Those .22 smoothbores are the schizzle. Shot my first clays at Scout camp with one back in '62 and they work well on carpenter bees also, circa '94-95. Ran out of bees quick.
Yeah, I got all the loony scopes too. Had a .297-250 for a spell.
And I've been shooting black powder in my .22 GTC.
Thinking it's about time to invent a .22 short centerfire.
Now there's a thought. Like a 25 auto, or a 32 ACP necked down?
I would bet that a lot of fun could be had with a little break action chambered for a 22-327 magnum loaded with a 40 gr BT over a couple grains of Titegroup.
2d from left is my version of a .22 CB Cap prototype. Kinda in the spirit of that Colibri thing. Need to lengthen the case a bit for a real short version with CF priming. Or shorten the LR version I've been fiddlin' with.
If it ain't broke it needs fixin'.
I am..........disturbed.
Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass. -Twain
I respectfully suggest that 10 Sakos in one safe might result in miscommunication due to language barriers. Having the Tower of Bable in your safe is not a good idea.

It 'appears' you may (?) be in the padded room by yourself, being served Xanax ?

If that left them speechless.............. wonder what they would do if they were to see the 10-22 Long Rifle CENTER-FIRE actually function...... like we did!!!!
Do we need to be fitted for our white suits??

For those of you who just tuned in, here is the latest, unofficial 24 hr poll result.
1. Must still own and use at least three carbureted 22 rimfires. No FI autos. 2. Must still own and use at least two - four on the bore - stick rifles, made before 1950. 3. Must still own and use a rifle or shotgun named after a dead Englishman. e.g. James Purdy 4. Must be unfamiliar with the term "rimless cartridge". 5. Must still own and use three or more iron sighted rifles...and know how to sight them in. One must feature an express sight. The others must have older Wilkes or Parker sights. 6. Must own a Remington rifle with an EtronX trigger.
Some of you may remember Lucian Cary (1886-1971) who wrote the J. M Pyne stories, fictionalized accounts of Harry Pope. Mr. Cary wrote:
"I have been called a gun crank. That is an exaggeration. I would say merely that I am more interested in fine shooting rifles than the average man. I do not go in for collecting guns. I never buy a gun unless I really need it. As a matter of fact, I really only need about a dozen, or possibly fourteen, more guns than I have now."

1. Whachu mean by "carbureted"? 2. 1950 is kinda recent production Steve.✔️ 3. Like Webley & Scott? Rigby? ✔️ 4. I don't get it. They all have rims. The good ones are more obvious. 5. ✔️ Think vernier sights are acceptable. 6. Hey, my fingers can calculate the weight of a feather. Don't need no fancy electric triggers.

Wait, I get it. Not fuel injected, just normal stuff.
2 bolts, 2 single shots, 1 revolver. 10/22's are normally aspirated. ✔️
That's right.
I hated being in the deer woods, or worse, on a groundhog hunt, and having to stop to adjust the carbs on my drillings. 2 bbl carbs were the worst! An old friend of mine, now shooting trap at the range in the sky, would curse a blue streak trying to adjust his 4 bbl. I was too scared to shoulder it. I was content to stick with my Savage. It might have been single bbl, but it was a real thumper.
Real looneys own unique and varied firearms. Whether its a 1950s vintage Model 70, or an EtronX aspirated Rem...Rem...Remington (I threw up a little in my mouth typing that), it's all good.
Not all ammunition uses a case. Or rims. Don't forget that terrific idea someone came up with years ago - caseless ammunition. Looneys own stuff like that.
