Very nice!!
Some genuinely breathtaking rifles. Thank you for sharing.While I could never call it perfect, here is another pretty nice .22 built around a Winchester M-52 with with considerable refinement: including tang safety, bottom metal and scope rings. The gorgeous stockwork was by the late Dale Goens and shown compared to a matching centerfire rifle also stocked by Goens. I regret not having more work done by Goens back when he was active, but he years slip by and suddenly it's too late.View attachment 1042032 View attachment 1042033 View attachment 1042036 View attachment 1042037 View attachment 1042038 View attachment 1042039
Wouldn't say "perfect" but it's my favorite;
I think this is the second run for Remington? Found this 541S next to an equally mint fat barreled T model on a "used" rack a waaay long time ago. Having been down the, "must be fat brrl road for too long".... road,I didn't even pick the heavier one up. Snagged this sporter for a little more than what a used Marlin 60 goes for?
It was love at first sight. Then fell up on the perfect little scope for it. Was at a well attended gun store whilst visiting in laws just S of D.C. Clark Bros in Warrenton Va. Perusing their used scope display case,hiding in the corner,behind/under all these giant scopes that were coming into vogue.....
Was this small,cute as a button Burris 4X,1" with 32? mm objective. Standing there yackin with the nice salesman,asked if I could bring the 541 in and see what it looked like. He was very nice and basically gave me the scope for free when paying retail for the Redfield base and rings that mated it to the gun. He said I was the 1st person who ever looked at it? German post reticle.
Had that scope on there and was just a peachy rig for 15 or so years. My #2 son surprised me with a NOS,Redfield 5star straight 6X, a few years ago. It too is/was a scope that no one was interested in and he got it for what Chinese doodoo scopes go for these days. Very crummy pic,will get it out and snap some "glamor" shots in the field. This was when first mounting the Redfield.
Would be called a liar telling of groups it'll produce. Completely unmolested,has factory adj trigger that's never been touched.... factory bedding(there ain't none),and appeared to be never shot when I got it. Very plain,straight grained walnut stock. Absolute death ray on small game.

I got a Winchester rifle at auction that came in a Remington 541-s box. It included the owner's manual and registration papers. If anyone with a 541-s wants this let me know. Be happy to send it your way free if you cover the shipping. Hate to toss it if someone is interested

I thought that the Henry would be at the top of my list but the Aluminum receiver killed it. I would get a Winchester 94/22 or a 39 Marlin if I wasn't so monetarily changed.Ive been looking for the perfect everything (including .22s) since i got into this sport/hobby lol. I think mine will probably be a bolt gun.
Your little lever with one of gru-bees on it sounds about as close to a perfect .22 leverfun as i can imagine tho.
Friend of mine has a henry lever 22 and ive been very impressed with that gun.
Those Henrys will go thousands and thousands and thousands of rounds and be much easier/handy along the way!I thought that the Henry would be at the top of my list but the Aluminum receiver killed it. I would get a Winchester 94/22 or a 39 Marlin if I wasn't so monetarily changed.
Aluminum receiver never seemed to kill a 10/22...but I like steel better too.Aluminum receiver killed it.
I just bought one, but haven't had the time to play with because of deer season. Life is too complicated.I just bought a Bergara BXR from a buddy of mine. It ain’t perfect, but it’s close enough for me.
