Can try Armslist too, long odds but sometimes a gunstore or pawnshop will have something unique listed there.

I keep a close eye on the rimfire market. Coopers, Kimbers and a few Remington’s to be exact. I can honestly say I have only ever seen one in 6 years sell.
The k22 custom classic is super rare. I bet only a few hundred even exist.

Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

Wagner I've seen them come up from time to time but I'm kind of picky when it comes to walnut.

To shoot or not to shoot. If you bought it to shoot - shoot it if you didn’t - don’t......seriously it was made to be used otherwise I would buy pictures of beautiful rifles and hang them on the wall to ogle. That is a beautiful rifle and one I’d sure shoot and hunt with (granted probably wouldn’t take it squirrel hunting on a rainy day😉) PennDog

I've never believed that a rifle is too pretty to shoot, and this is no exception.
I am somewhat hesitant to lessen its collectors value however.

I am somewhat hesitant to lessen its collectors value however. If it were mine, I would scope it and shoot it. It would likely be passed on to my heirs so value isn't as important to me as enjoyment and knowing my kids will have something to remember me by. That is, until they sell it...

That’s a beauty, think I’d enjoy it myself but I don’t tend to have collectors pieces that are non shooters. Great find.

OSU, fisherman - I am leaning toward shooting it. Have a Leupold 3-9 Rimfire set aside, accumulating. 22LR ammo of various flavors.

I am somewhat hesitant to lessen its collectors value however. Given your tastes in firearms you are likely the kind of person who would take great care of things like this - so I really doubt that your usage would end up impacting its value in the end. PennDog

Beautiful without a doubt...
That being said, to me fine .22’s are to be enjoyed on the bench or carried in the woods. Not limited to show and tell
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...?

Nice! I had a K22 Custom Classic several years ago but that puts it to shame.
And uhh........ shoot it. Lots.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

I did. Beautiful rifle, but for me it ultimately comes down to fit and how a rifle hits for me. I preferred the heavier barrel contour on my 57M classic and how it balanced, and the Coopers stock shape is absolute perfection to me, so eventually the K22 Custom Classic went away. About 10 years back, a K22 Super America fell victim to that same 57M. One of my many shortcomings, occasionally I seem to think that I need just one really good of something and the rest is simply inventory so I sell it. An obvious character flaw.

If you don't want to shoot it and consider selling it please let me know. I'll take good care of it but I'd scope it and use it. Life is to short to hunt with an ugly gun. For some reason I'm not getting replies on threads so just in case and to cover my bases my e mail is rlanderson410  msn.com
