[QUOTE="Go_Ordnance, post: 3176533, member: 7266"] For the money, the 10/22 is hard to beat. They can be finicky and accuracy is plinking quality. The S&W 15-22 is about $100 more, and is a great gun that handles LOP issues for the little ones. For a "nicer" .22LR, the CZ 512 is quality and probably better than the current production Remington 552 Speedmaster. At the expensive end is the Browning SA-22. Cabelas and gunshows are usually littered with old .22s. My uncle picked up an old Winchester 74, cleaned up the stock with a new coat of tru-oil and had the receiver and barrel reblued. It shoots great. Don't know how handy you are, but spending some time with Grandpa fixing up their guns would be a lifetime of memories. There's a lot to be said for bolt actions too, and I'm not sure why you didn't include them. CZ's 455 series are great quality and stupid accurate. [/QUOTE]
