WTB- Bolt or Lever Action .22

[Ted]

I am looking for a reasonably accurate .22 for playing 'payback' on some squirrels after the deer season.

Figured I'd try some squirrel stew as the venison didn't work out this year.

In a perfect world I am looking for a Savage MKII or a Henry Lever.

I only have a budget of around $200 so it really needs to be a used model.

Not looking for any semi-auto's and not looking for one to be shipped, so it needs to be reasonable travel (Im in Niagara County).

PM me if you have something your willing to part with.

Thanks.

For 200 beans you should be able to find a nive savage brand new. I bought a semi-auto savage 22. and have shot thousands of rounds threw it without a problem.

And lever or bolt comes down to what you deisre.

Good luck with your purchase.

My Savage MKii was $139 brand new from a local gun store. Have you tried looking in your local stores?

[Ted]

Yes, local stores are all out.

Checked at Buds online and there is a HUGE backlog on all orders.

'Stretcher', $139 sounds like a great deal, give you $150 for it, lol.

I like bolts, had a Remington Nylon 11 which the ex got in the deevorce. She won't sell it to me now. Used a pump, now have a Ruger 10/22 with the Mannlicher stock. I prefer the bolt and would give my eye teeth to get my Remington back. Could hit a plastic bottle cap at 30 yards consistently with it

Yeah for 200 you should be able to get something new. I bought my son a 10/22 a while back. Don't remember the exact price but it was under 200 for sure.

[Ted]

Yeh, its looking like I am going to probably buy a Savage MKII (I have owned these before and was very impressed at there accuracy out of the box) and I will get it from Buds and take a gamble on how long it takes to ship.

When ever I sell a gun to my local gun store I always get him to throw in a 'free future FFL transfer' in the deal so it wont cost me an FFL fee to buy a gun from Buds.

Thanks for the advice guys.

OK, plans and budget have changed, now trying to do it closer to $100 so anyone with an old Marlin model 25 or something let me know. Still prefer bolt.
