Whatever it iss, it "HAS" to be blue steel (or aluminum) and walnut (or some kind of wood). And it should be a 22.
For a pistol, make it a revolver. A Ruger Single-Six, Bearcat, or maybe a Colt. Yea, Yea...they're slow to load and unload. Big deal. You in a hurry to shoot up your ammo and go home to watch "Top Shots" or something?
Now for a rifle I'm going to reach back into my past. When I was a kid I used to see this little 22 rifle at Sears, and spent HOURS staring at it's picture in the Sears "Wish Book." Man I wanted that gun, but my mother was scared to death of a rifle. She just knew if you shot a rifle into the ground, it would kill some guy in China. Shotguns were ok, but no rifles.
So what was this rifle I wanted so bad? An Ithaca 49, single shot lever action 22. It looks just like a "western rifle" and man if I'd had one of those I promise you all the rustlin' in Hanover County, Virginia in the 60's (1960's that is) would have STOPPED. Yes-sir-ree-bob...I tell you.
A couple of years ago I found one and snatched it up. Didn't even haggle over the price. And it has quickly become my favorite 22 rifle. And I assure you, it is just a hoot to shoot.
And yes, it's a single shot. The magazine tube is fake, the lever opens the falling bloc action allowing single loading (S,L,LR), and kicks out the empties with a satisfying "blipink." This gun is more fun to just walk around in the woods with than you can shake a stick at.
Both cheap (~100-150 bucks on gunbroker) and made in America (but not anymore) it fills your bill perfectly.
