Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Pump 22’s

I think you’ll enjoy it!
16 or 20 inch barrel?
Blued or stainless?
Exposed Hammer?

I picked up a late '70's Rossi for my son, he LOVES it!! They're just SO fun. The Taurus versions were even better.

My Mom bought my Dad a 22 Browning pump for his birthday in 1948. A lot of our family members learned to shoot on that rifle. I have heard them called "Trombones". Ours has been shot so much that the end of the loading tube wore out, so Dad crimped an empty 22 casing in the end of the tube. It will still pick an empty shell case off a twig at 50 feet.

The rifle was willed to me as the oldest child and it was to continue to the oldest child in each successive generation. My oldest daughter married a fine man from Ireland and firearms restrictions there are even more retarded than Canada, so my younger daughter will keep it in the family. Neat little rifle. I killed hundreds of grouse with it from 9 years old up.

When I shoot a raccoon, I write it down. The Rem 572 and the Win 61 are two pump 22s I really like

Shot the Rossi 5 x tonight, it functioned. Tomorrow I will play some more....

The 75 sporter and colt lightning don’t seem to be performing well... you better send em to me!

Oh man, I'd love to have a Colt Lightning.

Shot some gophers today, it does what it’s supposed to do. Ugly SOB though.

I have an 1890 22 short that's still fairly accurate and two Remington 572's. One was my first gun purchase the other was my little brother's first gun as well. They still get the job done in the squirrel woods. I like the tube magazine in the pumps much better than a 5 round clip in a bolt gun.

have two ,22 pumps a Remington 572 and a Winchester 62, both net guns

I got to use the the Rossi 22 pump early this morning (0100) on a coon in the hen house. I love those fiber optic sights.

Henrys are well built but heavy.

Hi. Late to this party, but wanted to recommend a fantastic, but uncommon, pump 22. The Browning Trombone is one of the finest rifles of any caliber I’ve ever owned/handled/shot. John Moses Browning hit yet another home run with this little beauty. I found mine years ago when I could scarce afford an extravagant purchase (in college and working part time), but the price was right ($299) even if the rifle’s condition wasn’t. It had obviously been stored in damp conditions, as the steel buttplate is rusty and there is considerable checking where the stock meets it. Also freckling and larger spots of rust are present on the receiver and barrel. Overall not horrible, but far from pristine.

Mechanically it is perfect. Someone drilled and tapped for a side-mount Lyman peep sight which hurts the value yet again, but really improves the sight picture and accuracy. This thing is built like the proverbial “brick house”; really feels like a full size gun but obviously with a petite stature.

If you come across one, don’t hesitate to consider it. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. 👍
