[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2495281, member: 118816"] There are enough high priced rimfires out there that if you want to spend a lot of money to get an accurate .22 by all means do so. To my way of thinking, which some will take offense to, any accurate rifle out of the box beats spending a lot of money on a custom job just to say that it's custom. I am an accuracy nut, I like accurate rifles and have found that there are many inexpensive rifles out there that shoot sub moa groups all day at [B]100 yards.
