my favorit
What model is on the title page
22LR rifles need to be simple and reliable.. Not heavy with stupid heavy barrels and muzzle brakes or Ar15 looks.. ..
Lightweight, dovetailed and good trigger.. Most are good enough out to 75m with is a realistic maximum for 22lr..
Marlin lever guns are among the best, great barrels.. They hold a lot and are reliable.. Anschutz make great barrels and triggers for a bolt action.. Ruger make the best semi auto out there..
Add a scope no bigger than 9x power.. Leupold rimfire scopes are great..
It depends what you are using the piece for. I started shooting in 1947 and have owned several models of firearms. When I was in my shooting peak, I participated in SB Rifle Silhouette matches. The last two rifles I used were: In SB standard rifle, I used an Anschütz 54-18MS, the most accurate .22 rifle I have ever owned, with an 18X40 power Leupold scope. For Hunter Class, I used an Anschütz 1700, toped with a Leupold 6 /12 X 20. I won the OK State SB Rifle Championship with that combo. I took off the 6/12 scope and replaced it with a Leupold 3/12X10, which I think is the best for all around
I’ve got a Winchester model 67, 1932. It was my grandfathers. It’s a great shooting little rifle.
What is the .22 in the thumbnail?
CZ any day.
Like many red blooded Americans I had a Marlin 60 growing up. Now when it got time to replace the 60 I opted for a Marlin . 22 XT bolt action. Cost $187.00 and shoots great.
I have squibman .22 semi atomatic riffle. My dad bought it in the 80's and i was not yet born at that time.
Its very accurate and easy to use.
Remington 552, Anschutz?
Remington speedmaster. Short and lr. Damn fine rifle.
Amen, it was my first 22 that i bought back in 1963 at 15 years old, $59 best I remember. I still have it and it still shoots short or longs mixed just as good as first day that I bought it....
Great rifle
I don't know about best, but an old favorite is my Remington Model 511 bolt action.
My question, when is someone going to build a quality 22LR bolt with a slide bolt adjacent to the European hunting rifle? rifles that do not require that the bolt be lifted to charge? Any input?
i have several henrys and great shooters they are!! there not as good as the 9422 winchester though!!!
I have 3 22's.
Remington 581s,my Bolt rifle, 10/22 "International" my semi auto, and a Charter Arms "Pathfinder" Revolver, 4 inch, 8 shot DA/SA
With 2 summers behind me, looking over to the counter I see 14 empty 100 round plastic 22 boxes, and I know I have shot a tad more 22's.
This is a HOBBY, I like to shoot. So it seems that the 22 is great if you like to shoot....... a lot.
With the 581 from the bench, 100 yards, a 1.46 inch 5 shot group, on a 9 inch paper plate. 2 of the 5 hits were on top of each other, 2 in the same hole. Cool.
To step it up a bit I also have 2 357 magnum firearms. A Charter Arms 4 inch "Bulldog" revolver and a "Traditions" Rifle. This is a single shot break action 22 inch Rifle, with a 3x9x40 scope on top.
I handload for the 357's.
Nylon 66, I have two!
What is the gun in the thumbnail please
Love my ruger precision rimfire. I would choose it over all of them.
Because I recently purchased one I’ll have to say the Remington speed master .
what about the Winchester model 94 lever action
My .22 go to (I also have a Ruger Precision 22, and M&P AR22) is still my Remington 552 Speedmaster. Never once had a legitimate issue out of it and it’s pushing 60 years old.
I agree, mine has been my favorite for 45 years.
I really like my speedmaster and it shoots great with the iron sites
I use a Bruno model 2 1957! Still very accurate and reliable! ???? Well could be better but is magazine issue! LoL also check out the new Australian made Lithgow!
Love my model 5 from '58. Still a great shooter !
10:30 love it
Love it!
Remington Nylon 66 hands down the best 👍🏻

Love it. 🌹🌹🌹👍
You can.t beat a WIN.22 Mag. Lever Action the best 22 ever made////////..
