best 22 auto for plinking

[68chappy]

Ok I am wanting to pick up a 22 auto to plink with what is the best conservative priced on to get? what is a decent price?

 

[SSGSAD]

Ruger 10/22, around $200.00

Agreed, get an older one with the metal trigger group thingy

Pistol

Since you posted in the handgun section, I'd have to say a Ruger Mk II or MK III. Otherwise, I'd be saying 10/22, also.

22/45 Ruger .....

Yes I am looking for a hand gun I have a 10/22 and agree holeheartedly it is the best plinking rifle for the price but I am talking about a 22 auto. What kind of price does the ruger 22/45 run? new? used?

At $300ish you can get a GSG1911. Hella fun.

Do you have any current handgun that might accept a conversion slide for .22? It seems most makes of pistols have them available now. I've got one for my SIGs, and it works very well. They might save you a few bucks over a dedicated pistol.

I do not own any automatic guns.
but i enjoy shooting the mk II, as well as the ruger 10/22.
I sold one of my old top break 22 revolvers and wish i wouldn't have done it!

 

[68chappy]

no I dont have any to convert at this time...I think your right though they make for almost every make and model.

Yes I have made some mistakes and wish I had them back all I can do is try over the years to find ones like em.

I really like and recommend the Ruger 22/45 Lite! I need to find a little scope to mount on it soon.

 

[68chappy]

so what are the chances of finding something at the 1500?

Not really, it's more like a MKIII with a 1911ish grip and similar control locations.

I like:

Low Cost
Ruger 22's most models
Ruger 22/45 (45ACP Grip angle, feels so good!)
Browing Buckmark (good triggers out of the box, shot my first Master round in Bullseye competition with one, competitiors couldn't believe it).

High Cost
S&W Model 41
Older High Standard Victors

I second the Browning Buckmark. My buddy and I both purchased one and did the 5 minute trigger job. Awesome shooter! Very accurate ( I have the bull barrel)

 

[cqcn88]

+1 on Ruger 22/45. I think I got mine for under $250 out the door. Shoots very accurately, doesn't like flat nosed ammo. Winchester hollow points for example. I use remington thunderbolt and never have any trouble.

22/45 Ruger .....

I have a Taurus Tracker. 12 shot 22 revolver. great for plinking but it's not a clip fed auto like you are looking for. I had a nice little 22 plinker but i forget what it was. came with two barrels, 3" and 5"

Here is a review that I did of the Buckmark and 22/45 a few years ago. You honestly cannot beat these 2 models in terms of quality for the price that you pay.
