not bad, when I saw bass pro I was worried I’m a gunbroker.com whore because I don’t pay transfer fees.

You’ll have to give us an update as to if you like it. Both of mine are about 7 years old so I don’t know if Savage has changed anything

As far as recs rifle recs, it depends on how much you want to spend.
Lower cost, ranked from most to least desireable:
Savage MII (I really like mine).
Ruger 77/22. If you can find one on the used market, you'll have an accurate, wood stocked 22LR. OTOH, I doubt you'll find one w/ a threaded muzzle.
Ruger American. Based on reputation alone (since I've never shot one) and the Ruger rotary magazine.
Howa Model 1100 (Howa has magazine feeding issues that are well documented on YouTube videos). Mine is reasonably accurate, but not as accurate as the Savage. Mine has mag feeding issues.

Higher cost: CZ, based on reputation. I've never owned one, but I've hunted w/ one of my buddies a lot and his 17 HMR is really accurate
Tikka T1X. I like mine. It's really accurate.
Bergara. Nice reputation. I'll probably buy one in a few years.

OTOH, if you decide to run suppressed ammo instead of "Quiet", that opens up the world of semi-autos. If you go w/ a semi-auto, I really like my 10/22's.

Ammo: If the gun is going to be suppressed, I'd shoot subsonic ammo instead of CCI's "Quiet." I played around briefly w/ "Quiet" and it was not as accurate as regular subsonic ammo. In my guns, my favorite subsonic are CCI Standard Velocity (round nose), CCI Subsonic HP and Aguila Subsonic HP (but my 22/45 hates this ammo and I've not seen in stock for a 1-2 years). The trajectory for "Quiet" is not nearly as flat as subsonic so the gun's scope settings will need to be dedicated for that ammo/gun combination.
Savage MII and night coon hunt.

That’s a great list, thanks! I went with the Savage bolt rifle bc I’ll mostly shoot the anemic CCI Quiet. 710fps of pure fury.

Hey, I live in an HOA. I’m doing the best I can.

I shoot quite a bit of these.

The CCI quiet segmented round is very effective. I’ve taken swimming beavers with them and many squirrels. That segmented bullet that they load all the way from quiet to mini mag really is pure fury. I carry a Browning BL-22 loaded with the quiets on daily walks with the pup.

I paid $269. With tax it was $292. I have a basspro credit card and live five mins away so I prefer buying from there if it’s all the same. I hate paying for shipping or FFL that comes with buying online.

You probably came out on the better side of this by not having to pay the transfer and not paying for shipping.

also not recommended to to shoot those out of rifles (I have often) or suppressors.

Really? Why ?

There is a CCI quiet semi auto that is 835 fps. I’ve shot it out of an internally suppressed mark 2 and it was awesome.

Yep, I bought a bolt Ruger last year that accepts the normal 10/22 clips , put a Dead air mask on it, and with subs, I just started laughing…

^^^ and this...if you're using a can, the Eley subsonics will be just fine. Huge different in accuracy in 1100 fps vs 710 from CCI
