I had an 77/22 back in the day, uber accurate rifle, traded toward motorcycle. Probably shouldn’t have done that.Ruger 77-22 with a 3 x 9 Leupold.
Been looking at a 457. But really tempted by the Ruger American Rimfire to..17hmr is my favorite caliber. Got a few CZ’s and a couple Savages. Thinking about picking up a Tikka.
I’ve got both Ruger and CZ 457. Love both of them. I will admit, the CZ has a better trigger and holds tighter groups off the bench.Been looking at a 457. But really tempted by the Ruger American Rimfire to.
Nice to know. But I like the magazine interchange ability of the Rugers.I’ve got both Ruger and CZ 457. Love both of them. I will admit, the CZ has a better trigger and holds tighter groups off the bench.
Agreed it is a very nice feature. And for hunting, the Ruger is more than adequate. Been looking at the .17 HMR recently and will most likely go Ruger again.Nice to know. But I like the magazine interchange ability of the Rugers.
Before my eyesight started changing a few years ago I would have wholeheartedly chosen my Henry Youth lever action .22.
Or even the Remington Fieldmaster pump that @tanstaafl72555 let me borrow for a while.
Both were sentimental favorites.
But, my eyesight did start changing. AND I've decided that from here on out I am squirrel hunting and deer hunting at the same time.
So that brings me to the Bergara BXR Carbon that I used most of this year. Was waiting on my suppressor for the winter season, but had it for the spring season.
I still don't have the scope I want for it but the Vortex does ok for now.
Got 80+ squirrels this go around. And a coyote as well.
I mostly used CCI Standard Velocity (and still do in my regular 10-22 with youth stock) but then switched to CCI Quiet Semi-Auto once the Dead Air Mask finally got freed from jail.
I did still manage to get one or two with the Henry using iron sights and CCI .22 Short Target, but it was not a sexy affair.

I'm lucky enough to be able to wholeheartedly verify this statement!Hunting squirrels is fun. Eating squirrels after my wife has had her way with them is divine!
