I have a Winchester 52C Sporting and a Savage 19NRA and both of these guns are amazingly accurate. With the right ammo either one will put 5 rounds into a dime sized group at 50 yards.
Oddly enough the Win loves CCI Blazer as well as Federal Match, and Wolf. The Savage likes Wolf and Federal Match.
3 yrs ago and you missed CZ 452 and following models. You also missed the 69A.
OK, you are talking about SPORTERS. But, you did not say so in the vid’s title, A good post. But, will you ever review mid-priced .22 rifles like the KIMBER OF OREGON GOVERNMENT and the precision ANSCHUTZ 54.30 ?
I am 74 years young, and have been squirel hunting for around 62 years. I have had the pleasure of owning both 52 and 541-S, They both shoot better than I ever could. I prefer the rem 541-S because it is lighter.
G’day the .22 at the top of the table in front of you can you spell that for me i think that is the model my dad had and i would love to try and find one for my self as it was a great .22 lr. Thanks in advance.
I bought my CZ452 ultra lux, last year… but the other 2 I didn’t have it but… the CZ is one of the best .22 I ever own… love it… look long barrel is sexy, but some do like some don’t… but I shot it.. it’s extremely accurate … thumb up for CZ…
Mike, you should make lots of 1/2 hour videos !
when you finally explained how you view the rifle as fire arm art…it all made sense. till that point i was yelling at the screen saying the cz is by far the best (not that i am biased lol )

I was faced with the best 22lr bolt-action dilemma a while ago…ended up with a Tikka T1x and it’s awesome. I’m still going to get a CZ because it was the other choice and I do like it too…don’t think you can go wrong with either one. I use a variety of CCI 22 ammo and it all works great.
I bought a CZ 452 Style in 2011 just before they were is continued. It has a Nickle finish and synthetic Monte Carlo stock with no sights. I put a Burris Fullfield 3-9×40 on it and shoots MOA consistently.
Parlor pistol. Was like darts back in the day.
Usually when I find a channel I watch a few videos before I subscribe, but when I first saw one of your videos (on the Rossi pump) I subscribed halfway through the video, I really enjoy your presentation.
That wad cutter looked like it was a DIY project. 🙂
You need to get a Ruger 77/22 and review it. I believe you’ll see that it is in the same class of fine rifles as those you’ve revived in this video. I do agree with you judgement of the Winchester 52 a being the Zenith of .22 sporter quality, but the Ruger and Remington 541S are also in the high class range of 22 bolt spotters, also the Browning T bolt is a worth member of that class as well. Perhaps the finest of all would be the Cooper Arms "Jaskson Squirrel" rifle.
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Sir do you have experience with Steyr Zephyr/2 and what do you think of it. Great video.
who is the maker of that lovely little pistol in the beginning of the video?
Thank you for another great video. I just became the proud owner of a CZ 455 Trainer. Would you happen to have any information about the scope mount on the CZ 455 in your video? I would like to put optics on my CZ 455, and I am currently researching mounting options. Thanks again!
I love the Remington 513T and the Kimber Hunter Sillhouette
Funny thing, finding a used 7722 is difficult and expensive. Anywhere between 850 to over 1000 dollars, and they are usually sold by auction before I can get my hands on one Ruger should still make them.
There is no doubt (I mean .22LR):
#1= Anschultz
#2= Sako
#3= Tikka, Weihrauch, Krico 301
…
#10+ some of the American rifles that are not good at all!
I believe you are likely right, but for me the Remington 541-T is irreplaceable. The modified 6 lug bolt from the Model 788 center fire action in a 22LR rim fire is quite unique.
This Guy have some jewells Guns my god
Great video. It is hard for anyone of us to say what the best .22 bolt action is because it is doubtful than anyone of us have extensively shot all of the top tier rifles. I understand what you are doing by comparing the big companies offerings with each other. Cooper, Kimber, and Dakota all made high end bolt action .22 rifles. I think CZ are very good shooters but their triggers and bolts do not put them in the same class as the Winchester and Anschutz. Some people are paying up to $800 dollars for a 452 now. I’ve owned a 452 in the past and while they are nice rifles they aren’t $800 dollars of nice. Maybe 5 to 6 bills of rifle in my opinion. 77/22 is my go to rifle but the stock triggers are really heavy. I’ve replaced mine and it is one hell of a shooter and in my favorite caliber .22 WMR. I would place the Ruger in a tier below the 52 Winchester and 54 Anschutz. The 77/22 action is much better built than the CZ which almost feels Marlin-esque. I hate Marlin Bolt actions. Want something cheap but accurate buy a Savage.
Bolt actions are fun.
The 2021 CZ Jaguar has a threaded barrel. I bet that is really quiet with a suppressor with standard velocity (1080fps) ammunition.
CZ is certainly worth every penny! Awesome rifles and great video!🤙🏼
I shoot the CCI Quiet 22’s in my CZ 457. Neighbor thought it was a pellet gun. Long barrel, tight lock-up = QUIET. Use the Doctor’s Disclaimer: “In MY hands…..”
Thank you !
It is a very pretty gun and shoots verywell. Mine has probably 100 rounds thru it shooti g squirrels and a few woodpeckers that was chewing up my house
I thought we had all agreed many years ago that the all time best .22 sporter was the Brno Model 5. …followed by the Brno Model 2.
I got to handle a Model 52 Sporting today, a near perfect example made in 1935, it was exquisite. There may have been better .22 sporting rifles made but I haven’t seen any I would choose over the Model 52.
I recently picked up a 1937 Remington 341. I’m gonna drill and tap for a scope, and gonna also do a trigger job on it.
No Cooey model 60 then this list is missing the true champ.
If I had to choose one it would be the Anschutz every time, Having owned one for over 20years zero’ed at 50yards along with a quality scope, It as never been changed since!!! The rifle as been well used for culling Rabbits, In all this time the bore as only been cleaned 10 times! As never let me down once, By the way I’ve only had one rifle in my life having read Homer Keith’s (American) book on shooting and guns in which he states the best rifle to buy in 22lr is an Anschutz bolt action rifle match accuracy reliable, Cheap to buy S/hard use Winchester subsonic you ammo you wont be disappointed!!
Marlin 82 is the best 22 bolt action
Good
Hi. I found an old Squire Bingham with nice checkering and cheek-riser. Nice woodwork. Looks like a 14-D?
Not much I can find out about them. The rifle is in fabulous condition and I like the trigger-break and small straight-bolt. Like a mini- M-96 sporter. Cheers
I’m a huge fan of CZ. We have several 457’s (one is the jaguar model) and one 455 scout which is great for small kids to learn on .
I also have a remington 341p bolt that is a fine shooting rifle

I really enjoy my Voere .22’s The German made bolt action is a exceptionally easy to shoot well.
My favorite bolt action 22 long rifle is the very old Winchester model 67 single shot,, it’s not very elegant but it’s the most accurate 22 I’ve ever shot, thanx to the long barrel and long sight radius,, it’s a damn fine shooter,,& it will shoot with the best "fancier" brand name rifles,, it’s more accurate than most anything else I’ve shot…Thanks Mr.USOG,,..by the way where are you,, i live in the Southeastern part of the U.S. in the Carolinas
My first was a browning t bolt in 1969 in think
Hello and thank you for your educational and informative videos. I came across a Polish made Circle 11 Model 1954 today in a pawn shop with an asking price of $500.00. They believe, but they are not sure, that it is a .22 LR caliber. It looks to be in an average used condition. I am not able to find any information on the internet about this rifle and I’m wondering if you would have any insight into these. Thank you.

I would not change my 455 HB for any other rifle.
Savage/Anschutz .22.
I know what you mean by art. I like most all guns, but I gravitate to minimalism. A walnut stock, no checkering like my 722.
