Steyr Zephyr
Most .22 shooters don't know what this is.
I'm not even a rimfire shooter and I know what this is. Nothing groundbreaking here.

How about the Kimber 82, a fine and accurate .22. Good trigger and it feels like a rifle.

I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

I forgot about my Mausers . The sporter that was made to compete with the Win 52 was the Mauser Mm410b. The bolt lift so high scope has to be very high also. But shoots good with irons.
Walther long BBL Sport Modells interesting also.

Dirtfarmer mentioned the Kahles rimfire scopes. I have a couple 2X7 , funny thing not marked rimfire , but 50YD parallax. One could take a Kahles 2x7 AH and adjust the parallax to his likeing. These scopes , in my mind, are the best rimfire scopes out there..
I replaced a 2x7 leupy on a Zephyr and it improved accuracy beyond belief. The clarity and quality of the glass is superb. I don't often use that word.

Hit nrun,
Very nice '73.
Many, many years ago I was at the GS in Vegas at the long gone Riviera. Met this tall dude in a top hat and he was holding a '73 in .22 Long that he had redone for a customer . Doug was owed $ 1700.00 for it and that is what he was selling for.
It was a 3 day show and I shot my wad every day..............

Mine's not marked rimfire either. I was told it was a rimfire scope when I bought it years ago. And as you note, it has the 50 yd. rimfire parallax setting. But parallax can be adjusted. And, I don't think you've over sold it. It is everything you say it is. DF

Nice rifles guys. My Cooper shoots most ammo very well, isn't picky. High end target stuff may edge hunting ammo, but its ability to handle a wide variety of ammo is just another reason why I like this Cooper. DF

Guess on my part, but one that does this is ain't a bad place to start.

Dont laugh but of all the 22s I own, my Winchester 320 would probably be the last to go. Silly accurate and feels like a light well balanced deer rifle. I believe these were the predecessors to the kimbers and even use the same mags.
LGS had a 310 on the used rack, didn't bite because of it being a single shot. Thought better of it and went back a week later and it was gone. But they had the 320 on the rack then. Snatched it up.

Kimber of Oregon, Custom Classic and Super Grade, are pretty collectible.

Cisco have a Mm410b that was sporterized by Johann Springer in 1949 - classy rifle and has period scope also installed by Springer…….was given to me by a good friend in his will. Bolt handle altered but not really necessary with the scope that was used (Hensolt with straight tube that is sub 1”). By far and away my “most desireravle” .22👍 PennDog
