You can consider picking up a single shot .22 rifle, these are not in demand and hence retail for between 8-15,000/- depending on how well you can bargain.

The IOF .22 costs around Rs. 45k in Delhi including taxes. I've been following up with dealers for the last few months but there aren't any new ones in stock. Have been told they should get some in mid January. You might want to see what the situation in Lucknow is.

Single shots are good alternate options if you have the eye to pick up a good rifle.

Welcome to the forum Guardian. I can point you towards a good imported rifle within your budget. My email address is given in the Guns Wanted (Buy/Sell) columns of this forum.

All the best.

Abhijeet,

What's a single shot .22? Is it like a breech loader?

Hello Kandarp,

Single shot .22 rifles are most commonly of the bolt action type. In the UK, underlever Martini actions were popularly used for target shooting, being known as match rifles. They were made by BSA, Greener, Westley Richards etc. Hope this helps.

All the best.

Any idea how much a Ruger 10/22 costs in India? I am sure there must be some around as it is a pre-1980 gun, or is it prohibited because of it being Semi-Auto?
What are some of the good Imported 22's available and what price range?

Would be grateful if any of the senior knowledgeable folks pitch in.. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. So it's safe to call a bolt action with a magazine a single shot? Or are there bolt actions without a magazine? (sorry if I sound stupid!)

You are right Kandarp. There are bolt action rifles without magazines in .22 as well as in larger calibres. These are single shot rifles. Some of the larger bores are even used by big game hunters in America and Africa. The Ruger Number 1 Single Shot bolt action rifle is a case in point.

All the best.

Which imported .22 rifles can be bought in 1.5 lakhs? Would they be better than any .22 handguns?

No. A bolt action with magazine is a (bolt action) repeater. Any cartridge firearm is a breechloader.
