Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires What is Your Favorite 22 Rifle??

Hard to beat the Ruger 10/22

Probly the third Cooper from the top:



or the third Anschutz from the top:



I'm not really sure.

I like you're thinkin fw707, real nice set of rimfires!

Suhl 150 action, Benchmark barrel, Bruno/McMillan Edge stock, custom painted with House of Kolor paint, 2oz factory trigger, Hoehn tuner, Weaver T36 scope





Every now and then I get lucky and shoot a few of these.

Nylon 66, of course. Is there another?

I see there's some 581s fans here.
Mine has been re-stocked with a 541T stock. It had a miserably hard trigger which worked fine with a new spring and some polishing. I also had to tinker with the barrel channel a lot to get it to shoot well.

Mine is my 67 Boys Rifle - Because it has sentimental value.

It was 1985, I was 11 and had sold nightcrawlers during the summer to buy a .22. I went with my Grandpa to an auction that had a .22 listed. I had $52 dollars in my pocket and just had to have that rifle. It felt perfect in my hands and was the prettiest piece of metal and wood I had ever seen. I stood by the hayrack the entire auction waiting for the crowd to join me. Soon the auctioneer was lift the .22 over his head and the bidding started. I never had a chance to raise my hand. It went from 40, 45 ,50, 55, 60, 65, SOLD so fast. I was looking down at the ground with water in my eyes when I heard a man say "here's your rifle son". I looked up and the auctioneer was handing me that .22 rifle. My Grandpa had been bidding behind me. I held the rifle, told my Grandpa thanks, and I ran home with my feet never hitting the ground. When I think of my Grandpa that look and smile he gave me when I told him thanks is the one I remember.

My Marlin 39 or the CZ 452 American or the CZ 452 Trainer with a Williams peep. They all shoot o so good and I have spent many a hour plinking with them. Cant choose between them.

If not my 77/22 VMBZ (22WMR), then its one of these two:

Right now, I'm crazy fond of my CZ with nice compact scope, and custom stock.
Outstanding groups with RWS subsonic, all shots go well inside the crosshairs- the intersection of those dam hairs is over half an inch at 50 yards. I never put a really big scope to see what it would do, but its dam handy walking around the woods.

edit: dang, they're too big for dailup, but heres the link

You got that right. The only product that I ever bought where the product lived up to the advertising hype. I've been testing mine since 1966 and it has never failed to cycle and I've been rough (on purpose) on it. I left it leaning against a tree in my front yard all winter one time and I regulary used the barrel to reach out an pull dead bullfrogs to me when I worked on a fish farm. I left it in an open top jeep for a solid year while working on that fish farm and shot frogs and snakes every day while minnow feed and dust would blow around while feeding. I never cleaned it and it never failed. I would still trust it before any other gun that I have. miles

This is todays fav, Remington 512-X in mint condition with a period correct Weaver fixed 4. Just refinished the stock, gun is real accurate and has some of the nicest wood I have ever seen on a factory Remington 22........

Wow....there are some REALLY nice .22 that you guys have shown!

These are probably my two favorites (today )

Nice CZ, who did the stock?

I actually did the stock work on that one....do it as a hobby and this was the first one that I ever completed for myself (can't find the time to get done what I should be doing let alone something for myself!).

By the way that is one beautiful piece of wood on your 512-X!

i'm surprised nobody has put a savage markII up on here. i have 2 of these that are almost the same. one has had the barrel set back and a match chamber put in it. the other is stock with a trigger job, recut crown and glass and piller bedded. they shoo very very well. i have a tuff time picking just one myself so i will post all 3.

this was my match rifle from last year. it is a suhl 150. it is factory barreled with a tuner. the trigger is 2oz's. it has a piller in the front bolt hole and is glass bedded.

this is this years match rifle. it is a hall action with a lilja barrel. it has a fudd tuner,jewel triger(2oz's), weaver t36 scope, hall rings and a sweet walnut stock. it shoots very very very very well.

Me too, mine is just like Andre's so I borrowed his picture, except I took off the white line spacer.

PennDog, the 40X is a jewel!!
Any more pictures?
