I love them too, and I have probably a good dozen different rimfire rifles and I'm always on the lookout for the next one.

I've started wondering where it ends. IF it ends. Honestly, the front of my brain knows that I'm covered and the back of my brain just laughs and keeps looking for the next one.

Speaking for myself, I know that part of it is knowing that every individual rifle is a bit unique and a mystery to be solved by trying different ammo, etc.
But still - what is it about a rimfire that makes a lot of us obsess and just keep buying them?

Not that I mind...... lol


I currently have 98 rimfire rifles, handguns, and Savage 24s.

I'm watching another one on GB, so breaking the 100 count barrier might not be so far off.


Sadly, the custom Remington 580 in 17HM2 sold for about twice what I was willing to pay, so I'm still at 98 and holding.

17HM2 x 08
17HMR x 08
5mm RM x 02
22 rifles x 37
22 handguns x 17
22 Savage 24s x 02
22 MAG rifles x 15
22 MAG handguns x 06
22 MAG Savage 24s x 03
Geez... I bet you order ammo by the, what, pallet? laugh laugh
