What .22lr Is On Your Wall?
« on: November 27, 2017, 08:38:02 AM »
Rastus' thread on his T Bolt got me thinking ... Damn I hate you Rastus!

I have read, wish I could remember who said it, that you can tell a gun guy by the quality of the .22 on his wall.

What is your .22lr, and what is your dream .22lr?

I have a few that stand out:

Nobel lever action:  My father's gun;
A Stevens single shot bolt action: My father-in-law's gun;
A Ruger 10/22:  Doesn't everyone have a truck gun;
A Henry Golden Boy:  Cowboy and plinking fun;
A Savage Mark II:  Climbing the ladder of quality for Small bore competition and games

My dream gun, right now, is to get into an Anschutz.  However, that is more gun than I can fully use at this time.

It's never hanging on the wall but I've had a Ruger 10/22 for close to 40 years that came with real a walnut stock. I put a Butler creek folding stock and a Smith Enterprises slip-on compensator made just for 10/22s that looks very much like this one on it. https://www.wingtactical.com/firearm-parts/ar-15/muzzle-devices/smith-enterprise-5-56-good-iron-muzzle-brake/

My mom gave me a couple of old bolt action .22 rifles of my dad's but I don't keep them here. When she dies my brothers will most likely take them but that's okay. One is a single shot and one has a tubular magazine. I think it's a Winchester and a Remington.

I've got the 10/22 target bull barrel with a thumbhole stock on her.  Shoots single hole groups at 50yds with CCI Standard Velocity.

Am getting another 10/22, but a cheapie with plastic stock to build out as a project gun.  Main difference is the barrel will be threaded and the stock a little more tactical.

I don't guess I have a dream .22 LR rifle........ mine have always been utilitarian versus fancy.

My go-to .22 for downright accuracy is my trusty Remington Nylon 66.

My Marlin 60's are great tools as well.

I do have a Remington 512 bolt action that was my uncle's. Sometime in the past the stock got broken and the barrel needs to be re-crowned, but I want to restore it. I've always liked to work with wood, and have always wanted to carve a stock....so, sometime down the road, I'll tackle it.

<snip>

Oh yeah.  Say it a gain and I'll remind you about the Blue Ruger....huh, how do you like that big boy?

Blue Ruger, Blue Ruger, Blue Ruger.

My bestus one is the one I won right here...the Blue Ruger.  I sure wish we had those give-a-way things again.

Remington 552 Speedmaster and the T-bolt are nice.  I think of them as "Gentleman's guns".  Dang T-bolt can't shoot it's way out of a paper bag because of the trigger.   Bilt I have an A-bolt from the mid-80's unfired I picked up for $500 with tax from a local gun store no blemishes on it including a good quality scope.  Got the 39A and a Winchester 9422.  The 9422 showed up around 1981 and never shot worth a dang....I'm just sayin'...love the gun hate the groups and I have a new barrel from Numrich's somewhere around for the last year to put on it.  Then there is the 10/22 with the AAC Cloak barrel.  Got an AR-7...THANKS AGAIN Majer for the mag.

My most accurate, a Remington Matchmaster 513T.  Sighted in for 45 yards it shoots bugholes.  Killed 83 squirrels with that one year many years ago...one "miss" on a moving squirrel in the neck all the rest were head shots.  Yep, I am bragging and nope, I don't eat squirrel brains with or without scrambled eggs (sorry to disappoint you Peg). 

Surprisingly, the cheap Marlin bolts from 12-15 years ago are good guns if you tune the trigger up.  I don't have one but each of my boys do.
