Cool 22 rifles

[Bingo9991]

I've got a fair amount of 22 stacking up and I know there are cool and cheap 22 semi autos like the mp40, hk416, stg44, ak47, AR 15 and even belt fed machine style guns off 10/22 receivers, what are some of the best neat 22s?

Not sure if we are on the same wavelength but the cool 22 rifles that I have mostly are bolt actions or single shots, able to castrate a fly at 50 yards.

Check out the Winchester 52's
Kimber 82g,
CZ's
Anschutz,
Walther
Feinwerkbau

The semi autos, except for a couple of highly modified 10/22's, simply are unable to match the accuracy that makes them so interesting.

A friend has a Henry Golden Boy in .22. Very smooth action and very fun to plink with. Also accurate and it would make a nice hunting gun.

I’m a fan of these types too, owning CZs and a modified 10/22. I would add though;
Styer Zephyr
Winchester 1884
Voodoo arms
Rem M 40x
Rem M 513t
Browning SA22 fits in there too for no reason other then because of the sex appeal and fun factor it had on me as a kid shooting an uncles

For fun : a Win. 9422

I have a couple of Remington 572's and a Rossi 62 (which is a take-down "gallery gun") that has been threaded for a suppressor and has some awesome double-ring sights on it (think biplane fighter sights). Those always make me smile.

But you said semi-auto, so for me that's my threaded, stainless, 10/22 takedown with a Magpul Backpacker stock and Brimstone trigger job. Buy a GSG 110 rd drum for it and you can plink
pretty endlessly.

A good runner-up would be my dedicated .22 LR AR. Mine has a cheap red-dot on it but I've been eyeing the Primary Arms 1-6x24 tacticool optic with the .22LR calibrated ACSS reticle. I like to fill five or six magazines and slaughter some steel plates on the cheap.

Marlin 39 lever action. Levers are always fun and it's a top quality very accurate 22.

Fir me fun 22 or any rimfire would be one with some nice peep sights, and a scoped rimfire, maybe a 17 hmr or 22mag.

If you like the famous battle rifle clones on a 22 receiver there are a bunch, pull pups, all sorts.

22 is more fun pushing to see what you can do, hunting small game, shooting bottle caps, match sticks, Domino's, etc at distance.

I like the threaded Savage FV-SR and TRR-SR

AR-7

And heavy barrelled bolt actions.

My "most fun" .22LR was my GSG-5 for a few years, until I got a JBM Bullpup aluminum stock for my 10/22. It has been an absolute blast, especially in steel challenges.
