Who here has a single shot bolt action 22?

I have a colt 22 lr. Very accurate.

Right after Pearl Harbor, my aunt (father's sister, then age 21) decided she had better learn to shoot. So she bought a Savage 3 C single shot bolt action, and joined the NRA.

She joined the Red Cross, and served in Italy where she was picked up by the Partsans while driving a captured Kuebelwagen and wearing her feldgrau Red Cross uniform- looks very German. All she could do was babble "No Tedeschi!" while offering them coffee and donuts.

That Savage 3C passed in turn to my older brothers, then to me. I still remember the first time my father took me out shooting tin cans with it. Sadly, I no longer have it: it was stolen years ago.

I have an old Remington TargetMaster that will shoot rings around the semi autos made today.

Packman, How do you get the year of production for a Remington Target Master mine has no ser. number??

I grew up shooting a Remington Target Master, I think it was a model 52. And that sure brings back fond memories. I agree about the accuracy.

The old .22s were not required to have serial numbers.

I have a old winchester model 68, my great grandfather found it during the great depression.

Rem 33 for me.

Grandfather - Father - Me.

You could fill a warehouse with the rabbits that rifle has put down. It was my first rifle when I was a boy , every cent I had went for .22 shells.

Probably worth $20 , but it's the most valuable rifle I own.

I have an old Walther sport model that I love.I bought it off Auction Arms and a couple of bubba's had there way with it so it was cheap!Barrel was cut down unevenly but at least they left enough to square it up,once trued up and crowned it became the best shooter I have.Stock is the next project,it was cut down to kid size and then a shotgun butt pad was added.They floated the barrel with a 4 inch grinder by the looks.Who ever drilled it for scope mounts must have done it with a hand drill by eye between there knees but a Bushnell 4-12x50 has just enough adjustment to cover that. It is one of the sadist looking guns I have ever seen but love it!

Single Shot Rifles

I have a Remington model 514 single shot rifle. I used to shoot pennies off a wood pile at about 35 yards with it. Couldn't tell you how many hundreds of magpies and jack rabbits I shot with it when I was a kid. Deadly accurate. I still take it out once in a while. Real fun to shoot.

savage model 3 here

I got one.

My uncle Steve was killed when I was two years old. Several years later (and many years ago) I was given it by by Grandpa. Remington 580, I was able to pick up a forty year old Weaver scope with integral mount, "period correct", I guess you'd say.

I have a colt 22 lr. Very accurate.

I also have an old Colt single shot. It's 22 mag though. Shot a lot of woodchucks with that

If you are talking about the model 41 Target Master, the serial number is stamped in the bottom of the barrel just forward of the front of the stock. Also there are several letters stamped in the left side of the barrel about an inch and a half forward of the loading port, these are the 'barrel code'. Go to the Remington website and look up the barrel code in the chart.

The Remington 41 is all one piece, barrel and receiver, very rigid, makes it real hard to adjust head space though.

Christmas 1957. Age fourteen. Received a Winchester Model 67 from my parents. Still ranks as the best present I've ever gotten. You better believe I still have it! Some Christmas in the not too distant future, a lucky grandson will be getting a Winchester .22 for Christmas. I only have one so the less lucky grandson will have to settle for my Marlin 39.

Mossberg model 320B (boy scout model) Sets the safety each time you cycle the bolt to extract the spent cartridge. Brilliant !

Daisy Legacy 2201. Don't see many of these any more.

Even better, 6mm Flobert!

On semi-permanent loan from my friend, though maybe I'll offer to buy it outright from him or seek out my own:

A Winchester Model 67A and a Winchester single shot semi auto that
I don't recall the model (Maybe 65). Loads though a spring loaded grooved
drop (looks like the loading gate on lever action, but this is on the top of
the recevier. Load a 22 through it into the chamber. A side knob at the
upper right side cocks the action. When fired, the empty case drops out
the bottom, cocks the action. Load another round and squeeze the trigger.
Neat annd fast operation once you get the hang of it. Didn't make it too
many years, and I have only seen one other besides my own

.22 Chipmunk. First gun. Sit's in my safe for the day I get to pass it down

I've owned about a dozen over the years. The one I cherish is the Winchester M-60 that belonged to my father and which he taught my brother and I to shoot and hunt with.

Presently, I also own a Chipmunk, a Springfield M-6, and a Savage Cub. The Chipmunk is a replacement for the one I gave my niece and her husband to teach their daughters with. The Savage does like duty teaching young'uns the basics.

Winchester 52D, Remington 40X

Both from CMP, North Store.

Super shooters, but a little heavy to lug around.

I have my Grandpa's first gun, a Stevens 15A. It means a lot to me!

Anschutz 1450, Made in West-Germany, Very accurate 22LR rifle.

Another Remington 514 here. Got mine for Christmas in 1953. I was 11, Spent many happy hours wandering the Southern Idaho desert with that gun. Now my grandson shows just how accurate that little rifle can be. Wish I had several of them, since who gets it when I go is a dilemma.
