In my world of .22 Rimfire rifles I like the CZ American and the Winchester 9422 Legacy.

On the CZ American one may change out the OEM slotted head screws for pan head socket screws which maybe obtained from J&P Products LLC

I was surprised at the quality of the wood on the CZ but I’m no disappointed with the Winchester either.

Both rifles have their merits. I can’t bring myself to mount a scope on the Winchester. I’ll probably mount a receiver sight then maybe not that either. Just your basic wood and steel not your plastic fantastic.

Hi Dennis,
Nice rifles, nice wood. I really like the CZ.
Thanks for the pics.
Mike

dennis, that wood on the CZ is super nice. i have 452AA that is pretty plain, but shoots like it has eyes. thanks for sharing. lee

Great guns!
Here is my favorite--my Kimber Custom Classic, Left-Hand, Burris Signature Select 4-14X Scope...

Nice rifles, but they put the bolt on the wrong side; those silly Czechs, must be kids.

Yeah : I noticed that too. Must be for my left handed grandson. He is shooting his Dad's Model 99 .300 Savage.

22's have been my favorite for a long time .

More with the bolt on the wrong side...Ultra Light Arms Model 20, Leupold 3-9X Compact.

My bolt is on the correct side at least.

My Kimber 82 S-Series supergrade. One of 535 built in .22 LR.

Very nice 9422.

Was that a special edition with the pistol grip stock with corresponding lever or is that a customized gun. I don't recall seeing one before, but I really like the looks of it. The barrel looks longer than standard as well. My '81 vintage 9422 is jealous.

CJ, the Legacy was standard with that stock and barrel length. I have one around here somewhere, but no pictures.

I can't believe you manly S&W types shoot rimfires!

Cooper:



Winchester 52D - steel, baby!



When I was younger, I used to turn my nose up at Mossbergs, which is further proof that I am sometimes (often?) an idiot. This 44 US(b) is more fun than chasing girls (at least at my age):



My all-time favorite .22 rifle, a BRNO #5. You can tell it's had a hard life:



Pumps are good, very American. Here's a Winchester 62A:




But I like this Remington 121 better:



I have a lot more (really need to take a picture of my Martini 12/15, you guys would like it), but that's enough wasted bandwidth for me. Suffice it to say that I really like rimfires, from $50.00 specials on up. I'll close with something rimfire and S&W related:

If there is quality in the photographs it’s the camera over riding the ineptitude of the operator.

The wood is rather nice but it was the luck of the draw. Left-hand rifles are seldom in stock. It was a surprise to both the dealer and my self. The dealer said that was the best figured wood he has seen to date on a CZ American.

As for the bolt being on the wrong side I’d say it’s about time.

Kimber and Ultra Light are both on my whish list.

The Winchester 9422 Legacy standard barrel length to the best of my knowledge is 22-1/2 in. My example is for 22 Long & Long Rifle but not for usage with Shorts. My understanding is there were feeding/safety issues with the short.

Dennis,

You have a pair of beautiful and fine .22 rimfires. If you mount a receiver sight on the Winchester, consider the NECG receiver sight. I put a Williams on my 9422M but later changed to the NECG. It's a little more expensive but it doesn't hang off the side of the receiver like the Williams, looks much better and is, in my opinion, a better peep sight.

Dennis,
Don't let those "wrong-handed" shooters throw cold water on that perfectly manufactured CZ!!

My Anschutz:



Other lefty approved rim-fires:


Need to get a pic of my Mountie to add to the collection!

Probably a couple of others.
I love rimfires!

There are some very sweet rifles in this thread, though mine may not be as pretty as some she is a very fine shooter with classic lines.

She's a Kimber .22 Hunter. A Mauser style claw extractor with controlled feed, fully adjustable trigger set up at 12oz, and Winchester style wing safety. I use it for hunting and target shooting, for a light sporter she holds here own against heavy target rifles often placing and occasionally winning.

I'm really enjoying this thread, contemplating all these great .22 rifles. I'd take any or all of them.

I have several .22 rifles but these three are my favorites. Left to right: Model 1922AII Springfield, Winchester Model 1890 (uncommon in .22 Long Rife), and a sad but scarce Winchester Model 57.

Nice rifle Ron. I always liked the 541 / 581 series but never understood why Remington didn't put a tang on the rear of that action. Thosy would look even better if there was something to fill in that big groove they rout thru the stock .

Sceva, I couldn't agree more. I'm thinking of drilling some holes back there to store spare ammo.

All these repeaters, how about a single shot?



Bullberry 22LR Match barrel, Bullberry wood and I like it!

Here is my Mountie, and my Buckmark. I need to do a number on the Mounty's furniture, it needs refinishing.

wqy cool. never seen a mountie!

Here's a few of the more oddball ones.

First: a Ross straight pull 22 single shot training rifle. The next shot shows the stampings on the stock indicating the units to which it was issued. Apparently it had a long service life. I think Ross also made a civilian version; if anyone has one, I'd sure like to see it.

Next: a Krag with a 22 short barrel by Stevens-Pope. The next picture shows the offset barrel: it uses the standard Krag extractor. I've heard that there was a 22 adaptor for the trapdoor rifle; a steel cartridge case bored and rifled for a 22 short. I've never seen one: anyone got any info on this?

Next an Izmash Biathlon 22 straight pull rifle. It's not really a biathlon rifle, but I think Izmash produces a biathlon rifle using this action. It has a great trigger pull and is a real tack driver.

A couple more strange ones.

The first is a Berthier 07/15, originally in 8mm Lebel. In the 1930s, the chamber was reamed out for Balle N, and the barrel, receiver and sight stamped N. Then it was sleeved to 22 long rifle, and the bolt received a new bolt head.

Last is the receiver of my Springfield M2 22. It's stamped M1922M1. I bought it from a Navy surplus sale for (eat your heart out) $25. It has all the M2 parts. I think the Navy bought the parts, converted the rifles and didn't bother to stamp them: their main interest is rifles with about 16 inches bores.

You can never have too many 22s. I enjoy all of mine from my first Marlin 56 to the new S&w MP 15-22. So many in between. Most of mine are Marlin but there is a Rem 121, a Browning BLR and a few others thrown in.
