Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Most desireable .22?

I'd like a Cooper, but will have to wait for the wife's demise.

A Colt Woodsman would be nice

I guess I've taken a different tact. My collection of desireables consists of many that I wanted as a kid, but could never afford.

Savage Anschutz 54 sporter, Annie 1720, Win. 52 sporter (Repro), Rem 541T sporter, 582, 581. Sako M78, P94S. The CZ 452's have filled in for Brnos. Semi's- BAR-22 , 10/22-10/22 Mag, HK-300, BRNO zKM 611. Marlin 39's, M1894M .22 mag...many Pistols, Revolvers. I love the .22/.22 mags. They provide the most diversion of any calibers for all shooters.

452 FS is my current fav, mainly because my son won state 4H with it in sporter class his final year. That or his 581 that he used for 8 years up to that point. As for lusting, I recall the Cooper anschutz in a full stock version. I'd take out a loan to get one of those.

Why yes, yes they are.....

Nice collection Huntsman, I've got a #3 and #4, too.

It's just fun reading this entire forum as 22's are just FUN!

I've gone through various Anschutz models, 1922 Spflds, M52's. I still use a 40x I had D'Arcy Echols stock with one of his edge stocks, and a real nice Mauser 340, and recently picked up a BSA International MKII I plan on putting on a diet

But I have just about as much fun with my daughters Marlin 39, my son's Win M90 or my Win 9422

A Cooper M57-M Jackson Squirrel Rifle is one of my dream Rimfires

I brought home two yesterday that have been at the top of my life long "grail" list (especially the bolt gun!).

Winchester 52B sporter and Winchester 61 in 22 mag.
Both high conidtion.

There aren't a lot of things that excite me as much as getting a new (to me) gun that's been on my list.

Still want another Marlin 39a, but not at the price they're bringing.

I've lost track of the number of .22 rifles I've owned, but the current ones I purchased and are still in residence are a pre-war Mauser sporter (a Model 420, if I recall correctly), a BSA Model 13 Martini action and a Walther Sportmodell with the Olympic style stock. I still have my dad's Remington Model 33, too, but that's one I'll hand down to my son and hopefully on to his offspring after I'm gone.

Jsg those are both beauties!

At one time I owned a Griffin & Howe custom Springfield 1922, foolishly let it go when I was offered twice what I paid for it.

Hard to say which is my favorite 22...because they all have a special place.

It would probably be a close tie between a Mauser, a Kimber, or the Zephyr.

Or the 52 or 40x

But the Vudoo is hard to ignore.

Pistols would be a Walther, 41, a Woodsman, or a Colt

I sold the most desirable ones:

Marlin 39 Mountie
Browning A-Bolt
Browningchester 52

Vudoo for me and by a goodly margin. Hint...............

i own many 22LR rifles and hand guns but its still hard to beat a Marlin 39 A !

Thank you, I’m still excited. Rounds were run through each tonight and neither disappointed!

I've a "few" 39's and they are Smoothbore Matchlocks,compared to a Vudoo. Hint................

For me it is a Remington 541S. I have wanted one since I was a teenager. With todays prices I think there are better rifles for less money but I still want one.

This is where I am a too.

I LOVE my Mountie.

A have one or two rifles laying around like most guys, but for pure fun, the Mountie is my favorite.
