Buying a new .22

I would go Anschutz, Cooper, Kimber in order of preference. However, unless you have ammo equivalant to the rifle, these may be overkill on the wallet. If the ammo is inconsistant, a $2000 dollar rifle will not shoot any better than a $150 dollar one. If money is no object enjoy a finely machined piece of rifle art . Otherwise you may do just as well with one of the Marlin or Savage bolts.

Addict makes a good point in that there's no reason to shell out large amounts of cash for a fine rifle if decent ammo is not available. I would consider any of the CZ, Marlin or Savage bolt-actions as better options. All will shoot well with a variety of ammo, and all are from well established companies so parts will be available. Another good choice is the Magtech 122.2 if you can find one. It's basically a Brazilian Remington and mine shoots really well with PMC Zappers--made in Mexico.

On that subject, I've found the Mexican PMC .22 ammo to be really good. Maybe they export the good stuff and keep the cr*p for the home market.

Sorry to hear that buying a rifle in Mexico is such a pain. I've always known that the gun laws there were strict (and I live in California). Hope we've been able to help and please let us know what you find.

Thanks for the advise.......... Anschutz what model?
Now that I have been browsing this site and seen so many problems with Kimber I will consider the other 2.
Mark, as you say they probalbly make PMC and export it since there is no such ammo here.

I have been very pleased with Aguila .22 ammo,it shows to be made in Cuernavaca, Mor. Mexico. I shot a whole brick with no failures.
