A good .22 is tough to beat

Cooey model 60's are my faves.

I'm a huge CZ fan as many know but my favorite 22 LR of all time is their progenitor...my 1947 Brno Model #1 complete with tri-leaf express sites & walnut stock. Through the years, I have shot it more than all my other 22 LR's combined.

I have got a few .22's and love to sit around and plink with them.

Right now my favorite is a CZ 455 Lux. I am just shooting with the open sights and it is extremely accurate. Along those lines I also have a 452 Trainer that shoot great with the irons.

Another one of my iron sighted .22's is a Marlin 39a Mountie. It is a joy to hunt with and shoots great. I have Skinner peeps on that one.

For fun with the family and a great truck gun, the Ruger 10/22 is hard to beat. I have a few of these with sights, red dots, and scoped. I put one together today and hope to get out tomorrow to shoot it a bit.

For magnums I like the 77/22 Mag and the Ruger American RF.

On my list is a Tikka and a Begara BRM.

Spending the day with good friends or family and a good .22 is tops for me.

Nice group photo . I like Cooeys a lot , living on the border here we see some that made it across the river . I like their no frills approach , nothing fancy or elagant but neat in their own way.

Here's my CZ 457 premium. 22's are fun!

These rifles helped a significant number of Boy Scouts get their Rifle Shooting Merit badge.

I had one of these years ago I bought at Cook's Gunshop in Biloxi Ms. It was THE most accurate iron sighted .22 I have ever fired/owned. I traded it (LIKE A FOOL!!!) for something long gone by now. Beautiful rifle.

I liked the "elevator" that would lift the rounds up when you worked the bolt.

I do love me a nice 22 and I guess my favorite is my 1949 Remington 241 Speed Master. The 241 was the second iteration of the Browning design (the 24 was the first) licensed in the US. In Europe FN was the licensed manufacturer. It's tube fed through the stock and bottom ejecting. Made by Remington from 1935 until 1951 and then imported by Browning Arms initially from FN as the SA-22 it's still a popular design today.



Like many rifles from that era it is a take-down style for easy transport.



A close second favorite is my Mossberg "New Haven" 251-C carbine.



Like the Remington it is tube fed through the stock but a more conventional Starboard side port, not a take-down and slightly shorter overall.

Some are more accurate, some are just fun, I like them all..

Don't have a photo of it with me so I will have to borrow Ruger's.



10/22 Sporter with TechSights and trigger work by Brimstone Gunsmithing.

It's more accurate than I am and looks good too.

My all-around best 22 is my 10-22. I also have a Savage Mk2 suppressed that is a lot of fun. And an old nylon 66 that is just cool. Finally, a S&W M&P (AR looking thing) that is only a training aid, and performs its duty well.

This Steyr Mannlicher is a pleasure to shoot and the set triggers makes it even nicer.

The elevator system is what sold me in it.
Got mine at a pawn shop in Vancouver,wa for $115. Mine is very accurate, took it out with some buddies a few weeks back and everyone was really impressed by it, we were hitting Two inch plates at 50yds was no problem at all. I routinely shoot tin cans at 100yds with it Might have something to do with how tiny that rear sight notch is.
I’m wanting to get it drilled and tapped for a scope as it’s not of collector quality and use it for my squirrel gun.

How do you like your trigger job? What level of trigger work did you get? Brimstone is a local place and I have been meaning to drop my trigger group off to them for the last 2 years. Guess I’m a procrastinator.

I love the work Brimstone did on mine. Had them do the same thing for two more for my daughters. I went with the Tier Two Intermediate and chose the "sweet spot." Literal glass rod breaking at 2.4lbs on mine.

I will caution one thing. When it comes back it will NOT act like a Ruger factory trigger. Keep your finger off until you are literally ready to fire. No stacking, no creep, and no heavy pull.

...like this Ruger RAR (compact), w/ Tech Sights, in this vid.


Great field/trail carbine.

I have several and after years of weeding they all seem pretty special to me:


I suppose the two that earn particular mention at present are my first gun and my most recent acquisition. Dad bought me a Marilin-Glenfield M25 at Kmart for my 16th birthday. It's been dolled up considerably from original condition, but it makes it to the range pretty regularly and still shoots good.





My newest .22 is a S&W M&P 15-22. Not as accurate as some, but seems to work well and hits the right spot to tickle my inner 14-year-old.

NO shortage of 22's around here, of the lot that I call my "good ones", is my NULA and Anschutz's...

I like my Anschutz's 22's, but the NULA is the one I like best!

Remington Nylon 66. You just can't kill them. Even though the style is 65 years old now, they still look futuristic. To me anyway.

Yeah, that old 66 is my go to. OP asks "what 22 do you have that is good?" .

All of them. Marlin 60s, 10/22s, they all are accurate and dependable. I like the tubies a little better than the box mag fed.
