22lr bolt acvtion rifle question

[drpc]

A friend wants to buy a 22LR bolt action rifle and plans on purchasing a Reminton because it's a familiar name. I have heard that since Freedom Group took over Remington some models have had problems. I know Ruger is still an independant company, how do their bolt action rifle compare to Remington? Or Browning?Are there any other brands that you can recommend in place of Remington? Money is not a big factor, he's willing to spend a few bucks. Mainly for his son to plink with.

Savage Mark II. Those little rifles still impress the hell out of me with how accurate they are out of the box.

I have a Savage Mk II and a CZ 452 Varmint. Both are boringly accurate with Wolf MT or SK JAGD (same ammo different box).
The fit and finish on the CZ is much better, however it is also more $. Neither is any more accurate than the other, one ragged hole..

I've had a couple of Marlins over the years in 22lr and 22 mag. All good guns and all accurate.

CZ or Savage FTW. I just bought another (MK II FV-SR) and its becoming one of my favorite guns to shoot.

I have a Remington 541S from 80's and it will shoot anything good, but the stuff it likes all line up in the same hole.

I have a recently purchased Ruger M77/22lr in walnut/blue. I haven't shot any other bolt actions and, now, probably never will. I can't imagine any other rifle being more accurate than this Ruger. Same hole shots are common. This is the finest 22lr I have ever owned. There may be other bolts that shoot as well but, I will never own one.
