Why would anybody have them, and not shoot them?

I have 3 Remington mod 37s, a 40X custom in work, and a beautiful original 1922 M2. They all shoot very well.

I do have a nice custom 10/22 that shoots very well, but haven't shot it in 10 yrs. or so.

I never saw the need to be proud of owning a gun. I have many that I like and enjoy shooting. The ones that don't make that list get sent down the road. To me they are all just tools.

I'm not prouder of one than the other but the ones I like to shoot the mostest are the customized 10-22 and the old model 75 Winchester.

I like the contrast of a really old bolt action that shoots just as good if not better than something modern.


I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Anschutz 54 repeater... don't care about the "proud" part, just the shooting.

I currently only have 2 rimfires - a S&W 617 10 shot w/ 6" BBL, nice gun and fun to shoot. and a Ruger 77/22 Boat Paddle - it works but is far from a good looking rifle in my book. I do have my eye on a Sako Finfire II in .17HMR - that one has it all (along with a big price tag).

Browning SA 22. A true classic and one of John Browning designs. Fit, finish and materials top notch. Very accurate compare to some others.

Nice gun. I have the Norinco ATD-22 knock-off and like it very much.

Tell ya what, though, I sure enjoy shooting my average-joe Henry .22 lever. That little thing always seems to end up going with me when I go shooting...range or field.

Proud to own and shoot:
Remington Model 41 single shot (from my dad, given to him by my grandpa and my first rifle)
Browning Model 52 (a repro, but the most accurate .22 I've ever shot and with the best trigger)
Belgium Browning Auto-22 (extremely accurate and a classic)
Marlin 39A, vintage 1983
Marlin 39A, vintage 1950 (bought it in mint condition last year with period correct Lyman aperture sight installed)
Remington 512 bolt action (1949 vintage in mint condition)
Remington 121 (in great shape, especially for a 1937 .22)
Ruger MK II Stainless Government, 6 7/8" barrel (accurate, reliable pistol with really nice factory trigger)

Not necessarily proud to own, but love to shoot:
S&W 15-22
Ruger 10-22 Target (extremely accurate)

Proud to own, wish would shoot:
Browning A-bolt .22 (stunningly beautiful stock, doesn't shoot worth a crap)
Mauser 410b bolt-action, circa 1939 (a war bring back from my great uncle, wrong bolt in it, so have to extract case with knife, still looking for bolt and magazine)

Don't own any but like to shoot anything put in front of me. Rimfire pistols and rifles are fun, fun, fun. Affordable platforms, affordable ammo. The joy of shooting.

A Remington 541-S that I bought new in the late '70s that I use for small game hunting and any of a half dozen 40x's/40-XB's.

Handguns? A Smith 41, a Smith 34 and a 5" SS Smith J-frame (63?).
