It is hard to go wrong with a .22 rifle. I have seen Federal bulk pack .22 on sale as low as 2.8 cents a round recently. It is my favorite bulk .22 ammo.

There are pictures of the rifles at the site.

Stingers are ok, but now I prefer the Velocitors. They are very accurate, and have the full 40 grain hollowpoint traveling at over 1400 fps.

7 inches of drop at 100, shoots like a 308 at 600.

None of the .22LR's in the list compare with the "American 180".

Is that a belt fed .22? What the heck is it?

Can’t say enough abot CCI Stinger ammo. I use them on rabbits and squirrels and, if head shot, the settle the argument - NOW. Actually, they hit so hard and have such nice expansion for a .22 that they usually explode Thumper’s head. Not a pretty thought, but they don’t run off to die someplace in pain or where you can’t use them.

I still love my old ‘Remington Nylon 66’, and after 30+ years it still shoots great. In fact, lately I’ve considered making a hobby out of refurbishing them. :)

I was hoping to see the CZ 452/455 on the list.
They’re great guns and the craftsmanship is far superior to anything else on the list.

Sure, a 10/22 should ALWAYS be on the list, and it doesn’t have to be the takedown. In fact, the takedown version precludes any barrel or stock changes. Nice, but not necessary.

That’s a .22LR belt-fed upper receiver and barrel assembly for the AR-15. Do a web search for “Razorback .22LR” to see more.

Thats pretty freakin cool.

The other project that I love to keep track of is the various mini-gun creations using the .22LR.

What I also would be interest in machining is a Skorpion style .22LR machine pistol with a circular integral magazine around the barrel that would hold anywhere of 50 or more rounds.

The Mossberg Tactical 22 is also a real winner.  It is light, 25 rd mag, adjustable stock.
