I don't think about all the 22's I've got. I think about all the 22's I don't have.

Marlin 39a Lever action
Ruger 10/22 Wally World Special
Stevens Model 65 Bolt Action
Ruger MK III, 22/45 4" bull barrel, BSA red dot
Ruger MK II, 4" standard, NRA editon
Ruger Single Six 50th anniversary
Bersa Firestorm 22

Over the years I've had a few others.
Marlin M-1
Squires Bingham K-mart 22 semi. Don't remember the model number.
Couple other standard Rugers semi's
Dan Wesson 22 on a 38 frame. :banghead:
Colt New Frontier Peacemaker 22. :banghead: :banghead:

22's we want. (the wife and I)
another Wally World 10/22
another Ruger Single Six
Ruger Bearcat (2)
Ruger 77/22
Henry Yellowboy
Browning Buckmark

(At least.)
 
I think you need additional poll options for 2 -5, 6-10, 11+. With some of the guys on the board you may need 20+.:D

Anyway, I've got five, one inherited:
Remington 511
Ruger 10/22
Remington 552
Romanian M69
Ruger 22/45

Hmmm, I just noticed, all my .22's seem to start with R. Obviously I need a Buckmark or a Marlin to break this trend.

Brian,
Check Numrich, they have a list for your 14 1/2, http://www.e-gunparts.com/products.asp?chrMasterModel=089Zz14%201/2%20LITTLE%20SCOUT&MC=
They might have specifically what you need.
Good luck,
RT
 
.22 Firearms

Stevens/Springfield Model 15 inherited from my grandfather. It's the rifle I learned to shoot with.
Remington 552 Speedmaster
Browning Buckmark Camper.
 
But of course.

Ruger 22/45 5.5" bull barrel, blue.
Taurus 94 4" blue
Ruger 10/22

The 10/22 is bone-stock. I have a list for tricking it out eventually. The 22/45 is just the nicest little pistol. The Taurus 94 is a reliable little .22 revolver. I don't shoot the Taurus very often and have considered selling it for that reason.
 
Third generation family hand-me-down Savage .22 bolt rifle
Marvel conversion upper for 1911
 
Browning BL-22. I have owned a number of other ones, but I'm always trading guns and don't have any others right now.
I'd really like to get another Buck Mark Pistol and a Ruger Single Six. Those are the two I miss the most.

Ruger mod 77-22, 10-22, 96-22, mk-I

Springfield Mod 49 (2 of em)

Henry Mod. 001 and an AR-7

High Standard Double Nine Longhorn

Remington Nylons, Mods 66, 76, 10, 11, 12, and 77 (over a dozen total)

Ithaca Mod. 49

Rossi/Interarms pump, Mod 61

NAA Mini - Black Widow

I think that's all of them... but I could have missed a half dozen or so...
 
Ruger 22/45 MkIII. I was convinced to buy it as a starter gun. It's cheap to shoot and great place to start new people. I'm very happy with it.
 
I have on hand:
Ruger Std Mod. 6",
H & R 622, 2 1/2",
CBC Mod 122 bolt action (Remington clone)

And want to get a NAA mini (I'm interested in the long barreled ones) and another Ruger 10/22 for the one I sold years ago.
 
Here is my list of .22s

  • Ruger 10/22 T
  • Ruger 10/22
  • Ruger 10/22 with all the fancy aftermarket parts
  • Phoenix Arms HP22
  • Ruger MK1 4 digit serial #
  • Ruger 22/45
 
A fair number of folks I have run across who are casual gunowners/ shooters, are of the opinion that a ".22lr is not a REAL GUN." Whatever that means, so they either dont own one, "cause it aint as powerful as a Foty (.40 S&W) the only caliber a real man would:confused: own."

Or they cant justify spending over $150-$200 on a gun that is "only a .22lr".
They will also tell you that a .17 HMR is worthless cause the wind pushes it all over, and you cant hunt deer with it.:banghead:

Personally I like my .22's and own several in both rifle and pistol, in fact two of my most expensive firearms are .22lrs.

The .22lr is the round of international competition, its fun and cheap to shoot. I never go to the range, and I go twice a week, without one. Its excellent for practicing the basics of marksmanship. One of the clubs I belong to has a dedicated rimfire range with 12 lanes and permanantly set up metal plates and silouhettes.

I also love the .17 HMR it is an unbelievable target round, at 100 yards I shoot at nickle sized targets and pretty much hit them everytime. No wind drift is apparent at 100 yards with this round to me. Its great to shoot before or after a session of shooting .308 or .223 and its dirt cheap to shoot considering that all of the ammunition is basically match grade ammo.

I love my .22s and my .17 hmr.
