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/

I mean if you’re choosing between a brand new rifle that comes with ammo or an old busted Cooey that needs stock and bluing work then I don’t think the decision is as difficult as it seems. That being said, buy both

If he has the money for both then he should just get a 10/22

I've had a 1988 10/22 for 30 of it's 38 years and now have a 2016 one with the SS barrel and an ArchAngel Precision Stock in Desert Tan with adjustable cheek riser and length of pull. Got the original black poly stock with it as well.

For the target shooting I like doing I'd like to get a decent bolt action .22 with a similar type aftermarket stock. Bolt actions should give better results at longer ranges as they aren't giving up bullet power to slam a bolt back with every shot. I have 100yd in my back yard for target shooting with the 22s or shotguns and an abandoned gravel pit just 4 miles away with about 150yds of space for my bigger pew-pews.

That's true, if OP is looking for accuracy he's better off with a bolt. Personally if I'm shooting for accuracy I'll do it with something stronger but to each his own

I needed some outdoor hobbies in my retirement so getting back into fishing and shooting. I'll be target shooting .22 at home and elsewhere and reaching out much further elsewhere with my Enfield .303 equipped with a new 10-50X60 Nikko Stirling Diamond scope sitting on it now. Talking to a buddy in town today and he belongs to a gun club with up to 1000yd range so will be joining that one this spring I think. He goes to shoot his handguns and if I buy my own ammo I'll get to play with those too.

Need to sight in the scope on my .270 as well and I'd like to zero it at 200yds.

Shopping around now for a bolt action .22 I can put a scope on. See how it's range and accuracy compares to the 10/22s.
