Show Us your Rimfire Rifles

[chud333]

All right people. It's probably been done before but how
about pictures of your favorite "rimfire" rifles.
The fun gun you take to the range or to hunt with.
The older i get the more i appreciate the reduced recoil
and minimal expense when shooting these little beauties.
I'll start, here's 4 i have handy as they we're out of the
safe being cleaned after a day of shooting.
Top to bottom CZ 452 in .17 rimfire--Winchester model 74
autoloader in like new condition. Browning BL 22 lever action,
and the ever trusty (everyone has to have one), Ruger 10/22.

Dads 61 winchester with a octogon barrel in .22 long rifle


Winchester 1890 converted from .22 WRF to .22 WMRF, also has been pistol gripped with a longer stock with a cheek piece.

Winchester 63 .22 long rifle that was made right at the end of production 1957. Somehow I bought it new in the box with the hanging tags about 20 years after it was made!

That's easy, my Remington Model 33 single shot.

My Nylon 66 in my Godson's hands....if you are wondering what that white box is, it's ammo.

Here's mine. A multi-year project.

This started as a Winchester Mod. 52C target rifle in near new condition. I had the barrel cut back to 22 inches and a 11 degree bench rest crown applied. Then the custom stock was made.

More recently I bought the Liberty Essence suppressor. Liberty did the necessary threading to the front of the barrel without any disturbance to the crown. The suppressor is titanium and a scant 4 ounces. At 6" length it takes the barrel back out to its original 28" overall length.

The scope is a Leupold VX3 3.5-10 50mm EFR.

The rifle is deadly accurate and quieter than an air rifle with subsonic ammo.

As for the target, I purposely moved the point of impact away from the very center so I could maintain a consistent aiming picture. That's why the group is low left.

My old Mossberg military traniner.

Have a hand full of target 22's. couple of model 52's, savage model 19's, Remington model 37 and several more. These are all tack drivers!!

The ones all the way to the right are a little bigger than 22lr

gjamison-You have some beauties there! I really like .22s!
Here are a couple I am fond of for various reasons.
The first is a Remington 34P with a Wollensac scope. The next is a Winchester 75 Sporter with a Noske mount and a Lyman Alaskan scope. Everything on the 75 I believe is about 1939-40.

 

[boykinlp]

Here is one of mine:

A 1964 Marlin Golden 39A with vintage Marlin Micro-Vue 4X scope.



Here is the same gun as it sits now with a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 4X scope.

This Kimber is a favorite squirrel rifle...Reminds me of a Winchester model 70.

Savage 1917(?) with Weaver K4 over my Marlin 989M2 that I've had since I was 13.Been thru several scopes.


Savage 74 single shot I picked up a few years ago.

 

[joestacey06]

My Christmas gift to myself this past year. Savage .17 hmr with accu-trigger, stainless bull barrel and a 3-9 x 40 Bushnell scope. Dead on at 50 yards. Haven't shot further yet.

 

[mick1213]

Favorite shooter at this moment- Rem. 40xb

A couple of Anschutz 54s shoot well also.

 

[rimfired]

My meager collection of "boys rifles", single shot .22's.
Every barn in the land had one hanging from a nail to kill rats, squirells, pigeons, etc. when I was a kid.
Two Stevens Favorites top, a Stevens Marksman.
Then my jewels, all three versions of the Remington #4 rolling block, knob takedown, lever takedown and solid frame. A Belgian parlour gun at the bottom.

Ammo ??????? What is ammo?

 

[zoom6zoom]

Forgot to put this one in my previous post... as I was only thinking .22,,,
But this is my oldest, and prettiest. Swiss Vetterli 1869/71 in .41 rimfire. You thought .22LR was hard to find?

Nice little Remington Nedlate, but I am a little biased! Here is my 1933 vintage model 34 NRA that my grandfather bought new the year my mother was born. He taught her how to shoot in their basement in Spokane and I learned with it when I was younger. It's wearing a Leupold 2-7x scope and I still have the original peep sight.

 

[LTC]

This is my latest purchase. A M1922MII Springfield military trainer in .22lr.



The target is 5 shots from 25 yards benched, but have had similar results at 50 yards. It is truly a tack driver.

Larry-

This is precisely the sort of photo that I was hoping to see here. A fine photo of a fine rifle.

Anybody got CZ .22's?

The mini Model 70 action was one of the big things that drew me to the Kimber 22. Another was the trigger, it is simply the finest factory trigger I have ever felt on any .22lr sporting rifle, easily adjustable from 12oz to 4 lbs.

Not only does it look good but the darn thing can shoot, this is pic a a couple of 100 yard groups using cheap Federal ammo. Granted it was a perfect dead calm day but it shows what the rifle is capable of doing. If it ever misses the mark the blame lays squarely with the shooter. When I pony up the dough for Eley Tenex I can compete with and occasionally win .22 matches at my local club against heavy target rifles like Anschutz 54s, Wakther UITs, and Win 52s.

 

[5Wire]

Savage 93R17 BVSS first 25 rounds downrange out of the box. 50 yds.

 

[Dennis The B]

My favorite: Kimber Model 82G. This was purchased in 2009 at Camp Perry CMP store. The group in the target averaged out to ".1", with Wolf Match Target ammo. The second target is that of a dead fly. I had to "trap" it, but it's fun to know just how accurate these rifles are, out of the box.

Here's a few that I like....
