What are your thoughts on the SA2020? .22 CAL.

[HayesGreener]

I Am thinking about a classic .22 to train grandkids. I want quality, not cheap.

I like the fact they can use Ruger 10/22 mags as well

Only the 10 round ones, the others have to be modified.

They are nice, bolt works smooth and are dead silent with a suppressor.

Seems as quality a rifle as other brands. Uses 10/22 mags and a rem 700 trigger style makes it a good style of rifle.
Drawback is that is does not seem to have a threaded barrel for suppressor

Will work for you as well with critters around the pond

Edit: seems Beltfed suppressed his

Mine is threaded for suppression

The Model 2020 Rimfire Target’s 20” heavy barrel features a straight-taper contour as well as a 1/2-28 threaded muzzle with included thread protecter muzzle cap.

The wood stock models don't have a threaded barrel.

Only drawback to them is i ain't figured out how to put an FRT in one yet.

I shoot std velocity CCI only from mine, with a 36x scope, benched, it surpassed the guarantee and shot half inch groups at 50 yards.

Definitely has a threaded barrel. At least mine does.

For the money, I would get a CZ457.

Get a CZ 457. Skip anything else for a quality .22 rifle but add a 10/22 for cheap unstoppability. im using a 10/22 to teach the next generation. short and easy to handle for a 10 year old. cz 457 to show them a .22 can be really precise. then a 12 gauge when theyre older to show how powerful a gun can be.

Get the 2020 for teaching the grandkids and the CZ for yourself. Problem solved.
CZ is probably better quality but the SA would work just fine for what you want it for.
If about equally priced I’d go for a CZ457.

 

[mikep]

Or… pick up a Winchester Model 69a on GB for about the same price. It will be more accurate than the SA and higher quality.

I like mine, it’s fun to slow down and just enjoy a couple boxes. I use the cheapest 22lr magtec, since I literally bought a lifetime supply of it. I am able to hit the steel at 150 so it’s accurate enough.
