    Rimfire rifles

    I recently developed a fondness for .22 lr rifles and carbines. Accurate, light (well most of the time), cheap to shoot, easy to work on.

    Here’s my lot

    Ruger 10/22 shorty, made in 1992. Bought it at an auction some years back, came with a Parker Hale silencer







    AMT Small Game Hunter II bought recently. It has a nice heavy barrel and stainless steel receiver. Trigger is great too, similar to the next one here under





    10/22 target hammer forged barrel made in 1997, just brought it home, haven’t shot it yet





    Savage Mk II bought new last year. I don’t buy many new firearms, but I picked it up at the LGS while buying something else. In Switzerland bolt rifles do not need a license, most other guns do. It’s also threaded and super quiet with the silencer and subsonic ammo.





    A French Unique X51 from 1965. This was a very popular rifle in France, sold by department stores on catalogue. It’s a nice light and accurate rifle. The scope is a German WWII unit.







    Another antique from the 50ies, a pump action FN Browning Trombone

    Nice line up. I went on a .22 binge a few years back. And I was just telling a friend that I have to start taking them to the ranch and shoot more often.
    I bought a nice Savage too, sucker came threaded bull barrel, fat bolt, put an aftermarket stock...Got a nice Anschutz .22 as well. 10/22's

    Nice photos. Work on the lighting a bit and use that for Christmas cards next year. "Christmas .22", oh I'm terrible. I've got no kids, how can I make dad jokes? Anyway, I always love your "family" pics.

    I've got my marlin 60 from when I was 8, the obligatory 10/22, a .22 AR upper, and I'm working on picking up a bolt gun cause ... reasons.

    Nice collection!
    I bought a 10/22 15 years or so ago, and always wanted to buy a second one or a charger, but never got to it. Still on my list though.

    22’s, seems you can never have too many. I am divesting of a few right now, passed on one I got from my dad to my nephew, and gave a spare 10/22 away to the son-in-law. I know they will get used. I know the son in law and his boys from his first marriage are shooting the crap out of the 10/22. Cheaper than the big calibers, and lots of fun. I still have too many, but I don’t mind that, to be honest.

    I really like that shorty.
    I think you need a lever action 22lr. My Henry H001 might be my funnest gun to shoot nowadays.
