Here's one I don't have anymore. It's a Mossberg 51m. Most finicky rifle I've ever owned, and ultimately why I sold her.

Wow, beautiful!
My Daughter has one too and its only really reliable for the first 200 rounds between cleanings, lol.

That sounds about right. Mine was real ammo particular too. Lots of double feeds.
It was a beautiful gun though. The previous owner had refinished the stock.
I kind of wish I kept it, but it was a time in my life when I was poor and could not afford to keep more than one 22 rifle. And I needed a reliable one. I think I bought a Ruger 10/22 after that.

I tried to switch her onto different .22s several times , including a 10/22, but she kept asking for the Mossberg back- so I keep cleaning it.

Well, to each their own!
Mine was exceptionally accurate, if you could get it to shoot.
I actually have since sold my 10/22 and gotten a Thompson Center TCR/22. It's everything a Ruger 10/22 should be and more, imo.

Hers is a vintage Plinkster, they use the same action, but the stock is actually faux wood made of a type of laminated foam. Also very accurate- when it runs right, lol. That tiny ejection port sure doesn't help with clearing jams!
I also have a beautiful 46M bolt gun that uses the full military type stock. Also very accurate and much less cantankerous.

That 46m is beautiful! I bet it's a dream to shoot!

The rear sights aren't the greatest- they have multiple blades, inlcuding a peep, but the aperture is tiny and difficult to use so far from the eye. Someday Ill pony up for the correct rear peep sight assembly and unlock its true potential.

I just saw a couple Sp101's listed at my LGS for $275/ea
They both needed a lil TLC. They looked a lil discolored and some mild pitting, like they were stored some damp place but would have been easy enough to clean up. They were listed for a total of about 30 mins before being marked "sold". There was a .22lr and a .38spl. I would have bought them both happily

That is superb. That Marlin scope looks like it was made for Marlin by the former Wollensak Optical Co. of Rochester NY. They made a lot of stuff on contract for other companies and I have a 1930's Savage 23D .22 Hornet with the Wollensak 4x scope that I was told got mounted on it when the gun was new, ( I'm the 3rd owner of it). Looks identical to yours except this one is branded as a Wollensak...

.. Nice old scopes, for that era.

Hers an '06 Winchester my buddy found in his FILs attic. No one in the family has any idea how long it was up there, but it was rusted shut when I got it and the tube was loaded with green sludgy things that were probably cartridges at some point-
-after about 8 hours of scrubbing, sanding, filing, bluing, and buffing. Ready for reassembly....
It actually cleaned up pretty nice and will hit a tin can at 20 paces now.

My 10/22 Light Varmint Target.
Always wanted a 10/22, and when me old Glenfield 60 finally gave up the ghost after several thousands of rounds over about 50 yrs, I decided it was time for am upgrade. I got a Marlin 882 22WMR somewhere behind one of these steel doors. That's a nice rifle, too

CZ 455, .17 HMR with Free-Floated, Heavy, Fluted barrel, glass bedded action. Kinda pretty, and VERY Accurate! It's been a while, but this rifle started life as a .22 WMR, but I bought an after-market .17 HMR barrel for her, and she really loves it. So do I!
(Since the photo, she wears a 3-9X Leupold VX2...and LOVES IT!)

First rifle I bought when I turned 18: a Ruger 10/22 with a Weaver K 2.5 scope I mounted on it.
Same rifle with a Butler Creek folding stock:
