With that experience hunting with and reviewing airguns, I\u2019ve put together a list of the best .22 air rifles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019ll start with my standard disclaimer for these types of articles. The \u201cbest\u201d rifle is a subjective measure that depends on its end use and your personal preferences. These are guns that I would choose based on criteria such as accuracy, power, size and weight, cocking action, magazine capacity, trigger, or the cost of ownership. <\/p>\n It would be easy just to select my overall favorite airguns and say, \u201cI\u2019ll take the .22 version of that.\u201d However, I am going to start with a clean slate, ask myself what I\u2019d want specifically in a .22, look at what\u2019s available on the market, and share my top picks. <\/p>\n Photo by Scott Einsmann<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n My top .22 airgun picks are a combination of air rifles I\u2019ve field and range tested on my own and guns from the Outdoor Life air rifle test<\/a>. Air rifles from the test will include group and chronograph data. Groups were shot at 45 yards with the ammo listed for each air rifle. We shot all the air rifles in their stock tune and it\u2019s safe to say with tuning, the groups could be improved. <\/p>\n All of the options below are highly accurate in the right hands and which you choose will depend on your budget and intended use case.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tHow I Chose the Best .22 Air Rifles<\/h2>\n
