Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Show us your single shot 22's

Wow!

Nice work!

Some day I'm gonna get proficient enough to post pictures here... I've also got my dad's model 67 that he purchased used in the late 1930's; it's one of the real early ones and to my knowledge its never lost any accuracy. Got about 5 22's but only two single shots. Besides the model 67 there's a Winchester model 121-D single shot, produced 1964-1967, that I picked up circa 1995. Some of those old single shot 22's are a lot more accurate than most folks realize. Playing with them is a real trip down memory lane for me. Sometimes even woodchuck hunt with a single shot 22 the way my dad & his buddies did back before WWII, (sometimes with the same mod. 67 he used back then to make it really special). Stalking, stealth, and a single 22 LR to the head will anchor a 'chuck out to at least 50 yds. Just think of how many guys got their start with a single shot 22 doing stuff like that.

Butch,
Pardon my ignorance. But, what is that gun you built for your friend?

Gave a daughter a Savage 1904. I like my my Remington #4, but it is going to become a 25-20. I learned on a Remington targetmaster. I've owned a bunch of various Savage and Stevens singles. Does a 22-410 count?

I love the S&W single shot

Do you shoot it?

Most assuredly.

No,I don't shoot the S&W; although I bet it would be accurate. I believe they competed with em during the early Olympics.

I'm waiting for someone to post a Colt Camp Perry.

It is an old, about 1900, Stevens Favorite take down model. It was my friends Grandfather's rifle. Thom gave it to me and I had it several years. I found a NOS barrel and Jim Wisner had the other little parts that I needed.
His expression when I gave it to him was worth a million dollars. His Grandson has it now along with his great great great Grandfather's Civil War Sword and his Great Grandfather's Masonic sword.He is a good kid that treasures these things.

geneb,

I had to login and thank you for posting that Stevens with a scope. That is a heck of a nice gun and quite an accomplishment to research and then find and finally mount that scope.

I do like it also. Very nice.

Wow Butch, you deserve an award for that. God will repay you for your kindness. I like that gun. Having seen it now I will set out to find one. Thanks for sharing.

I love those Favorites!

I had both sides minimally engraved on both sides by Roger Kehr.
One side has Opi-Reed.

I understand that Opi is German for grandfather and Reed id the grandson.

On the other side is a saying they have when the leave after a visit. Being musicians they say this when their visit is over.

I am surprised no one has posted a Kimber 82G

I live an hour from the CMP North store, and purchased several.

A couple with the same early Savage Model 3 single shot action -
- top is a version of the Steven's 53-B 'Buckhorn' made exclusively for Montgomery Wards with a special target type stock with sling swivels. It's drilled & tapped for target sights and a scope (for a Mossberg scope, which Montgomery Wards also sold versions of). 24" barrel.
- bottom is a Savage 3-B, the 3-ST which was the catalog designation for the 'Target' version that had a special sight set and factory sling swivels. Drilled & tapped for Weaver side mount scopes. 26" barrel.

Both came with Savage/Stevens hooded front sights (one ramp & one not) and folding windage adjustable rear barrel sights.


Some Savage Model 1905's -


The reaction of someone getting a Savage 1905, back in the day...

I too have to say Wow!

I bought a Winchester 1900 in 2000. For the kids originally. Now they have far out grown it and it is mine, all mine.
Just this last weekend I replaced the sights. The rear notch sight was way too bitty for my eyes.
I got a Marbles Bullseye barrel mounted peep. Then needed to replace the front sight because the original was too short.
I had a front post sight from a Remington 521T that I had replaced with a Lyman Globe sight. I thought that the Remington sight might be tall enough.
It might be, but I have only shot the rifle at 20' in the garage with CCI CB Longs. Results in the picture.




It was a nice Sunday afternoon.
Lou

Just have one single shot, pre war BSA Martini, very accurate, eventually going to add barrel blocks and put a 6x Lyman Junior Targetspot on it.
