Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires anyone shoot wood and metal rimfires?

All of mine are wood and metal.. The only plastic rifle I have is an ar.. Will try for pictures later.... Cool thread..

I used to shoot wood and metal ones. But wood is so 20th century, so I upgraded to make it a classic, post Y2K.....

Of all the .22s I owe (over 100).....I can only think of 2 rifles and five pistols/revolvers that aren’t blued steel and wood.....and 260Rem I didn’t know they made that many stainless/synthetic .22s😄.

The stainless rifles are all Marlin, Ruger, and Savage products.

The stainless handguns are all Rossi, Ruger, S&W, and Taurus products.

Stag out-classes wood.....

Truth^^^^^^^

Don't look at me he started it.

i have kind of a squirrel rifle fetish, which for me is mostly various bolt action sporters, of various make. Some are relatively inexpensive commonly found rifles, up though assorted Kimbers, Coopers, Anschutz, etc....have some stainless/synthetic guns too, which i do hunt with, but blue & wood is my first preference.

No, I mean that looks "just like" mine😂😂 with the long mag tube, and brown squirrel stock ....except the old scope and the sling.

I do have a 3/4" scope like that in a drawer somewhere. Well not just like that. But it's a little black scope. Except it's got some brass ring on the objective end with a couple of slots I guess to adjust the parallax, I don't know.

Man I wish photobucket still worked for me (too cheap to “upgrade”)!! Nice rifles and pistols/revolvers men!

FyrepowerX you weren’t kidding when you told me you liked to squirrel hunt and nice .22s😄! That’s quite a collection - one question where did you get that squirrel “carrier” - I like it. I used a 1949 custom Mauser mm410b this year for squirrel along with - Mauser 201 Deluxe with DST and a percussion .32 cal. (It’s close to a .22 😄) Didn’t get out as much as I wanted to though and the extended season here in PA has been too cold!!

Does this count??




If not... maybe this one....



Or this...

Eh. I can't find a picture. But I have a remington 514 that's pretty old.

The only 22s I have are a Rem 581, a token 10-22 and a Very old but in excellent shape Win 75 for when I want to get serious about hitting what I'm aiming at.

That's all I have. I like to look at my guns. Hate plastic.

More alike than you think, I changed that original scope for a 30mm.

Thanks guys!. I knew I couldn't be the only retro 22 shooter out there. Just love looking at and shooting the quality of those guns. Field Grade, nice K-22 just picked one of those up made in 1948, Lots of good looking Single Six's and older bolt and lever guns too. Keep the pics coming. MB

Nice Mossberg 346K. My first .22 was the Montgomery Ward version (M842) of this. Mine has no checkering and a birch stock. I later added a receiver sight and the OEM hooded aperture front sight. I still have it and just shot a squirrel with it last week. First time I shot it in years. I also have a wood (walnut) and metal 10/22 and Cooper 57M. My .22 benchrest sporter is wood (laminated maple) and metal, as is required by the rules. (The stock has to be made of wood and the grain needs to be visible for proof.)

Eric..a few yeas ago my brother in law met a guy at a gunshow who was making paracord lanyards for duck calls, slings, etc.......the guy was also making a similar carrier for duck hunters, so he had the fellow make me up a squirrel carrier...very handy!

FyrepowrX,

Great looking fiddleback on the CZ 452.

What is the rifle just under the CZ pic, the one with the nice fiddleback and fluted stainless barrel. It is very nice looking also, although I bet it cost a few dollars more than the CZ.
