Default Please share your cheap rifles...22 LR for $100? That's just fine here.



As you know, our hobby can get expensive. Lately, rather than buying a high-end condition Smith, I've been buying practical plinking guns for nice days here on the hobby farm. Now that 22 LR is more or less back, it's a fun way to enjoy the sport with my wife and enjoy some degree of marksmanship.

I recently bought a Savage Model 64F for $125.00 OTD brand new. Ya, the trigger takes getting used too. I need to order a few additional mags. But, boy. This thing is a nice little plinking gun.

No sense in posting a picture of a brand new stock gun. However, please feel free to share your cheap rifles that may not cost a lot but are practical. Best, TH

This should only fuel the fire for a fun lil .22. I've got a 15-22, but been thinking about adding a little bolt action 22, hopefully with a threaded barrel, if they exist..

Winchester 75 Sporter for $74.50. About forty years ago, but a good deal even then.

Traded 2 Ambassadeur reels for this nice JC Higgins model 28 semi auto. Think it's a High Standard.

I have a 1973 Glenfield Model 60 given me by my dad. I've never seen the need to replace it.

Last year I bought a Winchester M60, circa 1930's for my then 9 year old granddaughter for $140.00.

Hard to match the quality today for twice the price.

I have a thing for Winchester model 67's. My dad started with one in the 40's, I started with the same one in the 70's. My son started with the same one in the 2000's. When I run across them cheap ($150 or less) I buy them. About full up right now, but I love sharing these with the Boy Scouts and new shooters. Hard to find a better built 22, that is ultra safe, accurate, readily available, cheap to feed, and a fine example of quality built American history. When I see guys looking at and asking about the chipmunks and other new single shot 22's for starting their son or daughter, I often share my knowledge on the model 67. I have given more than one new shooter a great deal on one from my stock pile.

Do love the quality of those old 22's like the Rem 550 and Winchester 75 myself. But would be happy to locate a Mossberg 640 Chuckster like the one I shot back in the 70's. Some good ole nostalgia.

Cut down 1891 Argentine Mauser with a nice Williams ramp front sight and the original military rear. $75 about 3 years ago. The salesman said the gunsmith said it wouldn't shoot because the barrel wasn't crowned properly. I guarantee he never shot it. Once I get a receiver sight mounted to match the ramp, it will be my pig gun.

Can't remember exactly what I paid for a 10/22 on sale couple years ago, maybe $170. Was going to get a fancy stock and .920 Barrel but decided just keep as is.

One comes to mind, A Winchester Model 70 Black Shadow 30-06. $250 with a cheaper Tasco Varmint scope. Very poor Camo paint job including the scope.. A lot of elbow grease and Acetone. Came out to be a very clean stock rifle, a $40 CDNN original Winchester FW stock and it shot MOA with many loads. Gave it to my SIL the Marine.. (Retired Navy LOL )

I traded a cement mixer that I had paid $25 for in exchange for a custom Thompson Contender in 375 JDJ. It came with a magna ported custom Sisk barrel, TSB rings and based, holster and a 2 power Leupold scope.

About 10-12 years ago a local guy on another board took in a Rossi 62A on a trade with the sole intention of reselling it. He asked $200 and no takers. $150 and still no sale. After a couple of months he just posted that if someone would give him $60, they could have it. I figured why not?
I guess he never shot it because if he had, he never would have sold it. This little sucker is a tack driver! This rifle and a set of swingers makes for a great day.

Last year I took in a little Mossberg 702 on a trade. They're actually made by CBC in Brazil. Good Lord! This thing was awful! The trigger was long, gritty and about 10 pounds. Constant feed jams.Its a very cheap gun.
But, I saw some potential there and decided to make a project out of it. With a bit of judicious stoning, a reduced trigger spring, a set of sling swivels and a cheap Academy scope, this little sucker is now completely reliable, has a smooth, slick 4 lb trigger and will consistently shoot 1/2" or less with just about any ammo.
I guess you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

I have my first firearm, a Winchester model 190 semi-auto in .22LR. I bought it new at K Mart (remember them?) for $54 when I was 18. AND it was a package deal, so I got a tasco scope with it...for free. I could never get the scope to work right, so I believe I tossed it, but I still have the gun.

I bought a rather cool old bolt action Mossberg .22 with a tube magazine a few years ago. I can't remember the model #, but I believe it came originally with a more or less full length stock (ala Enfield), if that helps. The stock had been cut down on my gun. I think I paid 120 something or 130 something for the gun a few years ago. It works ok, but it may not be as accurate as my other .22 rifles.

My best "deal" is a .22 Stevens Buckhorn rifle that was given to me by my dad several years ago. It was one of his first rifles, and he bought it new in 1935 or 36, when he was about 15 years old. I wish I knew how much he paid for it - I'm guessing it was a $10 rifle back then. Very plain, with a very stiff trigger, but it's more accurate than the Mossberg. My dad is still living - 96 years old.

Picked up this clip fed Remington Nylon at a gun show close to 40 years ago I think for $40. Rode for over 20 years behind seat of my pickup. Still shoots like new.

I had a customer give me a mint 1948 Remington 514, free. He later brought me an Uruguyan 1871/94 Mauser Doviitis. I need to find someone to repair the firing pin on this one, as it was clipped. It too is a really nice condition rifle. Also free.

I had always wanted an AR-7, since I saw "From Russia with Love" back in the dim mists of time...when it first came out in theaters. About a year or so, I was at the Barbershop (a wonderful place for gun trading), and a fellow was offering one of the old Charter Arms, Stratford Connecticut versions for well under a hundred. These photos don't really do it justice, just snapped them with my iPhone.

Broken down and self stored:



Assembled in about a minute:



It makes a great truck gun, as it is by design, self storing, so that dirt doesn't get into the mechanism, and it takes up very little room, and you can keep a couple of hundred rounds of ammo in a very small space, and it is just plain cool.

Best Regards, Les

Picked up a Beretta 22 short for $25. Guy took it in payment of a debt and didn't want it.

Model 12 for $200==did the cosmetics myself.


Mossberg 22 mag "Chuckster" for $125.

I've got a lot in the $200-$300 range also, but kept it under $201.

Best buy (and I traded my brother for a OM Blackhawk) was a S & W Model 58 for $86 when I got out of the Army. He still has it 40 years later!

I was in a LGS about 10 years ago and they had just bought out a police property room. I never saw so many abused guns in my life! They was an entire shopping cart of single barrel shotguns and another of 22 rifles. I spotted one adult sized 22 with a re-varnished stock that was scratched to no end, but the muzzle was funny looking. Upon closer inspection, someone had threaded the last half inch to a standard 3/8" bolt thread. However the crown was beautiful. I let them rip me off for $35 and took it on my next range trip. It had scope grooves on the tube fed receiver, so I used a set of one inch rings and put a 6.5-20 Veri-X III on top of it for the day. With Eley Club ammo, I got a few groups as small as 5/8" at 100 yards, but most were around 1". Currently that gun is in storage. When I get a chance, I'll have it cut back to about 3/4" ahead of the tube and re-threaded to 1/2"x28 threads, so my can will fit. Ugly? yes. Cheap? Defiantly! Deadly? Why else have it!

Mossberg Model 46B with a tubular magazine. The trigger guard and butt plate were painted gold. I removed the paint. Otherwise, the rifle is in pretty good condition. I bought it when I was in college. I think I paid $25. I haven't fired it in years. When I need to shoot a .22 rifle, I shoot either my Winchester 9422 or my Browning T-Bolt.
