Who makes a good 22 LR semi-auto rifle??

A $1,000?? Wow that would be a dandy. I bought mine a few years back for $525. And I had it built for that. It has a LH laminated TH stock, Green mountain fluted barrel, upgraded trigger group, and extended magazine release. I had it built from scratch. 10-22's actions are readily available. And a green Mountain will be enough for anybody that I know. I also bought the standard weight GM barrel. I did not want a bull barrel.

Here is a link to the guy who built mine. Give him a call. He was a really nice guy to talk to. He did what he said he was going to do. And I had the rifle in about 1-1/2 weeks.

They may have went up a litle since I bought mine. But still reasonable. I could not get one anywhere else for the price he gave me. But I think he buys alot of actions. Tom.

Here's what self loaders cost at retail in 1972:

Rem. M552BDL: $80
Rem. MB66 (Mohawk): $60
Marlin M49 (Pre M60): $60
Mossberg M430: $63
Savage M60: $58

Browning Grade 1: $100
Winchester M290: $63

Ruger 1022: $56 ($64 for the sporter version w/monte carlo stock)

Generally speaking, the Marlins may well be a few dollars cheaper now, than Ruger 1022s, but the Rugers could still be found for around $190 for the birch stocked "plain Jane" version last year.

For plinking, marlin would be my choice!
