LONG RIFLE

[KB Fab]

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]

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.

What do you think about the Ruger TD 10/22 ?

[Sukhoi_fan]

Why are you wanting a takedown?

[heckler&kochp2000]

I was just browsing and it looked tactical I'm into that style of gun , but right now just looking for suggestions .

[Sukhoi_fan]

there are better options for takedown .22s such as the Marlin 39A or 39M and the Browning Auto Takedown.

I'm into hitting what I aim at, that's why I shoot a bone stock Marlin 60SS.

[tucker301]

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

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.

[heckler&kochp2000]

I am appreciating all the replies keep them coming, i like to know others opinions and like's Thanks

I was lucky enough to pick up this Savage-Anschutz a few months back.

Built in 1974.

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.

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.

Only 2 photos per post !!!!!! used to be five were allowed.

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.

And for the bigger squirrels this setup might work well.

Isn't that akin to putting lipstick on a pig?

Yes, it is......just Monday morning humor.

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.
