Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Which rimfires are you proud to own? Like to shoot?

I like em all. Especially enjoy shooting two, a 94/22 Classic just because lever actions are so much fun and a Rem.504 for the simple fact that it took so much work to get it shooting as good as it does. It's not near the most accurate that I own but it will very often put 5 under 1/2" at 50 yards. The stock is scratched and marred from frustration and anger that it wouldn't shoot. It's been bedded at least a half dozen times. Different ways trying to make it shoot decently. It is butt ugly and I have a prettier new stock setting here waiting on it but I'm scared that when I change it the accuracy problems will start all over.

The only two I would say that I'm proud to own are the 504 for the same reasons stated above and a Ruger Single-Six. The Ruger just because so many people comment about how good it looks after I refinished it.

The before pics after years of hard use. As you can see the finish was coming off the grip frame. The hammer had some rust and the blueing on the steel was wearing thin in spots.



After I applied some Norrells.



I'm happy with it.

Of the bunch of .22LR rimfires in the gun safe, this one spends the least time in it. Winchester M69 made between 1935-1938. Came to me well used more than a decade ago, cock on closing bolt slickery by that use. Accuracy is only limited by my eyes lining up the iron sights with the target. However, it's most remarkable feature is; it is a WABAC machine when taken into the woods.

This 1934 vintage Remington M34P.

Don't know about proud, but happy to own and shoot a 1971 Browning Challenger pistol. Also love a 1948 Browning slide action rifle that Dad willed to me. Most recently, though, my favorite is a CZ 453 American. Pretty little rifle that shoots tiny little groups. Of course, I have the obligatory Roger 10-22. Tough as nails, accurate, and fun. It is my wife's favorite.

That pretty well expresses my thoughts. I don't identify with "stuff", and make it a point never to wear logo clothing (free advertising).

I enjoy shooting my .22s, especially my customized Winchester/Miroku 1885 low wall. Just shot this group yesterday. 16X Unertl scope, Eley Team ammo. 1.4" (inches, not MOA) at 200 yards.

Most glad to own, savage model 24 .22LR/20GA. Most fun to shoot remington 597.

My two favorites to shoot are my 39A and CZ.. The CZ is the most accurate rifle I own.. My 513T can match it, but the CZ is much easier to handle in the field..

A Savage MKII rifle and a S&W 48-4 with both cylinders are my favorites.
The others I have are fun but these two will stay with me for a while yet.

I tend to like the odd ones
My Browning Buckmark Carbon is a favorite but they are all fun

Proud to own: Remington 40X Sporter Repeater
Like to shoot; Kimber K22 Hunter

Have a cz 453 (mannlicher), pretty wood, that's a neat rifle though I don't shoot it so well due to eyesight. Needing to build up the f. sight so can try a peep on it.

But favorite to shoot? Marlin 1892 is a grinner.

Winchester 62A, Ruger 10/22.

I've got a Winchester Model 250 lever action that I'm proud to own; it was the first firearm I owned, a gift from my Dad.

Brno model 1 for all catagories

This Lh Kimber is dear to me, and is more accurate than I am.





A large part of the pride in ownership comes from having whittled the stock myself.

All of 'em. . .

Hell, I'm just proud to own enough .22 ammo.

PTO: Colt Woodsman/Stagecoach Carbine, Remington 37/40, Savage 1919NRA/19-33, S&W 17/41/46, Winchester 52/75.

LTS: Marlin 882/917/980/981/982, Remington 10C/66/512/541/5880/581/582/591/592/597, Rossi 59/515/518, Ruger 10/22, S&W 18/622/2206, Savage 24/63M/65M/93/93R17/Mark2, Winchester 190/270/275/290.

Worst rimfire ever owned was a Nobel pump action, not sure what model, that I owned a bit over 30 years ago. I pawned it on my way out of Manhattan, KS, in early October, 1984, and never went back to get it. One of the few times that I got the better end of a deal with a pawn broker.

Winchester M61 and M63 are a pleasure...

That is one beautiful rifle.
