So Who likes their Rim-Fire Rifles with Levers? - pics

[VonFatman]

I sure do!! My first was a M250 Winchester...learned to rifle hunt with it...
I traded it in 1973 for a M9422 Winchester...

Then a couple years ago, I called my dad to see if I might run a few rounds through his Marlin 39A..."you traded it off without calling me"?

So I looked around for a while and picked up a nice 1968 Model 39A. It was so fun to shoot, a year or two later a I manged to also locate and buy it's shorter cousin, a 1962 39A Mountie.

I now have four lever .22s...I sure like them all!!

My "replacement" Model 250 Winchester. Picked it up a few weeks ago at a gunshow...it felt like "old home week" when I picked it up:

I'm game. Here's my BL22 and I have a first year 9422 (1972) with a period correct Redfield on it but I don't think that I have pics of it. Slide actions? Now that's a different story. Those I have plenty of.

I have a Henry Golden Boy in 22lr, got it for Christmas a couple of years ago, it is the smoothest most accurate lever gun I have ever had the pleasure to shoot.

I love my 39a but to be honest I like gallery guns much better....easier to stay on target....

I thought I had a pic of my mint 1952 production 39A somewhere, but I guess not. A friend of mine has a couple of Winchester 9422's an ANIB 1978 production rifle and a late '90's production 9422 Trapper for sale. I've been debating about picking them up and and really leaning toward picking up this pair from him next time I visit him, He just has too many nice Winchester's I want!

The first gun I ever bought was a Browning BL22 Deluxe that I bought with my first real job paycheck back in 1979. Still have it and in the past 30 years it's put hundreds of squirrels and rabbits on the dinner table, plus no telling how many other varmits including several coyotes.

The BL22 is very accurate and very reliable, and I love the 45 degree short lever throw which allows for very swift follow up shots.

Ruger fan..

I have two lever action rimfire rifles by Ruger..one in 22LR and one in 17HRM..plus I have the parts to convert the 22LR to a 17MKII and the 17HRM to a 22MAG..so I am set with just those two..short throw allows easy target recovery and magazines are for a 10/22 so they can be hi-cap or 10 rounds in 22LR or 9 in the 17/22MAG setup..I do enjoy a nice rimfire rifle to plink with..all5x

Two of mine. The full-length rifle is the first gun I ever bought with my own money. I bought it from my Uncle in 1960 or 1961. The Mountie is one I bought at the local gun emporium about 15 years ago. It had "issues" with the finish, so I sent it to Checkmate in Florida for a matte chrome finish. Both guns date from the late 50s/early 60s. I believe one is from 1959 and the other from 1960. Don't remember which now. Have a bad case of CRS.

I also have a Winchester 9422M Trapper that I haven't made a good picture of.

Nice rifles!!

Gav-n-Tn,
I have always thought I'd get a Browning BL22...never saw one priced where I wanted.

AzCommander,
A friend brings his to the range and lets me play with it...nice rifles!

Sip,
I've shot a few Gallery Guns...like a Browning 22-Auto...they are lightweight and feel right at your shoulder.

Steave,
You can't have too may Winchesters!! (or Marlins).

All5x,
I do not have any Ruger lever-guns. I do like Ruger OM SAs!!

redlevel,
Nice refinish on the 39A...I had never seen one like it. Very cool!

Misty,
Is that the Magnum model? That's the nicest one I've seen. My dad has two deluxe 9422s...one Mag and the other LR...Your gun's wood is nicer than his.

My brother was given a M-49 Ithaca on a X-mas long ago. Little ole single shot LR carbine.

I was hoping he'd up and die fairly soon so I could enjoy shootin' it...

 

[PALADIN85020]

I have 3 Remington Nylon Model 76s - two in Mohawk Brown, and one in Apache Black (Chromed, very rare). Also a couple of Winchester 94-22s, one new in the box, and one for shooting. I decided to get those as an investment when Winchester discontinued making them in New Haven.

I prefer bolt or autoloader actions, but the levers just seem to have a romance about them - very fun to shoot.

Yes, it's a magnum. I had wanted a 9422 for a long time. My mind was on a .22 lr, but when I saw this at a really decent price, I just couldn't refuse! Some day I'll get the .22 lr to go with it.

 

[michael thornton]

i have a 39a made in 1958 love it

 

[Gun 4 Fun]

I have a beautiful early 9422 that is is exactly like gunlovingirl's, except mine's a .22 LR. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of it.

Lever guns sure do have a "look" about them...
