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

I know a lot of us learned to shoot with a single shot 22. How about sharing those great single shots we've used over the years and have a special place in our hearts. Both of these a special to me.

This is the one I learned on. I was just back in NY to help my dad get ready for an auction. He is moving to a senior apartment and is clearing out a lot of his stuff. I am the only one of the kids to have followed through with hunting and shooting as an adult so he gave me the old Winchester 67 he had as a young man and used to teach my brother and I to shoot. I carried it a ton of miles as a kid.



This one is a Winchester 1902 I bought 25+ years ago to throw behind the seat of the truck for a trapline gun, mostly to kill trapped coyotes. It had a broken and poorly repaired stock. I had a decent piece of maple and made a replacement stock. It's killed more coyotes than all my varmint guns combined.

That has a lot of cool factor going on

Old Stevens - dusted it off a couple weeks ago and put a hundred rounds through it. Had a blast, forgot just how accurate it was.......

I have a few 22RF rifles, but only 1 SS. This was built on a donated 40XB receiver. It has a Shilen trigger and barrel.




The Talley rings are on custom bases. The scope came from Mike Walker's estate. It is one of only 3 produced in the Remington Custom Shop. It has a 3 pos safety and was rust blued by Turnbull.

My guess, Butch, is that it shoots one hole groups.

I have a 1928 Page-Lewis Olympic Model C .22 Single Shot.

It's as simple as simple can get. I love it.

Very cool

Old remington that gets regular use. Had to reline the barrel, and the stock has been replaced since this photo. I bought it as a project, not expecting to shoot it much, but it is one of my most used guns.

Some pretty cool single shots so far, both old and new. Thanks guys.

A Steven's 1915 Favorite® with the correct 'no-drill' vintage Steven's scope newly mounted. I've had the gun for several years but just found the scope and the conditions of both closely match -






A couple of Steven's No. 10 single shot pistols -




Savage Model 1904 'Juniors', bottom two are the 'Special' version with checkered stocks and higher figured wood.

Gene,

Those are some fine single shots.

I have one like the top one but iirc mine is RAU

The middle one is my single shot

Harold Rau, a Florida retiree, decided he wanted to get into the gun making business and in 1969 started RAU ARMS CORP. in El Dorado, KS and introduced his RAU WILDCAT 500. There were TWO basic rifles offered, the Wildcat 600 was just a tiny bit fancier than the 500 and cost a few bucks more.

Rau sold out just a year later (Aug. 1970) to PRECISION INDUSTRIES (also known as Mountain Arms) of Ozark, MO. My rifle from this new company is stamped PRECISION INDUSTRIES ARMS DIV. OZ MO USA. They continued to mark their rifles as RAU up to 1975 at which time it became known as the Mountain Arms Wildcat, but stamped PRECISION as noted above. The company "fizzled out" in 1978 after producing 6,243 Wildcats.

Nice collection of shooters right there.

Built this for my best friend of 57yrs.
