After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel kzfaq.infoUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!

Great video, I bought a Remington 582 when I was 13 years old. Could have purchased a 581 but the gun shop owner convinced my Dad to get the tube fed vs clip fed. His words "never had anybody come in looking of a tube because they lost it" something like that anyways. That was back in 1970. Bought the gun, bushnell rimfire scope, brick of shells, sling and swivels and a soft case, all for $75 out the door. Money I earned myself picking asparagus for 75 cents an hour. Still have the gun today, unchanged from the day I bought it.

Nice review. My first rifle I bought in my early 20's...a Savage Anschutz model 164 Sporter. Absolutely great rifle as far as accuracy. Since then I've added a Marlin model 60, 2 different Ruger 10/22's, a CZ 452 and Henry Mini Bolt to shoot Aquilla Super Colibri ammo. A fellow can't have too many 22's🤠

Christmas gift at 7 yrs old for me. Winchester single shot bolt action with a POS flip lever safety modeled on the Springfield and Mauser. I still have difficulty with that safety. My Dad cut the stock down to fit me and it carried me through NRA Marksman First Class. I still have it and used it for my kids and grandkids. At 7 I could buy ammo in rural California at the corner store and I used shot shells to shoot sparrows out of our chicken feeders. A nickel a sparrow kept me supplied in ammo, candy and Dr. Pepper. I'm not a fan of big game semi-autos and I subscribe to the Jack O'Connor school of get a .22 in the action type that you intend to hunt with. So that means my kids started with the single shot bolt action, moved to a Remington 581 that I cut down and then to a cut down Howa .243 for centerfire experience and a cut down .270 for elk. I'm fixing elk stew tonight from a 5 point bull that my 15 year old grandson shot this fall, 250 yds running, one shot broke both shoulders.

This is all good information here. There is one point I would like to bring to light. That being the difference between an auto loader and the bolt action. With the bolt action, pressure, burned and unburned powder exit only one way. Out the muzzle of the rifle. That means that everything from the bolt face on back will stay much cleaner for a much longer period of time!! However, with the auto loader, it will get dirtier much quicker through the entire receiver because of the blow back design it takes to eject and load the next round. The other action that is much like the bolt is the lever action.

My first 22 rifle was given to me by my father. It was a Glenfield 75. It's a short carbine version of the Marlin 60, which I'm surprised is not in this video as it's one of the most popular 22 rifles in the country. The first 22 rifle that I purchased was a Walther G22. It's a bullpup with a real scifi look to it. It's very accurate and reliable, but no one makes parts or accessories for it. My 3rd was a Marlin 795. It's a model 60 that uses a detachable box mag rather than a tube. It's light, incredibly accurate for having a standard barrel, and is very well balanced. Its also one of the least expensive running between $150 and $180. Mine is configured for Appleseed shoots. My next 4 .22 rifles were 10/22's. I work in the industry so Ruger send me 10/22's for free. It's cool, I know. They are my project guns.

I watched a number of these types of videos over the last year or so. All appear to be nicely done and they provided me with lots of information for the rookie shooter. I, recently, purchased the Savage MK2 GXP with a scope and 100 rounds of .22 LR from Dick's. (208.00 out the door and the service was terrific) I could see from my first couple targets that I need a lot more time on the range but, so far, I couldn't be happier with the gun's performance. It was comfortable in my hands, the magazine loaded well, the "safety" was easy to operate, and my girlfriend likes it's looks. Since this is my first rifle, I did have some trouble with the bolt's operation. I am guessing that the cycling will get better as spend more time with it.

My first 22 was/is a Remington 597. I am glad I got it and NOT a 10/22. IMHO, the 10/22 is over rated. Not as accurate, and costs much more to accurize one to the level of a bone stock 597. I have consistently hit targets the size if the phone I'm posting on out to 225 yards with the stock 4x32 Simmons scope. Only problems I've had with mags is brand new ones that won't hold the full ten rounds. Fill them with 9, add 1 an hour later, and let sit loaded for a week or two to help break in the mag spring. 30 round mags trend to jam if you put more than 26-28 rounds in. My recommendation for Scopes is the BSA SWEET 22 6x18x40 AO. I bought the older model for $65 including shipping from natchez ss with bullet drop turrets, but it hold zero and turrets are good to 175+ yards. Clear glass. A cheek riser helps with scopes too. The factory comb height is ideal for iron sights, not Scopes.

bigsi505 I lucked out and found it on eBay. I believe Jarvis and VQ (volquartsen) or a couple others make barrels for the 597- search rfc for the info. Get the VQ extractor... Mine was never picky per se but it eliminated the occasional stove pipe and kicks brass farther/more consistent. I also polished the bolt, guide rods, all moving parts and points of friction to a mirror finish. If you guys haven't polished your guide rods and added the VQ hammer and extractor and mcarbo spring already, you'll grin ear to ear when you do. I also polished the VQ hammer with a final 2k grit. Roughly 2# break now on a new trigger group with only 200 rounds on it. Old group was just below 2#, but had some pre slop.

Hello again Paul. Last June (2016) I fell off my walker and broke my leg. So the rifle range is out of the question. I purchased some pellet rifles plus some weaker scopes & now I am shooting in my garage at home so as not to lose so much of my marksmanship skills. So I am re-visiting the earlier videos I learned the most from & your's popped up. Anyway, it was a pretty bad break (titanium rod & screws insertion) & at 61 we really don't know how well it will heal completely. Yes your videos really do help me. Sincerely, JAMES.

I'd stay away from the 702,,like they say,you get what you pay for.If you want an inexpensive bolt action,rifle,give the Marlin XT22TR (tube fed) a try.If you want a semi-auto,Ruger 10/22,and it's also magazine fed.Pay a few extra dollars and get a good one.Ruger or Marlin,can't go wrong with either one.

The 702 is OK but you have to get it under $120 for me to say it was an OK deal. If you would even consider spending the money for the Tactical don't, unless you want a cool looking rifle that is only marginal. Watch the movie again and reconsider your options. I would pickup a Mossberg tactical but it would have to be at a very very good price. I'm sure my grandkids would like the way it looks.

I have a 702 and a 10/22...... I like them both, the price $100 & $ 200 respectively may be a factor. But, to your question, I chose the 702 over the 705 because I didn't care for the plastic toy gun appearance of the 705. It looks good,but not worth double the cost of the 702 which is the exact same gun.

This guy is exactly right about the 10/22. I started out with a standard issue 10/22, and I slowly started upgrading every part until I even bought a new receiver, a Volquartsen, (the legal part of the gun) to replace what was the last part of my project, after every other part of the gun, including stock, barrel, trigger group, etc, had been replaced. Essentially, I had built a new gun without any remaining parts from the old one, but it was in stages. And it is a phenomenal gun. Even though I own all kinds of toys with far greater caliber and "prestige value" the gun I am not only proud of the most, but also love shooting the most, is my custom 10/22. GREAT GUN.

@BWDuty605
@BWDuty605 7 жыл бұрын
I completely agree, because with the exception of the 10/22 the Marlin Model 60 is far more popular than any of the other three rifles he shows. I have absolutely nothing against the 10/22, but I was fortunate enough to be given my first .22 at a very young age and it happened to be a Model 60. I think most firearm enthusiasts are in the same boat (not as far as having a Model 60, but being lucky enough to have a parent who cares about their safety and teaches them about firearms at a young age), and their first .22 might not be a "choice". Personally I prefer the tube fed aspect of the Model 60, it holds a ton of rounds without a protruding magazine. I've owned two (one "old" and one "new" style) and I don't believe I've ever had a failure except when using *old* ammo, which is going to happen in any rimfire. In my opinion a first .22 comes down to a 10/22 or a 60, as they have both been around forever and it's extremely rare to hear anything bad about either. The main difference is if you want a magazine that will either only hold 10 rounds or stick out of the bottom, or if you prefer to load in the tube (older models hold 18 rounds, newer 15). I find it much easier to load via the tube than a magazine, unless of course you have extra magazines pre-loaded. Since a .22 rifle is primarily for small game or plinking and not self defense though, I see absolutely no problems with reloading the tube instead of using magazines. It's just a matter of preference -- my dad owns both, I just prefer my Model 60. Another item of note is that the 10/22 has a TON of aftermarket modifications available. With a Model 60 about the best you can do is a black synthetic stock if you want it to look "tacticool". I'm fine with that, I've already spent enough money customizing my AR15! I don't think I will ever have any need to use a .22 rifle in CQB, so I don't need telescoping stocks and picatinny rails and all that good stuff.

If it's your first firearm, I recommend a bolt action single shot. Learn to shoot well before you learn to shoot fast. If you can afford the rifle you can afford to shoot a .22 a whole lot, and that's how you learn to shoot well. Take a hunter safety class whether you intend to hunt or not. Most .22s will shoot well if you find out what kind of ammunition they like. You will not become a National Match champion with a $99 out of the box .22. But you can learn to love shooting and learn to shoot well and safely. Then decide what your next rifle will be.

The Marlin M70 and M60 an M795 are essentially the same guns except two are mag fed and the M60 is tube fed and M70 brake's down and the other two do not. That doesn't change the FACT that the Ruger is a more ruggedly built gun due to the flush mag design and not having a tube that can be dented or bent or a mag hanging out the bottom to be bent or dented as well. To me that makes the Ruger a better gun.

Marlin 39a between 1953 and 1983. these years provide microgroove AND pre cross bolt safety. Shoots Longs, Shorts, and LR. Not picky for any ammo (Bulk) deadly accurate and fun as hell. Downside, they are expensive and only available on the secondary market. Very limited on accessory options and if you only like tactical your SOL. But really, who cant love it?

Back in my hunting days(circa 1969-1970) which I am being call back too, My22 was a Marlin Glenfield 60. Model 795 is definitely in my sites. My olde Marlin could pick mosquitos off barbed wire!! Now at age 70 it will take some practice to allow me to hit the barn wall from inside the barn. In those years took well over 100 squirrel and every single one was in the cast iron with the butter not one once of meat wasted. Cleaning is key with squirrel. Also with the Marlin took many ruffed grouse. You have eaten' no cut of beaf that matches a ruffed grouse off a corn field. They normally eat pine galls so olde timers told once the corn was gone forget it!! Never tested that. They dressed out just a bit bigger than a cornish hen so you would put the 22LR through the back where there was no meat!! In Colorado the hunt will be for the Blue Grouse. Supposed to be good eating. We will see!! Key point for beginning and veteran shooters. With practice your 22LR will outperform those expensive fancy over unders in putting good meat on the table and you won't need a scope because you need to get close especially in the grouse thickets!! Shotguns are classic meat destroyers. You only get 4 small drumsticks on a squirrel so do not go and blow half of it away with a shotgun!! We call those people the "Meat Hunters!!" 2-3 pellets in the breast of a ruffed grouse is madness from a culinary standpoint!!

Paul, great video & a lot of useful info. Through the years I have shared many of the same views you have with my son ( bolt action vs semi auto etc....) Bolt action teaches patience, you don't normaly see snipers with automatic rifles. Two of the 22"s in my collection are Marlins. One is a model 782 in 22 wmr & the other is a model 880 SS in 22 lr. Both are old and bolt action and both are very accurate. Neither one cost a lot of money, but both rifles are well made and your right I'll probably never part with them........Marlin doesn't make junk. Thanks Paul.

The Ruger 10-22 was the worst piece of crap I ever owned though plenty of others seem to like them. I've owned a number of .22's and the best by far is my current Savage. It shoots 1 MOA with match ammo and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The main thing with ANY .22 is to shoot every ammo brand and type you can until you find the one which groups the best. They can and do shoot very differently from each other. Hopefully it will be one that you can get locally at least after this crazy U.S. .22 shortage goes away. If we elect Hellary Clinton, we'll never get enough ammo on the shelves though just like Obama caused. Liberals = trouble.

Remington 597 was my first 22. Bought it after they fixed the magazine issues. I absolutely love it. Spent a little extra to get the model with the scope and was not disappointed. at 50yards at 3x zoom I can get 1" groups on a windy day. It took a little work to get the scope zeroed but once it was my accuracy has been amazing. I've only used 1200+fps rounds as advised by many rounds and haven't had a single jam. $200 was more than fair for this gun and if you can get your hands on some 22 ammo, it's a fantastic gun to go out and enjoy for an afternoon. I believe the basic magazine is said to hold 8 rounds, but you can squeeze 10 into it. With a big box of ammo, you can have an afternoon of fun easily.

Over time I tended to use the Ruger all the time for squirrels and rabbits. Last spring I bought my 2nd - Decided it was time for a stainless. Walked out of the store with a 10/22 stainless and it sported a 16" barrel and a Tapco AR stock. It was expensive. First time we went shooting decided It was worth it!

The trigger on the Ruger does not compare to my Marlins, and the Marlin 60 was made in 1997 and the 80 between 1965 and 1969 and they are still superb. I am even considering selling the Ruger soon.
