In August of 2019, I had back and neck surgery. While I was recovering, I was supposed to walk. I didn’t like walking around the block or on the track at a local park. I got bored just walking, like that. I started taking a rimfire handgun or rifle, and walking on roads and trails on some property we had bought. We have since built a house on it. I enjoyed walking and shooting the rimfire, whatever, I had with me. I owned a few rimfires, but nothing like I have now. I could not shot a hard recoiling gun, and still can’t shot but a few rounds. I got really interested in rimfire handguns and rifles, and started buying some. I got to noticing how really well made some of the old model rimfires were made. Back in the day, a rimfire was not just a truck gun. Manufacturers took pride in their rimfires. Some are just a joy to own and shoot. My latest is the Colt 3rd series Match Target Woodsman. It is a little gem. Now days, it seems, the manufacturers are trying to make The cheapest, whatever, that will shoot. Below is some of what I have picked up over the last few years. I am on the lookout now, for a Remington 513S or a 541S. I need something from Remington in the mix. It is just neat to see how well made and finished, these old rimfires are built.
