I only have one bolt action .22 and it's a Winchester Model 69A.
The other .22 rifle I own is a Ruger 10/22 ;)

My .22 bolt action is a Ruger 77/22 with a Weaver 2X7 on it. Great rifle. Darn thing shoots so well that its almost boring. ;)

Each of my sons has a Marlin bolt action and I play with them myself on occassion. Gotta love those Marlins. Excellent accuracy and priced right. :D

I have a Winchester and a Remington single shot! I received them in my youth. (just prior to the invention of the wheel) :)

I have a Rem 541 T HB (leupold 6.5x20). I shoot it a lot.
I am just too lazy to go through the cleaning routine on
my .308 . Ammo is cheap, its quiet, and accurate.

I've got .22's in pumps, levers and semi-autos but no bolt actions or single shots. But I have always been partial to the Marlins. There are also those Romanian .22 single shots out there available for well under a hundred bucks for people looking for their first one of one for a kid.

None. My Anshutz (the one with the integral suppressor and Tasco scope) is still in the "#%#¤&¤/ store after I broke the bolt. :rolleyes: (I was bored and couldn't sleep so I decided to take the darn thing apart. Always a bad idea at very early A.M... :rolleyes: Lost a very very small part.) It's been over two months already! :(

I have bolt action Rugers and they are excellent guns, but come with lousy factory triggers in my opinion, so:

My 77/22 has a Dayton Traister trigger and Volquartsen Sear.

My 77/22M has a trigger job done by Randy at CPC.

I also have a 77/44 (.44 Magnum) that has a Volquartsen sear installed with the factory trigger, and it improves the trigger pull immensely all by itself.

All three wear a Simmons Pro Diamond 1.5x-5x 32mm, matte finish, scope in the factory Ruger rings and I'm quite pleased with their performance.

I got my rifle back tod... yesterday. ( :p ) Woohoo! Now the only problem is that I didn't have time to go and shoot it. Have to wait until at least next week, maybe even longer. :( Oh well. If I make it to Lapland this summer, it should be the perfect environment for my little rifle... ;) (Where's the "evil"-smilie? Hey! People! I'm a member here and you don't have an "evil"-smilie?!? Tsk, tsk... :p )

TO3-8M Russian, single shot.

I'm drooling for a CZ 452 American, but I found some Europeans (Lux) for $229.

Guys,

How about a Winchester Model 52-B with a Tasco 6 x 24 scope. Made in Japan, I know, but a VERY accurate shooter nonetheless. With Eley ammo it'll keep'em within an inch and a quarter at 100 yards.

Also shoot a couple of Mossberg US-44 Army training rifles from 1943 & 1944. Also very accurate with ammo they like. Will keep 10 shots inside 2-1/2 inches at 100 yds. This with iron sights too.....

Fun & cheap.

Swampy- Welcome to FFF. Glad you joined us. :)

Currently there isn't a 22 turn bolt in the safe. The last one I had was a present for my oldest god son. Its a single shot 22s 22l 22lr Springfield model 81, made in 1952, with a rose wood stock, and an apple wood tip. Who ever made the stock put a lot of time and work into it. Its a gorgeous rifle. One of these days I need to talk Darth Dadoo into posting a photo of it.
