[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1582747, member: 17889"] Take a look at the Ruger Precision Rimfire. MSRP about $525; can buy for less than $400. A lot of gun for the money and closely replicates the Ruger Precision Rifle centerfire in feel, performance for when you need something larger. Can even replicate the bolt throw length of short action centerfire to help muscle memory when you move to centerfire. Learn to measure the rim on the .22LR ammo and group shells according to size. Will greatly improve consistency and accuracy. Get the Hornady Rimfire guage (not precisely the name....check Hornady website). Quick, easy, very beneficial. Get a good scope that has good glass and tracks precisely and repeatedly....and confirm such via shooting the square and tall target tests....learn to true the DOPE for your system.....that cannot be over emphasized. Spend way more on the glass than you do on the rifle. Get a reliable ballistic program (I like Applied Ballistics; or JBM; Hornady 4DOF,...) and Kestrel 5700 enviro station. Will need an accurate rangefinder....range errors really matter. Learn how to use all the above. Takes effort, but that is why it is so much fun. Buy once; cry once. Use for rimfire and then centerfire. [/QUOTE]
