I'm looking for a nice 22lr bolt-action rifle. Originally, I had my heat set on one. The Ruger 77/22. My local gun shop had one in and I played with it a little. Than I noticed, It had no sights! So now I'm looking for a nice bolt-action 22LR THAT HAS SIGHTS!!! Any recommendations?
22LR bolt-action?

The CZ's are nice, some come with sights. Currently though I've decided a TOZ 78-04 will be my next 22, after fondling a Winchester Wildcat at Gander Mountain (basically the same gun). Ergos are amazing and it's very light. Plus the 04 model is threaded for a supressor.
If it's in your budget it's hard to beat the CZ452 LUX. Super accurate with a slick action an adjustable trigger.
For considerably less money Savage sells the Mark II FSS with Accutrigger.

Here’s my issue with Ruger, the 77/22 .Standard is $542 on Buds, the CZ 452 American is $366. The CZ 453 American with SST is $489. The CZs are as good (some may argue better than) as the Rugers but provide an outstanding value. And there's no way anyone can say the 77/22 is that much of a 'better' rifle.
To the OP, it seems you have your heart set on the Ruger, and that’s fine. The rifles have no sights to accommodate a scope. I have no idea where you can get a 77/22 with sights but a CZ 452 Lux on Buds sells for just $366 – it has the best iron sights in the business and as noted is very accurate. If you can’t find a 77/22 with sights the CZ Lux would be your next best bet.

There are still some affordable Remington 521Ts floating around in Gunbroker.com. I got a 521T JS for my 8 year old boy, although the rifle is 50+ years old (C&R) it shoots very superb accuracy. I bought it so my boy will lay off my 10/22, but now I like shooting it more than my 10/22. The Lyman sights are precise and will put that bullet on a dime every time.
