22 LR addiction

[Hulberr]

Anyone else find it difficult to leave a sweet looking Rimfire at the gun shop? There’s one 17HMR, two 22 magnums and the rest are 22LR. 22LR is by far my favorite cartridge.

That's just a start. I don't have a complete family portrait and not even sure I could get them all in one pic. Im well above 50 .22 and 17hmr rifle and handguns. Cheap to shoot and always a blast

Marlin 39A , CZ 452s , Browning SA-22 and 10/22s are among my favorite 22s. Had a Sako P94S Varmint that I wish I had back.

I like pretty much all 22’s, but I have a soft spot for the Marlins.

I love a good 22. I have a few...enough that I was starting to think that maybe I have a problem. But now I know I don't...at least not compared to the OP, lol . I'm a Marlin and Ruger fan myself...particularly the older ones.

I only have a couple... A 77/22 for most stuff, and an AR-7 for the go bag when things go bad.

Love a fun day of .22 plinking!!
Nice collection!

I have two rifles, a Weatherby XXII and a Ruger 10/22. I don't need both but it's nice to have when two of us wants to shoot.

And I have a Ruger MKII and S&W 617.

So I'm good on .22's.

That's a sweet collection!

Due to the current prices on ammo my 22's have become my most used guns recently. I used to neglect them but found a new appreciation for them. It's nice to be able to shoot a bunch without thinking about the hurting it's putting on my wallet.

My Henry lever action is my favorite, paired with a Hi-Viz fiber optic front sight it's an absolute treat. New shooters love it.

And I've bought two 22lr handguns since the current shortage, a Heritage Rough Rider 6.5" and a Taurus TX22. Both are well-liked and serve their place. The Rough Rider is ridiculously fun to shoot and even to disassemble and clean. The TX22 serves well as sort of an analog for training my full-size pistols. It even fits in some of my CZ P-10c holsters so I can practice draws and dry practice with it at home and just keep my P-10c loaded. Decent trigger on the TX22 too.

In short my addiction is pretty new and definetely not going away anytime soon

Awesome! Is that an old Stevens "crackshot" with an oct. bbl on the right?

Anyone in here have any post war era 22 pistols? High standards, woodsman's, etc?

Man...I thought I needed to downsize my collection. After looking at this picture I realize I need to step it up.

I have a soft spot for old Mossberg .22's myself, but really almost any old .22's are okay with me.

Here are my Mossbergs...

I’ve got a super nice Remington 541x that I will be listing for sale. It will come with one magazine and the CMP hard case if anyone is looking for one of these. It’s had 24 rounds through it since taken out of the foil.

No sir, it's a Hopkins and Allen No. 922 22LR. The rifling is all but gone but it can still hit a pop can at 30 or so feet.

My go to 22 rifle is my Marlin 25, I've had it for close to 30 years. I only have one 22 pistol it's a Ruger SR22, the grandkids love shooting that one. My sister bought a TX22 just a few weeks ago, it shoots very well. I think I see one of those in my not so distant future.

My very first rifle as a kid was a 44 U.S.. (not the one I have now, sadly) I used one to get my rifle and shotgun merit badge in Boy Scouts many moons ago and fell in love with it, so I looked for one shortly afterward. Only gave $50 for that one!

Any of you 22LR fanatics know of a gunsmith that does work on Ruger wood stocks?

The screw at the end of the barrel on my Mannlicher Ruger 10/22 just turns and turns. I need to remove it for disassembly / cleaning but at least one Indianapolis-area smith won't do wood work.

If the MK XXII ever needs to find a good home, I know someone who would give it lots n lots of love. I used to have one. I even found a like new original Weatherby rimfire scope for it. Sweetest shooting rifle I ever owned. One ragged hole at 50 yds all day long. I've been kicking myself every since for letting it go.
