I have enjoyed this thread, lots of “classics”. I have a couple but they have been modified to better suit the shooter.

I learned how to shoot with a Winchester (Model 67) and competed with a borrowed Remington complete with long barrel and peep sights. I wish I still had that one. It kept me in the top two.

Eventually, I wanted my own rifles. I bought a Ruger 77/22 worked over the action and trigger but the barrel was too short for me, I am old school. So, I found a Winchester model 52 barrrl removed and replaced the factory barrel. What a difference!!

The next rimfire I got was an old Springfield Model 1922. Completely stock with one tiny exception. It was converted to center fire and rechambered for the very young 22 Hornet! What a rifle! Heavy but capable of extreme accuracy.

I will eventually get a Model 1922 (of some variation) when my godfather decides he does not need it. For that one, I can wait.

I owe you photos.
