1. Im left handed, I didnt mind shooting a right handed bolt action Saving Private Ryan style. Anyone have an opinion - should lefties invest in left handed rifles?
2. For a mixture of hunting and target shooting whats thew best value 22 rifle/scope combo? Im hearing good things about CZ and Tikka.
3. Is 22 HMR worth a look? I have a 22 pistol so figure its just easier to sticking to the same calibre.
4. For target shooting is the bean bag kind of cheating? I was able to shoot a 2.5 inch group @ 50 using a mate's Tikka T1X with a bipod but without out the bag/rest - I refused to use it held up the stock with my trigger hand. First time beginners luck I think
5. Was considering getting lever action everything but everyone tells me its less accurate?
Thnx

I don't rate any "magnum" rimfire, the ammo is pretty expensive. I think you would be better off with reduced loads from a 223 or 222.

Do yourself a favour and have a look at them and winchester 9422
Your chances are not good in getting one, people snap em up really quick, and they don't come up that often, because they are so good
