Rifles that can shoot 22 short and LR's??

[MachIVshooter]

Most guns that will fire S, L & LR will suffer some feeding jams with shorts. Nature of the beast. I have a Marlin 39, Marlin 81g and Remington 552. All will fire shorts, all will occasionally jam when using shorts.

The only gun I have that cycles shorts flawlessly is a Remington model 24 that is specifically chambered for shorts. ANd a wonderful little squirrel killer it is.

Rifle that will shoot .22 short,long and long rifle interchangably

I have an old Winchester model 190 semiautomatic that will shoot any mixture of short,long and long rifle.

I have never loaded or tried to load my Rem 541-S or -T magazines with shorts or longs

They will feed shorts just fine

Oddly enough, I bought my son a Savage Cub last year and the manual said that any .22 ammo could be used. I was in a shop a month or so later and noticed that they had the same rifle that had a barrel stamp stating ".22Long Rifle only." I asked the shop owner about it and he was at a loss to explain the reasoning for it.

This thread is a great place to discuss pump action .22s. Indeed, the pumps that have been discussed here will fire those cartridges just fine. As a sad historical note, Remington is the last American firearms manufacturer to offer a pump .22. Still, these guns are great fun for accurate plinking. In fact, the first firearm I shot was an antique Winchester Model 06. It was a great little shooter.

Pretty sure Henry is a US company tim.

I stand corrected on the Henry pump. Let me rephrase myself and say that Remington makes one of the finest American pumps on the market today. Actually, both the Remmy pump and their 552 semi-auto are heralds from a past era, although I am they are still in production.

On the Henry pump, I had one and like an idiot, I sold it in a money crunch - it was very accurate and fed everything except Aguila Colibris. Now they don't appear to still make the model I had, the 18.5" regular/round bbl - so shoulda kept it.
