I know, that drives me nuts about him sometimes. Talk about how everyone can get a bolt action and then mention one maybe two that the average person can afford or find. I recently purchased a ruger precision for around 400. Likely the most I will ever spend on a rimfire.
@@chrisschmidt6687 that’s a great rimfire rifle, my old man has all three... won them at banquets Edit- he asks me to fire them all, my opinion... fun!
Let’s face it. Shooting is a hobby and people spend what they feel is of value in support of ‘their’ hobby. I’m a retired guy who on;u picked up shooting a few years ago. My first rifle was a Vudoo on the MPA chassis and it’s a gem. My second is a 6.5 Creed from Cadex Defence, also a gem. I prefer spending more to ensure 1/2 MOA or better groupings.

Lol, I was thinking something very similar... Top 5 "entry level 22 bolt rifle". I'm looking to buy my first rifle... I'd pay up to $900 -1k if justified, but certainly looking at the cheaper ones right now.
My grandfather gave me my first 22 when I was 10 years old. A Steven's Buckhorn model 66B bolt action. Shoots 22short, long, and long rifle ammo. They were produced between 1931 and 1935. I'm 50 now and have taught countless young people to shoot with it. My daughters love that rifle.
I have a “old” Marlin bolt action with a heavy barrel that my dad got me when I was young. I still take that rifle out and shoot tacks off my target stand at 100 yards
I have 4 kids in the local 4H shooting club. Each kid needs 3 rifles: target (aperture sights), hunt (traditional iron sights), and scoped. Bolt actions are by far the most common and easiest to use, mostly because the rules don't allow for rounds to be fed from a magazine, but one at a time by hand, even though the rifle can have a magazine of whatever type. I can tell you alot about accuracy on a budget! Most of our rifles are older, wood and blued. The list includes a Winchester 75, Winchester 72, Remington 521T, Mossberg 320K, Wards 14M, Stevens,. The newer rifles are CZ 455, Ruger American, Savage FV Mark II. Lots of fun!
I got a Cz 457 Varmint a couple years ago that I shoot it out to 100 yard almost every day. Im hitting a 1" spinning target reliably with bulk ammo at that distance. One of many 22s in my collection and I love them all
My favorite .22 in my collection is my CZ 455 Varmint Evolution. Looooooove it. Light enough to carry in the field for squirrel and rabbit. Accurate enough for sub moa off the bench.
I'm super late to this, but I have a 455 and it is absolutely amazing. 50-70 yards, the thing can drive tacks. No need to spend more money just for the flex, the CZ is top in my books.
Got a bunch of high dollar sisters on that tables. I could never afford, or won’t never think of affording 3 of those rifles. My most accurate .22 lr bolt action is my Remington 581s, 17 inch barrel, gunsmithed trigger, etc. You make a great vlog, I enjoy your site very much. Thanks for posting and sharing.
Zastava mp22 is an incredible value. I bought one at cabelas when they were selling them for $190. Only plastic part is the mag release button. Amazing trigger after some adjustment.
There is a Zastava CZ99 bolt action 22 at a local gun show I’ve been thinking about buying would you recommend it? I’m skeptical about brands that you don’t hear of often and so that’s the main reason I haven’t bought it yet
My favorite, actually my only bolt action, single shot .22 LR rifle ... I bought only three days after I was honorably discharged from the Navy. I bought it in a pawn shop for ... (drum roll) $19. A Winchester Model 67a. I believe it was manufactured pre 1944 ... as it says Made in United States of America on the barrel, and has no identifying marks such as serial number. Open breach, insert one bullet, close the breach, pull back the firing pin bolt ... aim, squeeze the trigger and fire ... open breach, insert one bullet, close the breach and repeat. It is super accurate with a 27" barrel. It is rugged ... I tell folks, "drop it out of an airplane at 10,000 ft ... pick it up, put another stock on it, and it will fire as it did prior." It bounced around in the bed of a truck, in the trunk of several cars ... and hardly chipped the old original wood stock. I couldn't count, the paper targets, beer bottles, soda cans, squirrels, jack rabbits, and snakes, that I have shot at, on a single calculator in one month of trying. Bought it in 1972, and when I die, it will go to my great grandson.
Good selection! I have a Lithgow 101, left hand. It shoots great, but actually not quite as good as my Browning T-bolt. The T-bolt shot 10 rounds into 0.42" at 100 yards. The straight pull design is fantastic too!
@@johnson4523 sorry, but I live in Canada, believe it or not. Very few times we actually come out ahead of you, when it comes to firearms. Keep defending the 2nd amendment!
Remington 581s and 10/22 International, rifles. 4in 8 shot revolver. covers my 22's. With a 22 you'll never go hungry. To step it up there is the 357 magnum, side arm and rifle. Reloading brings out the best for the 357. One of the cheapest ways to get better accuracy from your 22's is to simply WEIGH the ammo. Shoot the ones in the "middle" that all weigh the same. The light ones hit low and to the right, the heavy ones hit high and to the left. Weighing out 100 rounds I found a 1.1 grain difference from the lightest to the heaviest. The Hornady Manual, .03 of a grain 50-100 fps difference. For a 22 that's a lot. Hey, 22plinkster....... Great channel, keep up the good work.
You have some nice high dollar 22lr bolt guns! Glad to see the channel is doing well! I have 3 CZ452 rifles which all are very accurate for the money I paid for them. I have a model Remington 34 which is very similar to the Mossberg rifle you have. Until I started watching your channel, I never knew those first bolt gun existed. Years ago, I enjoyed going out after school and shooting my 22lr rifle in the woods. I lusted after the 10 22 when it came out, but my parents would never let me buy one with my paper route money-I was in grammar school at the time. Thanks for making this video.
Here is your 1st BAD CZ 457 review. It has made me think over my recent buy of my 1st Bolt Action 22LR rifle a CZ457 Varmint Precision Chassis. I went with the CZ specifically because of Quality / price. th-cam.com/video/HfAdWy-rT1w/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugyxplw99gNXprh6gq54AaABAg.9_DUHWNvWXi9_ER0P88juw
Glad to see a Mossberg in the mix. My first firearm was a Mossberg 340KA, 7 shot magazine. Dad got it for me when I was 14 or 15 (I'm 70 now). It is still in the family and shooting straight.
Swapped my first 22LR, a western auto self loader, for a Mossberg 340B. Most accurate 22 I've come across until I got a CZ452, 40 years later. Still have them both ; great squirrel guns as well.
First 22 was a Glenfield Mod 25 that was bedded and floated by my Grandfather and Father, and given to me by Grandfather. Good little gun but not shot it in probably 30 years. First purchase was a Marlin Mod 60 with my lawn mowing money, at about 10 years old.
Hate to say it, but my favorite 22 bolt rifle is my 1932 Winchester model 67……it was my grandfathers. He hunted with it, he taught my mom to shoot with it, he taught me with it at 6 yrs old, and I taught my kids with it. This summer, my grandkids will learn with it. It’s not worth a lot, but it’s irreplaceable to me….
I just bought a CZ 457 Trainer. I love it, very smooth bolt and the sights are wonderful. They are graduated out to 200 meters. I'll be taking it out to that distance shortly.
@@JebHoge I took my 457 Trainer out to 220 yards this past Wednesday. The rear sight is perfectly calibrated. I had sighted it in at 25 yards. With the rear sight set on 200 meters it was easy hitting clay pigeons at 220 yards. These are wonderful rifles.
I think we all have that cheap 50/75 dollar .22 in our collection somewhere. Mine is a Marlin I got for my 16th birthday. I cannot begin to know how many rounds I put through it. At one point all the bluing was almost gone along with the stock finish. I refinished it myself. Is it a .3 100 yard gun, no but who cares. The best thing is it loves CCI mini mags. They shoot just as well as the target stuff. I can keep it under a 1/2 inch at 50 yards. For years it was my go to for squirrels. Mostly because I had nothing better. LOL I wouldn't trade it for any of the more expensive rifles on the table.
@@johnpawlowski804 have had mine 3-4yrs really great little .22lr, however, let down by that awful trigger and imho poor customer care from Lithgow ( pronounce Lith-go!) why they didn’t build the 101 with an adjustable trigger I will never understand 👎🏻! I’m weighing up a CZ 457 or a Tikka Tx1 for my next firearm, both seem readily available here in the U.K. which makes a change 😂👍 stay safe, regards.
For the money I would probably go with the CZ. I have several Savage rimfires in both .22 LR and .22 Magnum. The oldest ones, pre 1930 are very accurate. You mentioned probably the most important feature.... your favorite is the rifle that "points well" is comfortable, fits you well. I have some expensive rifles that look great but I they don't fit well and I don't shoot them.
Great results with Eley Match through my 22lr CZ 457 lux, 5 rounds through the same hole at 25 yards using iron sights, but I have found the rifle to be cartridge sensitive and theirs some brands/product lines it simply doesn't like at all.
In 2002 I purchased 2 new CZ 452 Ultra Lux rifles. One is still NIB. The other has been my regular plinker with many thousands of rounds thru her. I've never put a scope on her, but my age and eyesight has finally dictated the need for a scope. My other favorite .22 is my 1953 Remington 521-T Junior rifle. I bought her used in 1965 from my NRA gun club instructor. It was my first gun and I still have her. I do enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
@@tacocin Wow! I gave 900 for mine on GB about 10 to 15 years ago and it's in excellent shape. It's actually the best one I've ever seen. I had a feeling the value would just keep rising. Love that rifle.
I have the CZ 455 Ultra Lux. Best .22 bolt action I own $418 out the door My first .22 is a Marlin bolt action MOD 20. I bought it in 1986. I was 16 . Still a great shooter
Those old Mossbergs are really good shooters. I have a late 60’s single shot model chambered for short, long, and long rifle. The trigger is surprising good , it points like a dream and the iron sights are excellent. I hate to admit it, but it’s slightly more accurate than my old 1965 vintage Savage Anschutz 1416.
Old Mossbergs are awesome. I have a chuckster in .22wmr from the late 70s I found for $200. It's the most accurate gun I own. It has iron sights and a beautiful wood stock with original sling. I use it for long range pest control and my 10/22 for close range stuff. I really love that gun.
I picked up a Mossberg 346 and need to put a rear sight on it. It runs smooth and I did some smoothing out on the trigger. I love the tubular magazine for a bolt action.
Right away within seconds when seeing the tubular on the table I thought,"Mossberg" All the American manufacturers made real decent bolt action 22s in those days.
I only have 5 bolt 22's. One is an old Remington target master that hasn't been used in years. I have a couple Ruger 77/22's and they are very nice. My CZ 455 is my favorite plinking rifle while my Vudoo is my most accurate. I wouldn't give any of them up. They are all a blast to shoot. 22 day on the range is always the best (no matter how mad the wife gets about the money I spend on ammo)
I have a couple of the 77/22's to and a 455 and lot's of other's but for some reason i have a cheap stainless marlin xt 22 that i keep on my quad and it's extrem accurate 22 for $125
I still have my very first .22 bolt action that I purchased in 1972. It's a Marlin Glenfield Model 10, single shot that had a trigger that would of rivaled your Mossberg's. After some loving care and a whole lot of hand polishing, I was able to get it down to around 5 1/2 lbs. I'm not sure I'd be able to give you a wild arse guess as to how many thousands of rounds that have passed through it ... and, it's still among the most accurate 22's I own. Great list and enjoyable video to watch ... Cheers!
I still have my very first Mossberg bolt action with a 7 shot magazine from circa 1966 when I was in the gun club in high school. Still looks brand new. Note, back in those days I took it to school and left it in my locker all day till we went to the range after school!!! How times have changed
I brought an old H&R 7 shot 22 short or long only revolver to school back in the 60’s and made new walnut grips in wood shop class because it had only 1/2 of o grip on one side and none on the other. I was a model 1906 and the sears catalog in 1906 sold them for $2.95.
I have a Ruger 77/22 that I put a lot of work and testing into but that wouldn't shoot worth bean... until I installed a shim kit from Shively. Made all the difference in the world and it's a true target rifle. Still not as good as my AMT (Ruger) 10/22, which I put 10 shots into 0.370 at 25 yards. But the 77/22 will shoot under .5" at that range so I'm happy with it now! Cheers, jc
My very first firearm was a Mossberg 346KC... think I paid $79 for it back around 1968-1970-ish. Kept it until 2022 when I sold it to a good friend looking for an accurate, dependable bolt action 22. Although I know this rifle went to a good owner and gets more use than I was providing, I still feel occasional pangs of regret over selling it.
I own a CZ 452 ultra lux and you are correct, it is a great rifle. I have 4 CZ's and they are all great. In my opinion, CZ's are some of the best guns for the money.
You over looked the Savage Mod 93 Mk II bolt action at only $369 w/ scope, laminated wood stock, free floating heavy barrel, button rifling and adjustable target trigger. The only thing holding back the excellent accuracy is the shooter behind the rifle. With the right ammo it will run with some precision rifles that cost 3 times as much.
Me too ! My Ruger Model 77/22 magnum topped with a Leupold VX I 2-7 by 33 is a TACK DRIVER. ! CCI 40 grain JHP and 33 grain Remington Accutip V print dime sized clover leaf groups all day long ☘️ 🎯
Browning T Bolt Target, 16.5" threaded barrel. I modified the trigger from it's stock 4.5 lbs (min adjustable setting) down to 2.5, which voids the warranty, but what a sweet shooter. I keep the set screw adjustment so the trigger is at 3.5 lbs.
my CZ-452 Special Military Trainer is the jewel of my collection (which includes four other CZ rim fires). All of my CZ are like handling a well-tuned mini-Mauser.
You're livin' the dream brother! I, too, have several CZ's, hard to choose a favourate. I have 2 452 varmints (.17 HMR and .22), 452 full stock (.22), 453 ultra lux (.22), 712 semiauto shotgun and last but not least a 527 (.204 Ruger). They are all amazing, wish I had room for more, may have to sell some of my other guns...hmm...LOL. Cheers mate!
I cannot afford 4 of your top 5 but I too have a love for bolt action 22 rifles. As a kid in Tennessee growing up I always had my 22 rifle with me shooting chickens for supper and ground hogs in the fields, never a day goes by wishing I was out in barn loft looking over fields. Now I would love to be there with my 22/250
It's pronounced Lith go. I live just over the hill (the Blue mountains) from Lithgow. The only other rimfire rifle I like for accuracy is my Ruger precision rifle. Great to see an Aussie made rifle on your list.
Great bunch of rifles! I have a Savage Anschutz 164 Sporter with a Leupold Vari X 2x7 that would fit in with this group. I've had it since 1978 and plan on keeping it.
About 30 years ago I bought a Remington Nylon tube feed bolt action from a co-worker for $90. I topped it with a 4X high power rifle scope on tip-off mounts. THIS RIFLE SHOOTS ! Using just Winchester Wildcat ammo this is a half inch shooter, even with the light nylon stock. It will outshoot my former Anschutz dedicated target rifle. The butter knife handle bolt works smooth and the trigger is decent. Groundhogs do not stand a chance against this rig. Not bad for a total investment of about $150.
Most accurate 22 I ever shot was a savage anschutz model 64 match grade with Redfield peep sights that had interchangeable apertures. The very first shots went through the same hole with no discernable difference to suggest that two shots had gone through. We sighted the rifle in from there. The rifle in my hands consistently delivered 48-50 scores and was instrumental to achieving the different levels of marksmanship. I find it odd that Dave did not mention anschutz when nearly 80% of all competition rifles are anschutz. I have shot Remington and others but none delivered the consistent accuracy of the anschutz.
I have two Marlin model 80 bolt action rifles, both very accurate one has the micro groove barrel the older one is not marked as micro groove they both shoot great.
Great selection of Rifles, but I’ll put my Cooper 57M or Anschutz 1712 (54 Action) against any of them. Split cards consistently at 75 yards, along with 3-4 shots out of 5 with the same Hole at 50 Yards. Other shots are touching. I’m not a trick shooter, but a Precision shooter. Splitting Hairs ( excuse the pun) with some of our Rifles, are definitely a matter of Ammo and the Shooter. Try the Anschutz and Cooper ! You’ll need to do this Video again, replacing some picks. Great Shooting, regardless, Ted
Being that I'm left handed and finding left handed bolts 22lr's, well good luck finding! I stopped at a Gun shop many miles away from where I live, I found a new Browning tee bolt in left hand. So without knowing very much about the Browning 22's except what I could find on my phone at the Gun shop. I'm very happy with the rifle, good looking and very well built and I'm happy with the accuracy.
When I was young I had a Mossberg 22 target rifle. Put double aperture sights on it. The best 22 iron sight imho. Just wicked accurate. Never shot a 100 with it... 99s by the pile. Sold it before I went active duty in the early '80s. Very interested in what you had to say about those rifles. I have an excellent 22 rifle but always want a new one.
I have a Mossberg MB46 22lr, I love that old bastard! Made in 1946 as a Military trainer. Those old guns came with bull barrels before bull barrels where a thing.
My favorite rimfire rifles in history are the Marlin 25s and all their variants. They’re affordable, super-accurate, tough, not bad looking, and incredibly tough and reliable. The new ones might not be so great, I’ve heard Marlin has gone downhill lately. The most recent one I have is a .17HMR with the heavy stainless barrel and laminate sporter stock from probably 2008? and the oldest (and best shooter) is a 1978 25 Glenfield in .22LR. I’ve taken them all apart and polished and slicked up all the important parts, the usual accurizing budget rifle stuff. I’ve shot some incredible .22s, but I personally can’t justify the kind of money they take to buy, I don’t shoot competitively or anything like that. The Savages are also super-impressive for the money.
@@pnotuner1 That happened to my '77 model Glenfield 25, after God knows how many hundreds of thousands of rounds, in probably 2015. A local gunsmith fixed it for cheap, maybe 25 bucks. Now it's back to being my favorite and most accurate .22 rifle.
My favorite bolt action is my old Remington 33 single shot I've own since 1999 and shot lots and lots of game with. But after that, I really want to get my hands on a Browning T-bolt .22 LR.
The 33 is a nice little single shot gun, they were only made for 2 or so years. I love mine because it's an heirloom. It was my dad's grandfathers gun, given to him by his grandmother after grandad passed. It was my dad's first firearm. It was the first gun I ever shot, and the first gun my son ever shot.
My CZ 452 Ultra-Lux is just Love. Maybe 20 years ago it was bought for ~$600. If I saw one in a store these days for near that I'd have to get it. Beautiful wood, accurate as heck...
the CZ is great , i got one from my uncle for my 16th b-day back in 1996 , 26" barrel , shot 100 yard groups as good as his anschutz match rifle , still got it btw
I was just sitting here like. anschütz. Anschütz. ANSCHÜTZ! Well, at least they got an honorable mention at the end. THEY shoot the absolute lights out. Great rifles
Yeah or Remington 541. Those first 2 he showed are not hunting rifles, that first one looks like it weighs 10 lbs and 5000 dollars , come on, The only way I,m spending 5 G,s on a 22 is if it's a unfired Remington 40 x F grade. Worth every penny.
I've got a Savage MkII heavy barrel, accutrigger, Bushnell, mostly stock but for "custom paint" and sling swivels. Best rabbit gun I've got. I've got 5 other .22s, mostly for the kids, but "Dory" is my sweetheart. She doesn't miss.
Thanks for the video. I recently bought a CZ 457 MTR Varmint, based on watching Buffalo's Outdoor's series on it. I think it's going to be really accurate, if I can ever catch a day that isn't windy to shoot.
If it's chambered in 22lr try shooting Eley Match through it, I found my CZ457 lux to be cartridge sensitive, loves Eley Match though. Other CZ457 owners have told me that Eley Match is what their rifles liked too.
I brought a Jackoffski Hurange in .22 lr for $129.00. It shoots .22 inch 1 shot groups at 100. On really windy days it will do on average .22 inch 1 shot groups over the same distance. Amazing performance. It is truly a one holer.
Very nice collection, and well said as always 👍 The only twen-te- to-el-ar bolt i have is the Ruger Precision Rimfire, and so far, is a great shooter. I do miss my Winchester model 52C, 4 position rifle with the unertl 32 power scope form my competitive years, but my Marlin 39a mountie can almost put them both to shame 😉 Thanks for sharing, and plink on!
No doubt, all very excellent rifles. My taste leans more towards the vintage rifles of yesteryear, and I truly enjoy the old Marlin 80DL (not grooved for scope mount). I too have the more modern .22lr's (Savage, Marlin, Ruger), but I simply get the best enjoyment and equal (and in some cases, better) accuracy out of the old vintage .22lr's... I even have a Sears & Roebuck knockoff of a Marlin 80DL that is grooved for scope mounts - and it too is one very accurate rimfire rifle... Plinkster, you certainly have some mighty fine .22's!!!
"I love bolt actions because you can get them for only a couple hundred bucks... anyways here's my $2700 rifle."
I know, that drives me nuts about him sometimes. Talk about how everyone can get a bolt action and then mention one maybe two that the average person can afford or find. I recently purchased a ruger precision for around 400. Likely the most I will ever spend on a rimfire.
He’s “paid” at this point...
still love him though!

I love the wood on the CZs. A firearm has two values: What it's worth to you, and what someone is willing to pay for it.

I have 4 kids in the local 4H shooting club. Each kid needs 3 rifles: target (aperture sights), hunt (traditional iron sights), and scoped. Bolt actions are by far the most common and easiest to use, mostly because the rules don't allow for rounds to be fed from a magazine, but one at a time by hand, even though the rifle can have a magazine of whatever type. I can tell you alot about accuracy on a budget! Most of our rifles are older, wood and blued. The list includes a Winchester 75, Winchester 72, Remington 521T, Mossberg 320K, Wards 14M, Stevens,. The newer rifles are CZ 455, Ruger American, Savage FV Mark II. Lots of fun!

My favorite .22 in my collection is my CZ 455 Varmint Evolution. Looooooove it. Light enough to carry in the field for squirrel and rabbit. Accurate enough for sub moa off the bench.
I'm super late to this, but I have a 455 and it is absolutely amazing. 50-70 yards, the thing can drive tacks. No need to spend more money just for the flex, the CZ is top in my books.
Got a bunch of high dollar sisters on that tables. I could never afford, or won’t never think of affording 3 of those rifles. My most accurate .22 lr bolt action is my Remington 581s, 17 inch barrel, gunsmithed trigger, etc. You make a great vlog, I enjoy your site very much. Thanks for posting and sharing.
Zastava mp22 is an incredible value. I bought one at cabelas when they were selling them for $190. Only plastic part is the mag release button. Amazing trigger after some adjustment.
There is a Zastava CZ99 bolt action 22 at a local gun show I’ve been thinking about buying would you recommend it? I’m skeptical about brands that you don’t hear of often and so that’s the main reason I haven’t bought it yet
My favorite, actually my only bolt action, single shot .22 LR rifle ... I bought only three days after I was honorably discharged from the Navy. I bought it in a pawn shop for ... (drum roll) $19. A Winchester Model 67a. I believe it was manufactured pre 1944 ... as it says Made in United States of America on the barrel, and has no identifying marks such as serial number. Open breach, insert one bullet, close the breach, pull back the firing pin bolt ... aim, squeeze the trigger and fire ... open breach, insert one bullet, close the breach and repeat. It is super accurate with a 27" barrel. It is rugged ... I tell folks, "drop it out of an airplane at 10,000 ft ... pick it up, put another stock on it, and it will fire as it did prior." It bounced around in the bed of a truck, in the trunk of several cars ... and hardly chipped the old original wood stock. I couldn't count, the paper targets, beer bottles, soda cans, squirrels, jack rabbits, and snakes, that I have shot at, on a single calculator in one month of trying. Bought it in 1972, and when I die, it will go to my great grandson.
Good selection! I have a Lithgow 101, left hand. It shoots great, but actually not quite as good as my Browning T-bolt. The T-bolt shot 10 rounds into 0.42" at 100 yards. The straight pull design is fantastic too!
BROWNING T-BOLT...........Fuuuuck Yaaaaaah!!!
gotta Winchester 9422 xtr from 1978. my first!! still have it...irons good to 200 yds with knowledge of drop from that round.
If you’re in the USA… where did you get one? I’ve been looking and cant find US retailers that carry them :(
@@johnson4523 sorry, but I live in Canada, believe it or not. Very few times we actually come out ahead of you, when it comes to firearms. Keep defending the 2nd amendment!
I have its older brother, '88 A-Bolt.
Remington 581s and 10/22 International, rifles. 4in 8 shot revolver. covers my 22's.
With a 22 you'll never go hungry.
To step it up there is the 357 magnum, side arm and rifle. Reloading brings out the best for the 357.
One of the cheapest ways to get better accuracy from your 22's is to simply WEIGH the ammo. Shoot the ones in the "middle" that all weigh the same.
The light ones hit low and to the right, the heavy ones hit high and to the left.
Weighing out 100 rounds I found a 1.1 grain difference from the lightest to the heaviest.
The Hornady Manual, .03 of a grain 50-100 fps difference. For a 22 that's a lot.
Hey, 22plinkster....... Great channel, keep up the good work.
I have a cz 455. Great accurate bolt guns for the money.
CZ's are highly under rated. Good for us consumers, for sure!
I received a Glenfield Model 25 (Marlin Model 80) in 1973 for Christmas. It's near mint and I consider it part of my family.
You have some nice high dollar 22lr bolt guns! Glad to see the channel is doing well! I have 3 CZ452 rifles which all are very accurate for the money I paid for them. I have a model Remington 34 which is very similar to the Mossberg rifle you have. Until I started watching your channel, I never knew those first bolt gun existed. Years ago, I enjoyed going out after school and shooting my 22lr rifle in the woods. I lusted after the 10 22 when it came out, but my parents would never let me buy one with my paper route money-I was in grammar school at the time. Thanks for making this video.
I dont own a bolt 22lr but I'm going to bet CZ makes the list. I've never read a bad review
My choice was a CZ. About the only one I could get with the bolt on the left. I think I paid $425 about five years ago.
They are very nice .22lr,I had the 452 milatary trainer but had to sell it,don't be afraid of buying one they are well worth the money!
Here is your 1st BAD CZ 457 review. It has made me think over my recent buy of my 1st Bolt Action 22LR rifle a CZ457 Varmint Precision Chassis. I went with the CZ specifically because of Quality / price.

Glad to see a Mossberg in the mix. My first firearm was a Mossberg 340KA, 7 shot magazine. Dad got it for me when I was 14 or 15 (I'm 70 now). It is still in the family and shooting straight.
Swapped my first 22LR, a western auto self loader, for a Mossberg 340B. Most accurate 22 I've come across until I got a CZ452, 40 years later. Still have them both ; great squirrel guns as well.
First 22 was a Glenfield Mod 25 that was bedded and floated by my Grandfather and Father, and given to me by Grandfather. Good little gun but not shot it in probably 30 years. First purchase was a Marlin Mod 60 with my lawn mowing money, at about 10 years old.
Remington 541-S is a consistent 1” moa shooter with most ammo. Mine loves the CCI- minimag
Hate to say it, but my favorite 22 bolt rifle is my 1932 Winchester model 67……it was my grandfathers. He hunted with it, he taught my mom to shoot with it, he taught me with it at 6 yrs old, and I taught my kids with it. This summer, my grandkids will learn with it.
It’s not worth a lot, but it’s irreplaceable to me….
That rifle is worth millions of dollars to you and your family! 👍 congratulations on taking care and keeping it in good shape.
I've got a Mossberg 146b from the 1950's and it shoots extremely well. Picked it up at my LGS for $300 within the past month! Love that rifle!!
I just bought a CZ 457 Trainer. I love it, very smooth bolt and the sights are wonderful. They are graduated out to 200 meters. I'll be taking it out to that distance shortly.
I've got the 455 Trainer. Love that gun.
@@JebHoge I took my 457 Trainer out to 220 yards this past Wednesday. The rear sight is perfectly calibrated. I had sighted it in at 25 yards. With the rear sight set on 200 meters it was easy hitting clay pigeons at 220 yards. These are wonderful rifles.
I think we all have that cheap 50/75 dollar .22 in our collection somewhere. Mine is a Marlin I got for my 16th birthday. I cannot begin to know how many rounds I put through it. At one point all the bluing was almost gone along with the stock finish. I refinished it myself. Is it a .3 100 yard gun, no but who cares. The best thing is it loves CCI mini mags. They shoot just as well as the target stuff. I can keep it under a 1/2 inch at 50 yards. For years it was my go to for squirrels. Mostly because I had nothing better. LOL I wouldn't trade it for any of the more expensive rifles on the table.
G’day mate! It’s “Lith-go” mate, that’s how we say it!
If you've watched Plinkster much you know he has some unique ways of pronouncing things - Leupold for instance. It's all good.
Who sells them in the Midwest of the United States? Thinking about getting one. Thank you.
Do a top 5 22 auto rifle video next. Accuracy and fun
Rhymes with "lets go"
@@johnpawlowski804 have had mine 3-4yrs really great little .22lr, however, let down by that awful trigger and imho poor customer care from Lithgow ( pronounce Lith-go!) why they didn’t build the 101 with an adjustable trigger I will never understand 👎🏻! I’m weighing up a CZ 457 or a Tikka Tx1 for my next firearm, both seem readily available here in the U.K. which makes a change 😂👍 stay safe, regards.
My old Marlin 22 mag. is tube fed and bolt action. Love it.
For the money I would probably go with the CZ. I have several Savage rimfires in both .22 LR and .22 Magnum. The oldest ones, pre 1930 are very accurate. You mentioned probably the most important feature.... your favorite is the rifle that "points well" is comfortable, fits you well. I have some expensive rifles that look great but I they don't fit well and I don't shoot them.
Thr Remington Mod 511 is a great rifle
Great results with Eley Match through my 22lr CZ 457 lux, 5 rounds through the same hole at 25 yards using iron sights, but I have found the rifle to be cartridge sensitive and theirs some brands/product lines it simply doesn't like at all.
In 2002 I purchased 2 new CZ 452 Ultra Lux rifles. One is still NIB. The other has been my regular plinker with many thousands of rounds thru her. I've never put a scope on her, but my age and eyesight has finally dictated the need for a scope. My other favorite .22 is my 1953 Remington 521-T Junior rifle. I bought her used in 1965 from my NRA gun club instructor. It was my first gun and I still have her. I do enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
Not my most accurate 22 but my Browning A Bolt is one of the nicest 22's I have.
I had one and sold it. It was beautiful. I Still regret it.
Recently saw one on GB for $1400
@@tacocin Wow! I gave 900 for mine on GB about 10 to 15 years ago and it's in excellent shape. It's actually the best one I've ever seen. I had a feeling the value would just keep rising. Love that rifle.
@@tywebbgolfenthusiast8950 I know that regret feeling all too well lol.
It does, it has a fancy American walnut stock with beautiful grains. The bluing is still in beautiful condition also. Thanks!
I have the CZ 455 Ultra Lux. Best .22 bolt action I own $418 out the door
My first .22 is a Marlin bolt action MOD 20. I bought it in 1986. I was 16 . Still a great shooter
Those old Mossbergs are really good shooters. I have a late 60’s single shot model chambered for short, long, and long rifle. The trigger is surprising good , it points like a dream and the iron sights are excellent. I hate to admit it, but it’s slightly more accurate than my old 1965 vintage Savage Anschutz 1416.
Old Mossbergs are awesome. I have a chuckster in .22wmr from the late 70s I found for $200. It's the most accurate gun I own. It has iron sights and a beautiful wood stock with original sling. I use it for long range pest control and my 10/22 for close range stuff. I really love that gun.
@@joshp2542 I used to pop gophers in the head at 40 yards using Federal 22short with my 346K.
We rarely see them mentioned in the accuracy vids.
I picked up a Mossberg 346 and need to put a rear sight on it. It runs smooth and I did some smoothing out on the trigger. I love the tubular magazine for a bolt action.
Right away within seconds when seeing the tubular on the table I thought,"Mossberg" All the American manufacturers made real decent bolt action 22s in those days.
Good to see the Bergara getting some love, it’s a great rifle! I bought mine new for under $1K.
Saw the reviews on this all good. Begara B14 trainer is pretty nice for the price !
I only have 5 bolt 22's. One is an old Remington target master that hasn't been used in years. I have a couple Ruger 77/22's and they are very nice. My CZ 455 is my favorite plinking rifle while my Vudoo is my most accurate. I wouldn't give any of them up. They are all a blast to shoot. 22 day on the range is always the best (no matter how mad the wife gets about the money I spend on ammo)
CZ 455’s sure are beautiful
I have a couple of the 77/22's to and a 455 and lot's of other's but for some reason i have a cheap stainless marlin xt 22 that i keep on my quad and it's extrem accurate 22 for $125
@@FreeThink1984 CZ are great rimfire rifles. Wish the new 457 had some left handed option. In Norway, a left handed 452, is very rear, second hand.
I still have my very first .22 bolt action that I purchased in 1972. It's a Marlin Glenfield Model 10, single shot that had a trigger that would of rivaled your Mossberg's. After some loving care and a whole lot of hand polishing, I was able to get it down to around 5 1/2 lbs. I'm not sure I'd be able to give you a wild arse guess as to how many thousands of rounds that have passed through it ... and, it's still among the most accurate 22's I own.
Great list and enjoyable video to watch ... Cheers!
I love that you kept your 40$ plinker, I love open site shooting and want something similar, thanks for sharing, some really nice rifles there man!
I still have my very first Mossberg bolt action with a 7 shot magazine from circa 1966 when I was in the gun club in high school. Still looks brand new.
Note, back in those days I took it to school and left it in my locker all day till we went to the range after school!!! How times have changed
What's the model?
@@blueplasma5589 340KA
@@blueplasma5589 any info on it?
I brought an old H&R 7 shot 22 short or long only revolver to school back in the 60’s and made new walnut grips in wood shop class because it had only 1/2 of o grip on one side and none on the other. I was a model 1906 and the sears catalog in 1906 sold them for $2.95.
I have a Ruger 77/22 that I put a lot of work and testing into but that wouldn't shoot worth bean... until I installed a shim kit from Shively. Made all the difference in the world and it's a true target rifle. Still not as good as my AMT (Ruger) 10/22, which I put 10 shots into 0.370 at 25 yards. But the 77/22 will shoot under .5" at that range so I'm happy with it now!
Cheers,
jc
My very first firearm was a Mossberg 346KC... think I paid $79 for it back around 1968-1970-ish. Kept it until 2022 when I sold it to a good friend looking for an accurate, dependable bolt action 22. Although I know this rifle went to a good owner and gets more use than I was providing, I still feel occasional pangs of regret over selling it.
I have never seen one like that. If I do I'm buying.
Top 5 out of rifles he owns folks
I own a CZ 452 ultra lux and you are correct, it is a great rifle. I have 4 CZ's and they are all great. In my opinion, CZ's are some of the best guns for the money.
You left out the Anschutz 1710HB & the newer 1761 😵💫
You over looked the Savage Mod 93 Mk II bolt action at only $369 w/ scope, laminated wood stock, free floating heavy barrel, button rifling and adjustable target trigger. The only thing holding back the excellent accuracy is the shooter behind the rifle. With the right ammo it will run with some precision rifles that cost 3 times as much.
Shhhhhh it’s ok ruger American rim fire, your still the most accurate one I own. 😅
Me too ! My Ruger Model 77/22 magnum topped with a Leupold VX I 2-7 by 33 is a TACK DRIVER. ! CCI 40 grain JHP and 33 grain Remington Accutip V print dime sized clover leaf groups all day long ☘️ 🎯
My Ruger American compact shoots really well for the price. It’s the only Ruger rifle I own now because I sold all of the 10/22s
Browning T Bolt Target, 16.5" threaded barrel. I modified the trigger from it's stock 4.5 lbs (min adjustable setting) down to 2.5, which voids the warranty, but what a sweet shooter. I keep the set screw adjustment so the trigger is at 3.5 lbs.
my CZ-452 Special Military Trainer is the jewel of my collection (which includes four other CZ rim fires). All of my CZ are like handling a well-tuned mini-Mauser.
I have a Brno Model 1 That will shoot 1 ragged hole when I do MY Part...Remember the Eley Brown Tab Ammo...Good ole days
You're livin' the dream brother! I, too, have several CZ's, hard to choose a favourate. I have 2 452 varmints (.17 HMR and .22), 452 full stock (.22), 453 ultra lux (.22), 712 semiauto shotgun and last but not least a 527 (.204 Ruger). They are all amazing, wish I had room for more, may have to sell some of my other guns...hmm...LOL. Cheers mate!
Just Bought a CZ452-2E-ZKM Varmint, Thanks to your description of the CZ's as a "Mini Mauser" 😉
I cannot afford 4 of your top 5 but I too have a love for bolt action 22 rifles. As a kid in Tennessee growing up I always had my 22 rifle with me shooting chickens for supper and ground hogs in the fields, never a day goes by wishing I was out in barn loft looking over fields. Now I would love to be there with my 22/250
It's pronounced Lith go. I live just over the hill (the Blue mountains) from Lithgow.
The only other rimfire rifle I like for accuracy is my Ruger precision rifle.
Great to see an Aussie made rifle on your list.
Great bunch of rifles! I have a Savage Anschutz 164 Sporter with a Leupold Vari X 2x7 that would fit in with this group. I've had it since 1978 and plan on keeping it.
Got an Savage Annie in a model 64 and will never part with her while I am breathing.
Me too, best of best. Hunting or competition. Mine has rosewood forearm on walnut stock.
My first gun was a Remington 581, my grandpa gave it to me. Still one of my top three favorite guns!👍
Nice, I've got one as well, likely as old as me, one of my favorites.
Love my 581 too! Bought it in '67. I have no idea how many squirrels have fallen by it.
Buddy of mine has a 582 (tube fed version of the 581). They can shoot REALLY good! Great workmanship, too.
I like that they can shorts, longs, or long rifle. Not many .22s do that.
My first 22 was my 582 I bought new in 76. The thing shoots so well. 1/2 “ at 50 all day long. Beautiful quality gun. Glad you guys mentioned it. 👍🏻👍🏻
I bought a Lithgow mainly based on 22plnkster's review of it. It's really accurate with the right ammo.👍
About 30 years ago I bought a Remington Nylon tube feed bolt action from a co-worker for $90. I topped it with a 4X high power rifle scope on tip-off mounts. THIS RIFLE SHOOTS ! Using just Winchester Wildcat ammo this is a half inch shooter, even with the light nylon stock. It will outshoot my former Anschutz dedicated target rifle. The butter knife handle bolt works smooth and the trigger is decent. Groundhogs do not stand a chance against this rig. Not bad for a total investment of about $150.
I have an old Mossberg 146b-a and I love that rifle will never sell it either those Mossbergs are awesome
Most accurate 22 I ever shot was a savage anschutz model 64 match grade with Redfield peep sights that had interchangeable apertures. The very first shots went through the same hole with no discernable difference to suggest that two shots had gone through. We sighted the rifle in from there. The rifle in my hands consistently delivered 48-50 scores and was instrumental to achieving the different levels of marksmanship. I find it odd that Dave did not mention anschutz when nearly 80% of all competition rifles are anschutz. I have shot Remington and others but none delivered the consistent accuracy of the anschutz.
Isn't that amazing that the locals in Americas has no clue about Europe in general.
I have two Marlin model 80 bolt action rifles, both very accurate one has the micro groove barrel the older one is not marked as micro groove they both shoot great.
Ditto on the CZ. I love my CZ455
My picks would be: Winchester 52, Winchester 69A, Savage 19NRA full-stock, Mossberg 42m, CZ 452/455.
Great selection of Rifles, but I’ll put my Cooper 57M or Anschutz 1712 (54 Action) against any of them. Split cards consistently at 75 yards, along with 3-4 shots out of 5 with the same Hole at 50 Yards. Other shots are touching. I’m not a trick shooter, but a Precision shooter.
Splitting Hairs ( excuse the pun) with some of our Rifles, are definitely a matter of Ammo and the Shooter. Try the Anschutz and Cooper !
You’ll need to do this Video again, replacing some picks.
Great Shooting, regardless,
Ted
I agree. Iron sights on an Anschutz can not be beat!
Being that I'm left handed and finding left handed bolts 22lr's, well good luck finding! I stopped at a Gun shop many miles away from where I live, I found a new Browning tee bolt in left hand. So without knowing very much about the Browning 22's except what I could find on my phone at the Gun shop.
I'm very happy with the rifle, good looking and very well built and I'm happy with the accuracy.
Sorry T bolt!
When I was young I had a Mossberg 22 target rifle. Put double aperture sights on it. The best 22 iron sight imho. Just wicked accurate. Never shot a 100 with it... 99s by the pile. Sold it before I went active duty in the early '80s. Very interested in what you had to say about those rifles. I have an excellent 22 rifle but always want a new one.
my favorite is the weatherby xxii. got 2 of them. one tube fed and one clip fed. great fit and feel.
22plinkster - it’s pronounced “Lith-Go”. 🙂 I have one in 223, epic rifles. Aussie power!
You beat me to it Alex! 🇦🇺
I have a Mossberg MB46 22lr, I love that old bastard! Made in 1946 as a Military trainer. Those old guns came with bull barrels before bull barrels where a thing.
I got a CZ-452. It is a sweet rifle
Need to try a Winchester 52 Model C, King of the 22’s.
Cz 452 in 17hmr and 22...beautiful
My 77/22 all weather is beauty too
I think the older mossberg 22 rifles like 341 and 640 chuckster are some of the most accurate 22 rifles of all time
Could you do a part 2 where you do entry/budget line bolt action, say maybe in the $500 and under bracket?
Have you ever shot a Browning A-Bolt .22 LR? Its quite heavy to carry around the woods but its a dream to shoot.
Man them vudoos are wicked nice looking but holy smokes, I’m way to cheap to ever own a 5k rimfire.
🍻
Spread your 5 grand out and buy 5 to 10 good quality firearms and enjoy the array of makes and features.
@@awesome-xd1md For sure!
I have a Mossberg 42M(b) that is super accurate. Has a Parker-Hale target peep sight and averages 0.5" at 100yd with CCI Mini-Mags
I have a BSA Century with P&H sights and it is amazing how accurate you can shoot with peeps!
I'm partial to the Bergara, but that's because I have its big brother in 300WM. Very nice collection.
Great report, love those .22lr rifles. I'm a CZ fan with two 457s.
do you think the cz royale is as accurate as the synthetic etc?
My favorite rimfire rifles in history are the Marlin 25s and all their variants. They’re affordable, super-accurate, tough, not bad looking, and incredibly tough and reliable. The new ones might not be so great, I’ve heard Marlin has gone downhill lately. The most recent one I have is a .17HMR with the heavy stainless barrel and laminate sporter stock from probably 2008? and the oldest (and best shooter) is a 1978 25 Glenfield in .22LR. I’ve taken them all apart and polished and slicked up all the important parts, the usual accurizing budget rifle stuff.
I’ve shot some incredible .22s, but I personally can’t justify the kind of money they take to buy, I don’t shoot competitively or anything like that. The Savages are also super-impressive for the money.
My Marlin 983 22wmr bolt gun was getting light strikes and now no longer shoots at all.
@@pnotuner1 That happened to my '77 model Glenfield 25, after God knows how many hundreds of thousands of rounds, in probably 2015. A local gunsmith fixed it for cheap, maybe 25 bucks. Now it's back to being my favorite and most accurate .22 rifle.
Its pronounced Lith-Go. Ive got one in 17HMR, its a bloody laserbeam.
Great to see Aussie rifles getting some love!
I have one in 223 and 308.
I bought a 1976 BRNO mod 2. Hands down the most accurate 22 I have ever shot
My favorite is a Remington model 37 still use it still groups less then a dime at 50 yards at the ripe old age of 84 years old
I have a Rem 37, and, they are wonderful rifles all right! You hardly ever hear of them... Too bad, too!
My favorite bolt action is my old Remington 33 single shot I've own since 1999 and shot lots and lots of game with. But after that, I really want to get my hands on a Browning T-bolt .22 LR.
The 33 is a nice little single shot gun, they were only made for 2 or so years. I love mine because it's an heirloom. It was my dad's grandfathers gun, given to him by his grandmother after grandad passed. It was my dad's first firearm. It was the first gun I ever shot, and the first gun my son ever shot.
T-bolt nice rifle, hearing at the Range the older model's shoot a lot better than the new Model, also
in Canada there over a$1000.00 now with Taxes
My CZ 452 Ultra-Lux is just Love. Maybe 20 years ago it was bought for ~$600. If I saw one in a store these days for near that I'd have to get it. Beautiful wood, accurate as heck...
Gotta get yourself a Tikka T1X to try out!!
the CZ is great , i got one from my uncle for my 16th b-day back in 1996 , 26" barrel , shot 100 yard groups as good as his anschutz match rifle , still got it btw
I was just sitting here like. anschütz. Anschütz. ANSCHÜTZ!
Well, at least they got an honorable mention at the end. THEY shoot the absolute lights out. Great rifles
My Anschutz .22 Hornet was the best rifle I ever used on foxes. 40 gr soft sierra bullets mean no damage to skins. 200 yd shots not a problem!
Yeah or Remington 541. Those first 2 he showed are not hunting rifles, that first one looks like it weighs 10 lbs and 5000 dollars , come on, The only way I,m spending 5 G,s on a 22 is if it's a unfired Remington 40 x F grade. Worth every penny.
I've got a Savage MkII heavy barrel, accutrigger, Bushnell, mostly stock but for "custom paint" and sling swivels. Best rabbit gun I've got. I've got 5 other .22s, mostly for the kids, but "Dory" is my sweetheart. She doesn't miss.
“You can shoot all day cuz they’re not semi-automatic.” Hahaha
Because you are too busy working the bolt..and not shooting. lol.
@Colton Yusuf Interesting how both of you joined 1 month ago. And commented on the same day.
Thanks for the video. I recently bought a CZ 457 MTR Varmint, based on watching Buffalo's Outdoor's series on it. I think it's going to be really accurate, if I can ever catch a day that isn't windy to shoot.
If it's chambered in 22lr try shooting Eley Match through it, I found my CZ457 lux to be cartridge sensitive, loves Eley Match though. Other CZ457 owners have told me that Eley Match is what their rifles liked too.
@@deathtdow I'll have to try that. I've had good results with Norma Tac22 in it, looking forward to trying the Eley Match
I'd love to see some velocity tests with that CZ!
I brought a Jackoffski Hurange in .22 lr for $129.00. It shoots .22 inch 1 shot groups at 100. On really windy days it will do on average .22 inch 1 shot groups over the same distance. Amazing performance. It is truly a one holer.
hilarious.
Very nice collection, and well said as always 👍 The only twen-te- to-el-ar bolt i have is the Ruger Precision Rimfire, and so far, is a great shooter. I do miss my Winchester model 52C, 4 position rifle with the unertl 32 power scope form my competitive years, but my Marlin 39a mountie can almost put them both to shame 😉 Thanks for sharing, and plink on!
No doubt, all very excellent rifles. My taste leans more towards the vintage rifles of yesteryear, and I truly enjoy the old Marlin 80DL (not grooved for scope mount). I too have the more modern .22lr's (Savage, Marlin, Ruger), but I simply get the best enjoyment and equal (and in some cases, better) accuracy out of the old vintage .22lr's... I even have a Sears & Roebuck knockoff of a Marlin 80DL that is grooved for scope mounts - and it too is one very accurate rimfire rifle... Plinkster, you certainly have some mighty fine .22's!!!
