I think they would damage corrugated (it's denser than copper, remember) and ricochet like Hell at certain angles of impact, but at least they wouldn't contaminate the environment or poison anyoneRatting in barns, no damage to corrugated and no ricochets, you may be onto something.

Anschutz all the way then, if you can find a good secondhand 1710 with the heavy barrel grab it, they’re pretty rifles and stupid accurate.
If you’re going new then the world’s your oyster.
As far as ammunition goes, you definitely get what you pay for, the cheaper stuff just doesn’t hack it in competition.
For plinking I’d choose
Cz
R8
Vudoo
Anshutz
Etc etc etc
For bunny head shots at 120m I’d choose…
The same
There really isn’t a bad one - even the 10 22 has a use
You will have to find the right ammo though
Other than that, it is largely fashion
Oh and lots and lots of practice - know your tool well

The whole point of a 22 is subsonics, I can’t see that hurdle being cleared.Lead free bullets: which is best for a .22LR rifle?

They’ll be illegal to use so that’s sort of recommending breaching regulations.
Good thing about 22lr is the subs, won’t work with lead free.
Lead free ammo is no good for what the 22lr does best.
I also shoot a mod. 2 @VSS. They are cracking rifles indeed.

I'll be OK with hi-velocity for plinking, they probably won't actually go subsonic within the range I am shooting (up to 50m).
But if the .22LR market starts to fade away, there will be ripple-effect precautions for all .22LR shooters...
My CZ 457 can take a .17 barrel, so we'll see...

.22 lead projectiles being totally banned is NOT a foregone conclusion of the current examinations of lead use in shooting! How the heck would competition shooting in .22LR rifles and pistols at ANY level go without lead bullets?? Not that I do any of that now, but what harm does/did indoor (or outdoor for that matter) range shooting do to the environment or the food chain(s)??

Oh .. mayb I'll get a 455/457 and if lead ban happens then I'll just variant it to a 17hmr or somthing then

Only in the UK, pretty much everywhere else it’s HV for both small game and plinking.
Target ammo is sub sonic, but nowhere near as popular, which is why the cheap bulk boxes are almost always HVHP.
My local gun shops are festooned with sub £100 rifles in 22lr, most of which include moderator and scope. A CZ fits the bill nicely. A solid work horse that will give you good service for many years to come. They are very little money to buy, so maybe very little money to loose in our uncertain future.

From New HSE consultation launched on lead ammunition
Under the proposals, the use of lead ammunition could continue at approved ranges where mitigation measures for lead removal are in place, with a two-year grace period allowing alternative ranges to adapt. "
Hopefully, this means I can continue plinking... and it also means that the sale of lead ammo won't be banned, just its use.
So I should be fine.... as long as the NRA ranges in Bisley will have "mitigation measures for lead removal"

If their sale is still allowed only for range use then you won't be able to buy expanding or fragmenting rounds.From New HSE consultation launched on lead ammunition

Or just Polish up the sears a little, to vastly improve let-off. Did mine about thirty years ago, best improvement ever, took about an hour from disassembly to trying it out.
