Walther Hammerli Force B1 | .22 LR | 16.1 in | 10-Rd

The Walther / Hammerli Force B1 is a rimfire sporting rifle chambered for .22 LR with a 16.1-inch barrel and a laminated wood (sports gray) stock. It ships with a removable 10-round magazine and features a threaded muzzle and an integrated accessory rail for optics and accessories. The action is provided as a straight-pull style within the bolt-action family and the rifle also includes a toolless quick-change barrel system for caliber or length transitions.

For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 mounted to the factory rail for general plinking, rimfire accuracy work, and small-game use.
