Re: What is the best bolt action rimfire ?

Back in '86 or '87, I picked up one of those Chinese-made "Clayco" bolt action 22s. Nothing special: iron sights, 5-shot detachable box magazine, plain-as-can-be wood covered with a colored lacquer. The wood got stripped and refinished, the action and mag de-burred, and then it got shot. A lot. This was my designated "teaching" rifle, used to introduce kids to shooting iron sights on a rifle. In addition to my own shooting, more than 120 kids (and more than a few adults) put at least 1,000 rounds apiece through it.

Given the original low-cost, and the working nature of the rifle, I took care of it "farmer-style". At the end of the day, I'd remove the stock and soak the metal overnight in the parts-washer. Come morning, I'd wipe it down and run a dry patch through the bore, then re-assemble and lube.

It was a good rifle, and one of my favorites of all the rimfires I've owned.
