I have been collecting, selling and shooting .22s for almost 50 years. I would like to have a custom rifle built, a single shot, on an action like Ruger's #1. If it is a factory built rifle, It would have to be a Cooper Western Classic. I own a Super America, a Model 52, 541S and many others. I'll probably sell some rifles and get the Cooper.

Dream 22 would be a 22mag in a Ruger No.1

My "ideal" 22lr would be a Kimber Montana. Aside from that, I use this:

Got mine, a "sporterized" 10/22. Might add a suppressor.

I have always been fond of my Waffenfabrik Training Mauser 98 in 22LR. I don't know alot about mausers but this one looks just like an issued 98 just in 22LR, I even have the bayonet for it. I got if from my grandfather who took it home from Germany, still have the capture papers. My grandfather always claimed you could light a match with it, I don't know about that but it's a tack driver.

Brad, Looks like an oil refinish on that Ruger. I did the same thing on a 77/17, including rounding the square edges. Sure improve this stock. Virgil B.

Since we're talking dream 22LR I'll take a Martini Hagn single shot with octagon barrel.
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!

No re-finish. Standard stainless Ruger 77/22. I took it out of the Zytel stock (sold that on ebay) and put it into an NIB factory walnut stock I got on Auctionarms.com for $100. To make the conversion from plastic to walnut I had to get bottom metal (stainless "Target Grey") from Ruger. I dropped in a new sear (lightened the trigger to 2lbs) and mounted a standard 2-7x33 Leupold. It shoots around .5", five-shot, fifty-yard groups with the cheapo American Eagle factory stuff. All in all a superb little rifle! Here it is when it had a 3-9x33 on top (shows the wood better):

Just curious what yours would be. I've been thinking about selling a few my centerfire rifles and getting into something nice.
A few of the Coopers have caught my eye but who know's. I'm easily swayed. What do you like?
Terry Terry: You just can not spend enough money if you go with any factory gun. I found this out years ago. As you may remember this is why I seek the same Orbendorf barrel for my M-2 1922 project. Unless you can get 5K+ in a project you just won't be satisfied. In other words you just got to make up your mind and beat your pocketbook to death. If you do, I will feel your pain!

Well, we are talking about dreaming here right? My .22LR dream gun would be a Ruger 10/22 that has been SBRed and FA and with a threaded barrel with a screw on suppressor. I'm not a fan of FAs other than the Thompson M1, but a FA .22LR would be sweeeeeeeeeeet! With the cost of ammo as it is nowadays, it would be the wisest choice for a FA.

LINK To just wet your appetite. I know that this will be more to your liking.

LINK To just wet your appetite. I know that this will be more to your liking. That would work! I had to tone down my wants a little though. There are some serious rumors floating about my company closing down. I did buy a little BRNO model 1 and I'm refinishing the stock. So far I'm liking it. Terry

Not really, just clean the closet. This is the time to be trading up, unload the less desirable and cash out for the big ticket stuff. Now is the time to unload the stuff that never sees the light of day/never gets shot or seen.

This is my Cooper Custom Classic in 22lr. The Kimber Super America is sweet also.
