Well so far it's just the Mossberg 351CB, which I love to pieces and I'll never, ever, ever get rid of, and the Romy M1969.

Of course, on the short list this spring, after the Mini 14/20 and Mini 30/20, are (In no particular order) a Henry Golden Boy .22 Mag, a Henry Pump-Action .22lr, two consecutive numbered Single Six convertibles, and probably a 10/22 to round it out.

Then I just have to get some more "Big" .22's, like a Colt 6920 and build up a clone Mk.12 SPR. :evil:
 
Right now:

Ruger 10/22
Marlin 60

I'm hunting Ruger 22/45's and Buckmarks at the moment.....
 
I have 3 in a .22 caliber :)

My first ever gun purchase on my own: my Marlin 882 Stainless chambered in .22wmr, I LOVE that rifle! Sorry no pics, But i did see A savage that was almost Identical (didnt savage make marlin, or vice versa?)

I was also given a 1965 Remington Model 513-T "Matchmaster", have not fired it yet, it is in Excellent condition for the age:

And also given a .22lr 2.5"diamondback. But this little gem has been reblued. So a range weapon it will be:

Hi,..my name is Thunder173,....and I also have a problem.
I try to control it,...but those little 22 rounds are just sooooo cute I can't help myself......
I only have 10 of them by last count.
I didn't realize the problem was this extensive until just now.
I feel so ashamed. :)
 
I fell into to a burning ring of rim-fire

Not me..............I'm totally out of control and I just don't care.

I am standing in your corner. Completely OC.

My long-term addiction forced me to buy a GSG-5 SD this year, so of course that justified a need for bricks of additional ammo.
 
I have the horrible itch to buy another gun, and hope I get a .22 as that is all I should buy until I get back to work.

Here are a few more .22 to add to this post.

Savage model 64
Savage Mark II in stainless
remington 550 (circa 1947)
Henry Lever Action .22 (wife took this one over)
S&W 22a
Ruger Single Six in stainless (first gun)

I really want an AR15 in .22, the GSG AK47, and a Taurus 94 snubby :D

I give up

You got me red handed

here are some more symptoms

you shoot 500 rounds with a smile on your face,

everybody complains when they walk in your gun room barefoot because of all the 22 shells on your floor,

when you walk in the ammo center and the guy behind the counter starts hiding 22 ammo,

your go to gun is a 22,

you mark your trails with empty 22 shells,

you pull your clothes out of the washer and find 22 shells at the bottom,

you hear 525 and instantly think of 22 ammo.

if you have any of these symptoms contact me immediately and I will relieve you of all 22's and ammo :D
 
Now I know how an alcoholic would feel if every empty bottle of booze he consumed was stacked around him. I have Rugers, Mossbergs, Remingtons, Hi Standards, S&W's H&R's in various shapes, sizes and forms all around me. Geeze..........the shame of it all! The love of 22'S is indeed, a sickness.

My problem is less severe, but the symptoms are there.

CZ Kadet Conversion on my 75B.
Ruger Single Six (the mag cylinder is really cool, too)
Marlin 60.
Smith & Wesson M&P 15 in .22 LR

For good measure, I have a Savage rifle in .22 WMR. A fine, fine rifle.
 
Some ancient pump action remington that belonged to my dad
Marlin Model 60SS
Walther P22 5"
Ruger mark II
Heratige rough riger .22/.22mag



plinking is where its at.

My fall to addiction was swift. One day I was like you...............just a few .22s. Really only the ones that I really needed. Then one day I found myself hanging around used gun stores. I would kid myself that I was just going in to visit with friends. Then the next thing I knew I had to get another safe. It was a rocky road down from there. :D

(I think )Its a ruger 10/22 international but I think there's something else like ss or duluxe for the laminate stock.
 
It is indeed a 10/22 international. The SS barrel and laminate stock mark it as a "Wally World Special", sold through Wal-Mart in the mid 80's to mid 90's I believe. I remember seeing them when the first Wal-Marts opened up around here. I wish I had gotten one then but 10/22's didn't interest me in those days..

They are highly prized by 10/22 fans. They're not rare but maybe "scarce" would be the word. You can find out more at RimfireCentral.com or RugerForum.com.

You can check the S/N here for a date of manufacture.

thnx guys. it was given to me as a gift like around the late 90's i believe brand new. this is probably one of my favorite rifles to shoot. i like the vintage look. my dad had to have one too so he bought one about a year ago just like mine and got a killer deal for it. i think like $250. they are going for a lot more from what he said. i want to get mine from him and put a nice scope on it. how is this rifle for accuracy? i've probably shot about 1000 rounds through it since i got it but it was always just plinking away. i'm getting serious into guns now and want to add it to my one gun collection lol. My next rifle is going to be a springfield m1a m21. i ****ing love that rifle. just gotta convince the wife with an excuse to buy a $2500, a $1000 scope, and any extras like the 20 rnd mags. lol. anyway, back to .22's. lol. i'm getting a high jsut from looking at guns for the last 2 hours.
 
They're as accurate as any 10/22. That's sort of vague, but the 10/22 isn't noted for being a real precision tack driver or anything. They're a good plinker/squirrel gun though. I wouldn't do anything to that one except maybe have the trigger worked.
