KB Fab Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have a few different .22 lr handguns. It really depends on what you want to do with it. Plink, train, etc, etc. The ones I have are a Heavily modded Ruger MKIII, a few Ruger single action revolvers, and an ISSC M22. The ISSC looks and feels like a Glock 19. There are LOTS of options these days. Best if you can get to a place where you can try a few out. Are there any ranges in your area that rent them?

Sukhoi_fan Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 You didn't specify rifle or sidearm. If you want a tack driving .22 rifle then I suggest a good clean used Marlin Golden 39A (or 39M), preferably pre-crossbolt safety. Avoid 'Rem-lins' (any Marlin made in the past couple of years in the Remington plant after 'Freedom' Group closed the New Haven plant). 10/22 rifles are nice rifles and I have one myself, but bone stock they are only so-so however there are tons of aftermarket barrels and such to tighten up your groups with.I If you're wanting a pistol Ruger makes the very nice Single Six and their Mark II series (my gunsmith advises avoiding the Mark III Ruger pistols) - have no info regarding Ruger's latest .22 pistol the SR22 but I like the looks of it. I have a Browning Buckmark I'm very pleased with. I hear the Beretta Neos is uber accurate but I don't like the position of the safety, difficult to acquire quickly.

Sukhoi_fan Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 there are better options for takedown .22s such as the Marlin 39A or 39M and the Browning Auto Takedown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton916 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I was just browsing and it looked tactical I'm into that style of gun , but right now just looking for suggestions . I'm into hitting what I aim at, that's why I shoot a bone stock Marlin 60SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The Ruger is by far the best choice in semi-automatic. The platform features a multitude of options from bone stock all the way up to custom rifles costing thousands, from component makers like Kidd. Bolt actions: Budget - Savage Middle - CZ Top - Anschutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtCathy Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I tend to like older .22's so I bought a ROSSI model 62. There's nothing like a pump with and exposed hammer. Love the long octogon barrel. S&W makes some semi-auto's that look like MP5's and they're a hoot to shoot. Also have a rare Browning pump action called a Trombone model (sold in Europe and Canada). Both the ROSSI and Browning are take down models. And of course I have a Thompson Center model R-55 Classic, semi-auto rifle, when it absolutey, positively has to be dead on the first shot out to 100 yards.

tucker301 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I was lucky enough to pick up this Savage-Anschutz a few months back. Built in 1974. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelliwerkes Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) The U.S. Henry Survival......only 16" long stowed, quickly assembled, I mount a red dot scope with a 3/8" dovetail-to-picatinny rail conversion (has a standard peep sight, fabricated a quick disconnect sling attachment, it floats, uses 8 round .22LR magazines, is very accurate and lightweight. The Remington Nylon 66 is also one my favorites. Edited May 28, 2012 by benelliwerkes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benelliwerkes Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Henry U.S. Survival All the goodies can fit in the small pack; all the rest in the butt stock. The Walther P22 in the pack shares the same ammo. Thanks Tucker......a lot of mouse clicking though.

benelliwerkes Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) The pack is also secured to the sling via MOLLE loops, so when the sling is deployed everything remains together; the sling works well with the gun assembled as well.

Guest cleefurd Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 10/22 To me it's the ultimate transformer. Owned this one for a very long time in very basic form. This past February decided to try dabbling in marksmanship as part of therapy for a wrist injury. Added a decent barrel, cheap Vintage rear sight and modern front sight. Good trigger etc. Took it to an Applleseed shoot and shot a perfect 250. As far as the event coordinators are aware, that has never been done before. The 10/22 can be adapted to just about any role you want, or left as is. FYI this is all from 25 yards, off-hand, sitting, prone rapid, and prone slow. 4 stages, 10 rds each. The gun will shoot MUCH better sandbagged. I've seen folks with scopes and bone stock 10/22's that shoot nearly as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
