Adult Single Shot .22?

The savage mkii were pretty good, tho mag feed. Cmp has the single shot target is like to get but I'm not cmp

Anshutz Model 54

There were some kimber 82 government target rifles on gun broker last I looked in the $500 range.

Winchester 52D

Yup, Savage Mk2 if on a budget.

This, if money is no object-

If you'll settle for .22 WMR then H&R made a number of single-shot rifles they generically called "Handi-rifles" and I have one, their SS1 Ultra Mag, which is one heck of a tack driver and a lot of fun shooting:

... and is pretty appealing to the old eyeballs, as well, IMO.

Didnt T/C make/offer .22LR barrels for the Contender carbines?

I think Keystone is offering adult-sized singles too now.

Or any 52 with a single-shot sled adapter.

Look for savage 72 or Stevens crackshot. Sometimes they can be found cheap and they're great guns.

Or like @NIGHTLORD40K said, if money is no object get one of these-

One of the CZ 457's with a single shot adaptor?

Perhaps the Jaguar or LUX?

This is a savage I picked up about 10 years ago. It was in New condition and cost a whopping $90. Shoots better then I can. Cool little guns.

The Remington model 33 is a nice single shot considering how affordable they where new. Gun is on the smaller side but does have about a 13.5" lop and is a true single shot with Manuel cocking. Wish I had a few more of them.

The stock is a little cheesy, but I think it will fit into a Boyd's stock for the MK II. You'll just have an empty hole in the bottom where the magazine would have been. Also, the trigger guard is integral in the Savage plastic stock, so you'll need the bottom metal also if you switch to the Boyd's.

EDIT TO ADD: In the link above, the rifle in the picture has no rear sight. I have no idea why Savage would post that picture, since that rifle definitely comes with a rear sight. I'm sure because I used to have one.

Here's one on Gunbroker:

Excellent idea..... You beat me to it. Or an older CZ 452 or 455 from the used market. Also wonder if the 457 series uses the same magazines as the 452, 453 & 455's ? CZ made single shot adapters about 4 years ago for the 452, 453, 455 series. Picked one up back then for my 455 and they are nice. . I'd bet they could be had for a 457 also.

The Savage “Stevens 30”. I have one those. It is an adult sized .22 single shot falling block. Mine is very accurate. I actually enjoy shooting it more than my 10/22.

There is no way to mount a scope that I know of. I wouldn’t mount one any way.
The roll mark showing the model number isn’t real clear. It’s a fun rifle and is accurate with cheap ammo as well as CCI Stinger.
I think I paid $230 for this one back in 2000 or 2001.

My adult single shot 22 in an antique from the 30's. It's a Winchester 60.

savage Mk 1. I have one of those stevens crackshots in 22 mag. Its a nice little gun. Not quite adult size though.

This would be the holy grail for me.

A few of the old Remington and Winchester bolt actions were single shots.

I used to bring my little savage to work with me every day, I'd shoot used oil filters off a tree stump in my down time- I had a lot of down time. I'd generally use super colibri ammo so I wouldn't disturb the office workers. Dispatched a few varmint too. I was close to mutilating a scope onto it but I'm glad I didn't , my horrible plan was to weld a piece of rail to the barrel. I don't love the semibuckhorn sight but I can shoot it pretty well now that I settled down and learned how to use them.

I have a Remington 540XR. It is a single shot target rifle. They are fairly common and pretty reliable. And very accurate.
That target is at 50 yards. Most of them are around $500.or these days a little more. It is Definity full size. A lot more fun and accurate than a lightweight sporter.

The Savage Mark I G is kind of cool as well.

They make single shot adapters for both the Ruger American Rimfire/precision rimfire and Savage Mk2. I had a Kimber 82 and sold it when I got my Ruger Precision Rimfire.
The single shot was just tedious, I would only use the adapter if required for competition.

Yes and sometimes still available from folks like Natchez. I have an original and it sometimes out shoots my 52.
