Uh-Oh.........I got that fever again......this time for a “pump action .22”

[BMWRich]

I’ve been *Jonesin’* for a .22 pump action for sometime now, and with a lot of the Covid restrictions removed,
gun shows are starting to make a come back.
This mornings “O’dark thirty” departure lead me to the Woodstock IL gun show for a “look/see”.
Eh??? not really much to report or see......
So......as I started to head back home, my next intention was to hit as many guns stores I could, seeing what’s out there new or used.
Last gun store on my route just so happen to have 3 new .22 pump Henry’s.
1 .22 mag pump and 2 .22LR pump.
I grabbed one of the .22LR rifles which also shoots *shorts n longs”.
‘Cuz of Illinois silly Laws, I won’t be able to take possession till Wednesday.
Looking forward to shooting outside when the weather warms some.

I think henrys are better looking than the ROSSI pump I bought.It was what I was looking for, a less expensive short barreled 22 that I could creep thru the woods with and not worry about it getting banged up going thru hvy brush/brambles , it was synthetic stock, because at the time shelfs/racks were empty and dont think rossi made wood stocks for the rifle.Henrys do seem to have a better fit/finish to them,and made in america.I ended up selling to a friend that wanted a low cost shed rifle he could keep in shed.I got lucky and bought a henry lever action 22. classic.

I feel like I could never have enough 22 rifles in my collection. I'm gonna add one of those to my list.

Does the Henry pump slam fire like my Rossi and the Win 62A do? Not a great technique for sharpshooting but it’s sure fun when you’re plumb with ammo.

Actually tried to hunt down an *older* model wooden stock Rossi.
(Located one in Wisconsin but was way too pricey)
I also didnt care much for the newer wooden or synthetic models.
Yeah I'm a Henry Fan, I too have a lever,... GoldenBoy model

I can't partake in the classifieds yet, due to my "Newness" on this site. :'(

I have a Winchester model 61 pump with a Weaver 4X scope handed down from my Step father so not for sale. Sweet gun and very accurate, fun to shoot. Jim.

I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard everytime I look at it.
Beautiful gun, but too rich for my blood.

It will come soon enough. Or pony up the $$$ and become a site supporter. There are very good people here.

I get into the old Remington, Winchester, Mossberg and even 'Hardware guns' in the pumps. The last patent Mr Savage made before selling was a pump .22

Woodstock, IL, you say?

What a neat little town. Used to have in-laws that lived across the road from Emricson Park.

Such a gorgeous area. Absolutely stunningly gorgeous, IMO. Good ol' prairie land.

A) too bad the winters suck and B) too bad that it's in damned Illinois.

I have a Winchester 61 and Rem Model 24 22 short I'm thinking about releasing, haven't decided yet. Picked up a Marlin 39A mountie a while back and need to make a little room. The Marlin will do anything the others will do and I'm partial to lever guns.

I got an email from rural king within the last week or so about a taurus or rossi pump. They had wood and plastic stocks, and, while I'm almost always partial to wood, the plastic stocks didn't look half bad.

Yep, thanks, I did too.
The few I found locally were the *black resin models* which I felt looked horrible n cheap.
Visited RK in Plano last weekend and they were out of that model/gun in wood.
Purchasing on line would have had me make several trips to buy n pickup because of Illinois' stupid 3 day wait Law.
47 mile one way trip for me *buy* fill out paper work, drive home then drive there 3 days later again, to pickup and of course drive back home.
Lotta driving just to buy a gun.

I'm a big Henry fan and I actually did not know they made a pump action .22. What a cool little gun.

Sadly I am a little too young and from a little too liberal of a family to remember the days where every kid was running around the woods with a hardware store pump .22.

Before my time, too. We mostly had model 60s or 10/22s.
