I grew up with .22 long rifle on the farm...dad had an old Stevens bolt-action, single-shot .22lr and we shot just about everything from targets to squirrels, to rabbits, to racoons, to groundhogs, etc. with it.
Currently, I have a couple of Ruger 10/22's include a Charger and one with a custom build with a 24" Keystone barrel and MagPul Hunter X-22 polymer stock....which is a hoot to shoot over at dad's farm!

I share your affinity for the Marlin .22. That's a nice collection you have there! Is that a model 57 Levermatic there in the center? I have a 56...the box-mag version, one of the older ones with a steel receiver before they switched to aluminum. It's one fast levergun! I also have a Glenfield 70 very similar to the one on the far left, a couple of model 25s, and a 39a. Most of them were pretty neglected when I got them and needed a bit of work to get them running right, but all are awesome guns and far better shooters than their original price tags would suggest.
In the process of repairing a Mossberg 51M rifle. The stock was broken at the wrist, with missing sights and broken sear spring. Glued the stock together and made a new spring from music wire. Gave the action a good cleaning and put it back together. Currently in the process of installing new sights. Hope to test fire and sight it in this weekend.
I just received the same rifle from one of my Amish friends. It is what I call a 'chicken coup special'. I have to totally redo the poor thing but I bet I will get histoplasmosis just walking past the thing.
It has the rear peep but he is wanting to add the rear sight to the barrel also. I told him it may take me a while to find it, it is an unusual sight with windage adjustment.
It seems he wants the peep for squirrel and the open iron for beef and pork. If you come across a stock pile of them just let me know cuz I am in the market also...

Rear sight came off an old Montgomery Ward bolt action 22.
Front sight came off an old Armscor 22 rifle. Used JB Weld and a new 8x40 screw to install it.
All put together and laser bore sighted. Will take it out tomorrow to test fire and sight it in. Once I know it works, I will add some sling swivels. It will be going to a friend who does not own a 22 rifle.
My 25 was also my first Marlin, and has also killed it's share of nuisance animals. It shares the vermin control duties with my Single-Six and 63-5.
In my family, it's known as the "rug" gun. I bought it back when my wife and I were newly married and still in college. Being young students, we were broke. My wife saw a rug that she wanted to get for the apartment for $30, and I told her we didn't have the money. Then later that same week, I was at the LGS and saw that sweet little model 25 on the rack. Dealer offered to knock the price down to $90 OTD, and it came home with me. Wife was not impressed, but she got over it...eventually. I still have and use that gun...rug would have been worn out years ago!
Function checked and sighted in the Mossberg 51M today. Used ammo from four different companies. Zero malfunctions.
Conditions at Elwood CC were a tad bit brisk while sighting in the iron sights. Groups high at 25 yards. Should be spot on at 50-75 yards. My friend is going to use it to teach his two sons.

I am down to two at this point. Have owned several over the years and either sold or traded for one reason or another.
Anyway this is the only .22lr rifle that I own, and is my youngest daughters favorite gun to shoot.
I did write a review on this a few years ago.

Not your Grandpa's .22........................or maybe it is. Review of HK 416D
What a beautiful spring day we had this past Sunday. I was able to spend most of it at the range. While there I shot a few of my guns, and decided to take some pics and do a review of my HK 416 .22lr. I've owned this rifle since Jan of 2012, so I've had it a few years. I don't want to sound...
