The Every Trip Range Gun

[Babysitr]

I shoot only outside, so anything goes, but my 4.25" Python has been making every trip lately....guess its growing on me

 

[Hair Trigger]

Very nice, that's what I want next. Is that a MkIII, or...? I have a 22/45 MkIII I want to trade for a MkIV Hunter (long barrel).

I usually take my M41 on all range excursions.

I shoot rifles twice a week. This is a Winchester 52D with a Lyman 25X scope. The rifle is from 1964 and the scope even earlier. The attached target will show you why I shoot it a lot. That is five shots. The coin is a Barber Nickel.

That SK ammo is some good stuff. The BSA Martini 12 I think dates from late 1930's. (I need a better glass to make out the Birmingham proof date) The scope is a Litschert 20X, likely from the late 40's. The plebeian Roosevelt dime will have to do.

 

[Rammer Jammer]

One of my Single-Sixes gets shot each range trip. Every range trip requires some rimfire plinking.

I have a K-22 and it is a hoot to shoot. However, I really like shooting my Walther OSP in .22 Short. It is the front pistol in the picture of the pistol box. Ungodly accurate, it puts me to shame if I am out of the 10 ring. The OSP is of course on the top. And as you can see I shamed myself.

On any range trip I always carry either my S&W 18-3, Ruger Standard Auto or MK. II. Concentrate on the 18 for the simple reason I've had one or more in my collection since 1983. Have had 17's as well as Brownings, Colts, etc. Just never really warmed up to the Colts or Brownings.

Today I will go to the range. I will carry my 18, Mk. II and ... my 4 inch 586. Later this week, if possible, I will take my 9mm Sig 226 and my Standard Auto to the range. In a few days a K-frame trigger and hammer will arrive in the mail. Once installed, I will be able to take my 4 inch 19-2 to the range. Looking forward to it. Sincerely. bruce.

Have shot a lot of BSA's. I really like the Martini actions. Enjoy yours!!

I really like the BSA's. Have owned and shot quite a few. I love the Martini actions.

I have a Barber Dime if that will help?

 

[old tanker]

The Barber dime is cool, but I don't think it will help me shoot any better.

I've got a couple of other Martinis. A Mark IV in 577-450 and a Cadet in 320-12-120. I agree, they are fun to shoot.

I have one case with a 6 inch model 17 (1953), an 8 3/8 model 17 (1978), a model 18 (1953), and a 4 inch model 48 (1978). Always goes to the range. Sometimes I forget other guns I intended to take, but I always have something to shoot.

Old tanker, nice rifles. If I go to the outdoor range the Al Freeland goes with me. Lucky to find one of the 21 super target .22 rifles Al Freeland made with an Eric Johnson barrel. Dated barrel in 1950, mine is number 11!!! Put the Lyman super target spot scope on it afterwards. Fun at 50 yds. Beautiful wood. This gun is a dream come true.

Recently found a Ruger No1 in .223 with a Douglas heavy barrel, has a Leupold 18x fine crosshair with a very small dot. Larry

It's a MKlll Hunter.

Nice 41, I'm leaning toward making one my next firearms purchase.

 

[indigo22]

98% of the time I'll take one or both of these to the range, S&W 2206 and a Ruger Charger-22 ...
Oh, the newly acquired NAA is now thrown into the mix as it happens to be in my pocket at all times.

Either a High Standard 102 Supermatic Citation, or a 103 Supermatic Tournament.

My 17-6 4", it makes me look a lot better than I am. # 2 is my 3" CS-1 for much the same reason.

The two that follow me to most every range session are my Model 27-9 and my Beretta M9. The 27-9 was purchased new in 2012 and is closing in on 15k rounds downrange. The M9 dates from 2011 and has over 12k rounds. So far the Model 27 has been trouble free. On the M9, I did prematurely crack a locking block at only 5,500 rounds.

I have five 22lr revolvers. Every range session has one (or two) in my bag. Fun and economical to shoot, they never disappoint. In the left photo (top to bottom) is a K22 Outdoorsman (1939), A K22 "LERK" (1947) and a K22 Combat Masterpiece (1953). Middle photo shows a 1950 Colt Officers Model Special, 4th issue (top). The bottom one is its 38 special sibling. The right side photo is an H&R "22 Special", circa 1935. The fit and finish of this one is really nice for a budget priced, depression era gun.

 

[31FordA]

I have a Ruger MkIV and a S&W .22 Combat Masterpiece in my range bag on every trip to the range. One or the other, often both, get shot on every trip to the range. I also keep a brick of .22 in the bag to keep them well fed.

 

[6GUNSONLY]

A 1952 K-22 and usually a 1911 of some sort. And I frequently shoot my carry gun at least a few times just for familiarity.

 

[stu1ritter]

My Mike Curtis built bullseye gun always seems to end up going with me. It's trigger and accuracy are always enjoyed. It has shot tens of thousands of rounds of 185gr/3.5 bullseye target loads over the years and is no worse for wear. It was decommissioned from bullseye dress with a dot to normal use a few years ago.

My "Every Trip Range Gun" and Traveling gun
is my old reliable 15Oct1997 S&W Mdl 617-1
22lr 4"bbl 6-shot revolver.

Had one of those with the 2" barrel. Someone else wanted it more than I did once the newness wore off.
