.22lr Rifles

[LogarAnton]

Hello everyone.

I’m looking to buy a .22 LR rifle mainly for relaxation and occasional practice shooting at targets (and maybe, at some point, I’ll get more serious about it). I’d be shooting at distances of around 35 meters, up to a maximum of about 100 meters.

I’ve been a licensed hunter for three years, but I don’t really have much experience with .22 LR rifles, so I hope I won’t be asking any stupid questions.

Based on what I’ve read so far and on other people’s experiences, I’m currently leaning toward buying a CZ 457. Could someone please explain the differences between the various models and designations (Synthetic, Royal, Ergo, MDT, Varmint, etc.)?

What scope would you recommend for this kind of use?

I would mostly be shooting on my own property, in the woods behind my house, where it generally wouldn’t disturb anyone. Still, just to be considerate toward the nearest neighbor, I’m thinking about adding a suppressor. Is a suppressor even necessary if I’m shooting subsonic ammunition?

And maybe one last (possibly silly) question: if you shoot a .22 LR a lot, can that negatively affect your shooting with larger-caliber rifles where recoil is involved? I’ve read something along those lines somewhere

I am guessing you aren't from US.There are alot of brands and models of 22s. If you want semi auto,I like the Ruger 10-22,lever action, theres Rossi,marlin and a couple others,theres also pump and bolt action.If you want a scope you can go as high as you want.I just put a rimfire scope 3x9 on my Ruger 10-22.We mostly carry in farm truck for armadillos and other critters. I know some guys that put supressors on them and they say you can hardly hear them.
