Best 22 ?

[OurDee]

Browning Buckmark is my personal choice.

So many choices, and I've had a few, but the one that I wish I still had is a Beretta 87. Pricey, but worth it.

Big CZ fan here been my competition gun for years so I have the Kadet conversion for plinking practice. Eats most ammo I try and feed it.

Hard to beat a cz with a kadet for sure.

How is the P322? Is it reliable like the TX22? Decent accuracy?

Accuracy was on par. Reliability is as good if you insure mags are loaded correctly. It’s a process. Not like tx where you can just throw them in.

I like being able to just load up and shoot without having a loading ritual

Same. That’s why I no longer have the 322. I was pretty good at it but everyone else who shot it seemed to mess it up. Wasn’t worth it for me because of wife and kids shoot the 22s a decent amount and it was a pain for them to load. Could it be taught and get better by practice, of course, but it’s more fun to spend time shootinf then focusing on loading

I sold a Beretta 87 back in December 2020.
Never sold a gun I liked so much.
One of those I wish I'd kept, but I was in one of my "trimming" modes.
I tried to post a target from a previous thread but it wouldn't load up.
It could do all rounds in my 1.75" circles at 21', but inconsistently, which was irritating.
Bought it in pristine condition for $800 + 42 tax plus wood handles ($60, I think).
All in for about $900, a real splurge for me, but I'd wanted one for 2 yrs.
I happened to stop by a gun shop I hardly frequent any more since they closed the range.
They had just gotten in the 87, with the ultimate "profile" that I look for in a used gun.
I just happened to have the cash on me, which was unusual b/c I was taking it home to put in the safe for future gun purchases, haha!
Sold it for $800.



1st 5 circles are the 87.

That was a pretty gun but did not shoot well enough to justify price. Assuming yours wasn’t a one off but that the model isn’t all that great except in the looks department.
