Top 5 Best 22 LR Rifles for Hunting You Can Actually Trust

There's a .22 in your house right now. Maybe it was your daddy's. By the end of this, you'll know whether it's one of the five I'd trust to take hunting, and where it lands. Or whether it made the list at all. I spent seven years behind a gun counter and thirty years as a wildlife officer in upper East Tennessee, checking the rifles men actually carried. Every rifle here had to answer three questions: How long have I watched it in men's hands? When it fails, can a man fix it on his own bench? Will it take a squirrel with the ammunition you buy at the co-op? Rifles covered: Ruger 10/22, Marlin Model 60, Savage Mark II, CZ 452, CZ 457. 📖 The Gun You Think You Know: [https://wendellcoffey.com/] The bench section tells you what a shop charges, what the job costs you, and where to stop. It also names six jobs I won't teach, and why. Tell me in the comments which .22 you learned on, who handed it to you, and where that rifle is right now.
