What is that beautiful lever rifle of fireball2`s

That's a Marlin, I'm sure.

Wow , there have some real beauties posted . Impressive. Walnut and blued are my pick too, but I got a Remington Nylon 66 for Christmas in 1973 , It came with a round Remington tin of 650 rounds of long rifle. They were long gone by next Christmas . It was/ is very accurate. Someday I’ll have my Dads Stevens Favorite that he got in 1942.

I’ve have a few but not enough yet
Winchester 62
Winchester 9422
Winchester 9422m (2)
Savage 24
CZ 452
TC Contender carbine
TC G2 10”
Marlin 39 Century Ltd
Model C Olympic
Rossi carbine
Ruger Bisley
Kinda partial to Winchesters but Contender carbine is the most accurate on the list

CZ 452 American
CZ 455 Scout
Ruger 10/22 DSP
Marlin 60
Remington M24 (short-only)
Marlin 17V (.17HMR)
Stevens 86D, a tube-fed boltgun that belonged to my father, it works when it wants to, which isn't often,

and a couple Ruger Americans, with awful plastic furniture, in .22LR and .22WMR. and some plastic pistols, two SR-22s and an S&W M&P Compact.

I have a lot of both types, wood and steel, and plastic monstrosities, too. They all work well enough, except that old Marlin 60, and Dad's old Stevens. both of those SHOOT well, but don't work so well.

Dang Butch, I still start drooling every time I think about that 40X. I wish you would hurry and get it done and shipped this way.

You sir have a great collection.


Great thread.

My own collection includes a Cooper JSR, a 94/22 XTR Classic, a CZ 452, Rem 504, CZ99 and a few others some of which are project guns that are still in need of projection. There are also a few handguns lying around but the only one actually wood and metal is the Ruger Single six.

Dave, you and fryepowrX have some nice rifles!

Really enjoying looking at every ones quality 22 rimfires ,thanks for posting them . Magnum Bob

I have an outrageous small collection of walnut and steel rimfires, but the ones I foolishly let go are even more outrageous. The ones I am sick about losing are a minty Mauser 350ES, a pre-A slow lock 52, also minty, which I still have in my files less than an inch 100 yard groups, a brand new Remington 34 target that I never got around to firing, a high condition grooved 61, a one holer Anschutz 54 Sporter, a wonderful Lefever restored 121 Remington, a Deluxe Savage 29, and a Griffin and Howe 52 sporter that I foolishly did not buy at a ridiculously low price a few years ago. It was probably the best .22 rifle in the country at the time I did not buy it. I can't believe how we serious rifle collectors give the .22 such a low level of attention today. I will change my attitude about these guns in future collecting decisions.

I do, 1960 vintage Remington Model 552, and 1954 vintage Remington Model 513T,
Both are great rifles. The 552 is amazingly accurate for an autloader, and the 513 is a tack driver., Routinely places all shots in a single ragged hole at 50 yards, using the original Redfield peep sights.

I also have a Ruger 10-22 takedown model stainless with synthetic stock. Got it and a bunch of accessories as a gift. Have never fired it.

Don't think I own a rimfire in synthetic.. all wood and metal. Mostly from the 20's thru 40's.

Savage 19 in 22 Hornet and 23AA in 22LR here.



Savage 29



Savage 19 in 22LR

How's about a Winchester Model 61 & 63? Does that qualify?

only if you have a 62-A between them......

Couple more, my Remington 552 and 580

One thing about this thread, there are some dam fine looking guns posted here, all of them look great.....good job everyone

I don't have a postable pic for it yet, but I also have my sister's Winchester 190, here. It would eat just about any .22, 22lr, without jamming. Nice shooter.

Sometimes a little plastic is acceptable, made spring, 1950.
