My dad has been looking for something to practice and plink with at the range he likes the affordability of both calibers. I had originally recommended using a Ruger 10/22 however I don't really know anything about bolt rifles let alone ones chambered in either caliber.
Does anyone have some suggestions on some good quality bolt action rifles chambered .22LR or .223 They must have irons since he doesn't own any kind of optics.
I think he said his price range was around $500-$600.
So far I've looked only at what Ruger has had to offer, since they are reknowned for the .22 caliber rifles and pistols.
Something similar to the Ruger77/22 but with Irons I think would be ideal and is what he'd most likely be wanting.
EDIT: I was looking at a Savage Arms "Rascal" has anyone had experience with this rifle before? It appears to be extremely affordable and has all the features that my dad would want in a .22LR BA rifle.
