Curious what y'all would suggest for a cheap bolt. 22. Caught between a norinco or a used coey model 60. Open to other suggestions too https://www.gotenda.com/product/norinco-jw-15a-22-lr-bolt-action-rifle-wood-w-ammo-combo/

Hard pass on both; questionable whether they'll function at all. I've had norks, and cooeys.... the savings are NOT worth is. They're not fun in the slightest. Awkward, stiff actions that grate and bind and feel like there's sand in them, sloppy triggers with a mile of creep and a gritty 'edge', sights are trash.

For an extra $50 or so you can start to find much better 22's on the used listings that'll be much less disappointing. Savage/Cooey Mark 2, for example. Or a mossberg. Or marlin. Really, basically anything is going to be better than the two you listed; it's difficult to find a worse gun

Yeah, you're basically throwing away money IMO. I was almost embarrassed to sell mine off - but the buyer seemed okay with it.

I don't think they're dangerous to the user, at least
