How many 22LR Rifles and Pistols do you have?
&
Which one do you like the most?



For me including conversion kits:
5 rifles
5 pistols

For rifles
AR-15 conversion kit for blasting
Encore single shot for precision work

For pistols
Glock 21 conversion for blasting and playing suppressed.
Ruger MKII slabside for precision work

3 Pistols, 2 revolvers, 5 rifles.

I'd have to say my Ruger 22/45 for reliability and accuracy. I'm hard pressed to pick a rifle it's either a Henry lever or Biakal bolt action.

Several of each.

Of my rifles, overall favorite is Anschutz 54 Sporter. If I could only have one rimfire rifle this would be it.

In pistols, I would say a Smith and Wesson model 41. Again if I could have only one, I would rather have this than any two others I know. I would mention another S&W a friend of mine owns. It is one of the excellent older rimfire revolvers. Sorry the model number escapes me at the moment. It is a sweet shooting pistol with a delicious trigger to die for. Still I would go with the 41, but I generally prefer semi-autos to revolvers.

I've trimmed mine down to 2 rifles and a pistol.

1. An old AMT Lightning which was a clone of the 10/22 except it was the first one made in Stainless instead of Aluminum.
2. A Marlin 880SS which is the most accurate 22Rimfire I've ever owned.
3. A Bull barrel Ruger Mark I which really makes you humble. Easy to work on and easy to clean.

Had a bunch of others but moved them out for various reasons. Some just to help a youngster, some way too nice to get sweat on or take in the rain, and some just weren't too accurate.

Rifle: 10/22 "AUG", semi-inleted and roughed out stock courtesy of Ironwood Designs. Volq parts on the inside.



Pistols: Ruger 22-45 or original Whitney Wolverine or Contender 16". Be hard to choose which. Depends on what the target is. Have to go with the 16" Contender barrel for Zebra headshots.


I've got 5 Ruger pistols, 2 Ruger 10/22 rifles, some Contender barrels, and
WOLVERINES!!!!!!!(old and new).

My all-time favorite 22 rifle is the Marlin 39. I also have a Mauser 410-B and a Savage 3-D which is my canoe/truck gun. Favorite 22 handgun is the S&W K-frame "Masterpiece".

I've had a bunch but whittled 'em down to three. The last to go was my biggest mistake ever, a Marlin 39 with a 4X scope that would humble any Super Match-Grade 22 ever made with pretty much whatever ammo you decided to put in it on any given day; without a doubt the most accurate rifle I've ever owned....I've done stupider things but can't seem to remember any right off hand.....

2 Rifles, an Anschutz 1516 Left-Hand with a Weaver 2.5-10x50 and it'll get with the program, too. The other is a Savage 93 L/H Bull Barrel 17 HMR.

Pistol's a Ruger MKII Bull Barrel with a replacement trigger that just makes a a World of Difference when compared to the original POS and Houge Left-Hand grips.

I won't be getting rid of either of them any time soon.

My all time favorite 22LR rifle is the rifle I shot my first rabbit with and is still getting the job done today 50 years later. A Winchester Model 63 Auto Loader. Taurus makes a faithful replica. Like hugging my old girl friend. . .It knows just what to do!

My Ruger pistols are great. I wish I could make myself part with the cash for a S&W Model 41. I lust for one!

rifle Sako Finnfire

pistol Ruger mk2

Rifle: Ruger 10/22
Pistol: Ruger Bisley Single Six

I have 2 pistols and 7 rifles. My favorite is the Ruger slabside pistol,followed by the 10-22 Target.

I've got 8 rifles and one pistol. Favorite rifle? Ugh--Remington 521-T followed by the Rem 513-T followed by the CZ 452 Varmint. Pistol? Well, since I only have one (Ruger slabside) and I just bought it a month ago because I couldn't pass up a steal, I don't really have a favorite. In fact, the Ruger is going up for sale as soon as I get back home this weekend and get it posted on a few sites. Selling it to finance another rifle, of course.

Current collection consists of the following .22's
Rifles:
Ruger 77/22
Ruger 10/22
Marlin Model 60
Handguns:
S&W Model 41
S&W Model 17-8
Ruger Mark II
All of these are great guns and have survived my ever-revolving tastes for a number of years now. At last count I have owned somewhere in the nieghborhood of 30 different .22's

I own a bunch but it would have to be my Remington M34,



And my S&W M63,

I have 5 22lrs and a magnum. I like my Win.62A the best. It was my grandfathers. It was the first .22 I fired. He has been gone since Feb 1996. Everytime I pick up that rifle I get an awesome feeling. I have never missed anything I shot at. I shoot within resonable distances. It prefers a load now long gone. Remington short high velocity hollow points. When I find them I buy as many as I have money for. Occaisionally I'll shoot some longrifle thru it.

I only have four.
A Remington 541T
An original Stevens Favorite that was my dads.
HiStandard Supermatic Citation.
Smith & Wesson K22.

The Stevens could go but the rest are keepers.

S&W Model 41 pistol

10/xx rifle

my favorite rifle would have to be the henry lever action.
and for my favorite pistol it would be tne ruger single six.

Rifle- Marlin 1897 Texan
Pistol- Ruger Single Six

i have owned a bunch. the best are High Standard ML series or older, Anschutz Supermatch, S&W 17 ALLOY cylinder and a K22 made in 1949 and any COLT 22 revolver. KIMBER of Oregon arent bad either.

A very battered Remington 552 Fieldmaster that's been everywhere with me for years, it's my trapline dispatch rifle.

And a S&W K-17 that's my favorite handgun, also used for dispatching trapped animals and shooting bunnies for the skillet.

I have 3.
39 mountie My favorite.
Browning auto circa 1950 bought for me when I was 2. I can't count the rds. this has fired.
Kimber classic varmit.

I like my S&W M41:

I have 2 rifles and 2 auto pistols in 22lr, Favorites are Anschutz 1416 and Walther p22http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/rug-6/Slaveqtrfox.jpg

My favorite, and the most accurate, is a single shot, under lever BSA Martini with Parker Hale 7A front sight with changeable apertures; and a Parker Hale aperture rear sight with adjustable apertures. Even with my poor eyes this one out performs my other .22's with scopes mounted.

Handguns....The least accurate of the bunch, a Bernardelli Model 80. It just feels good....

6 pistols:
Favorite - Ruger Mark II target slab side 6 7/8

3 rifles:
Favorites - Plinking = ticked out 10/22
Accuracy = Izhmash Biathlon

Wow, nice looking 41 heavy barrel!

In pistols, I have a definite favorite: an 8" Dan Wesson. It has seen many miles along traplines and been on countless small game excursions. It is battered and abused and has precious little bluing remaining on the shroud, and the factory grips show many character marks.

Scoped, it easily keeps 3 shots in about 3/4th inch at 50 yards and has done so since the day I bought it (mid-to-late 80s).


As to rifles, I have a customized 10-22 with a heavy 18" barrel that sees tons of use, but I also like a 60s vintage Marlin Original 39A that is incredibly smooth and accurate. And a Rem 581 shoots very well no matter what I choose to feed it.

I don't have any individual photos of the rifles that I could locate, but here's the Marlin:


...and, if you look closely at the left side of the photo, you'll see the Remington in this 1984 print:

My best is a EARLY style Marlin model 60 for my rifle.

And a Ruger 22/45 heavy barrel.



Both are outstanding shooters.

Great old pictures Bobby, love those coon pelts thanks for posting them

My favorite 22LR would be:

Rifle = Winchester M-63
Pistol = Colt Woodsman Match Target

Don'ts got no pistoliver, but my favorite 22 Rifles are a Marlin Model 60 and a Stevens Model 87A.

I have a 94/22 my dad got me that is a joy to carry and very smooth. My hunting rifle is a Kimber 82 in lefty from Oregon. Nice gun great trigger and best of all lefty. For pistol I just got a S&W 41. Wow, I can believe how nice. When I go to the range it is always with me.

Only have one of each, trimmed down a few years ago. I did however keep the good ones..
BSA Martini model 12 with micrometer peep sites If the wind is down it will shoot MOA at 200yards off the bench, I know you don't believe it but it will.
High Standard Supermatic Citation 7" bull barrel more accurate than I can shoot a pistol.

My rimfire collection, all 22's includes,

In rifles:
Winchester 9422
Browning lever action
Chipmunk for my kids
Marlin semi auto - but my brother has had this one so long he can claim it under adverse possession laws.

Revolvers:
Ruger Single Six convertible to 22mag
Taurus eight or nine shot double action revolver

My favorites are the Ruger Single Six and the Winchester 9422, which is unscoped.

Good cheap shooting fun. Remarkably accurate.

Winchester 62A is the only 22 I have. Like to Get a Martini Cadet or similar single shot

A brno would be nice too

Three rifles, a stainless 77/22 is my favorite.
One S&W revolver, my favorite by default.

H@R 9 shot pistol and a Winchester 63 it being the hardest hitting 22 i have ever had.Good Luck

I have several .22 rifles but my favorites would be a Remington Nylon 66 or a CZ 452. I only have two .22 pistols by my favorite is, by far, a S$W 34 kit gun.
