Back from the gun show today, and I did not pick up a Ruger 10/22. Pickins were kind of slim. I did find some good buys on knives though. Picked up 3 old high carbon blades with antler handles. They need some work. Also picked up some knife blanks and handle pieces. Guess I've got yet but another project to keep me busy.
The best 22 I thank i have ever shoot was a Rimington speed master. It's never jamed and holds minute of squirrel accuracy.
I have a ruger .22 semi automatic. 50 shots as fast as you can shoot. 3 to 9 power rifle scope will hit a gopher at 100+ yards. I also have an old cooey. Notice that hasn't been mentioned. The rifeling has been dirtied with lead, cleaned with lead and then used with lead. It is older than I am and I can hit a gopher head at 50+ every once in a while.
I like the kimberly .22 with hunter silohette(SP?), But I dont own it. I honestly don't have any guns. Dam city parents. But I'll probably get my next favorite for .22 and fav. for all other guns. Ruger!!!
But dam shooting that kimberly was fun until we blew through 1k ammo.

An old automatic browning. (I am not 100% it is a browning, the one I am talking about, I just believe it is) 22 shots, can kill anything up to about 100 yards. (Any small game, anyway)
Marlin Lever and Ruger Single Six both fun guns to shoot .

Yeah, my favorite is the Ruger 10/22 too. I've had mine now for about 4 years now, and I just got a new stock on it. It's a Dragunov stlye stock, glass filled nylon. I like it a lot better than the woods stock because it doesn't get dinged, and it's lighter. Plus I can put a sling on this stock. I also got a williams peep site for it, and it's deadly accurate now. I tried to get a 25 round clip for it, but NY wouldn't have that. They sent a note saying it was illegal. That stunk.

10/22 or Browning Buckmark. I have a real problem with the design of the 10/22 mag. That said I own several 10/22's and dozens of mags. I have had to label what aftermarket mags run in what gun(s) well. None I've tried run in all of them. I have some real cheap orange 10/22 30rd mags I was given. I tried them in 2 of my guns and no worky. I finally before I threw or gave them away tried them in the latest 10/22 I acquired and they run fine. I have had no problem with the factory 10/22 mags as long as they are cleaned between trips to the range just like the gun. Before another ban comes in I need to pick up one of the Butler Creek SS sidefolders for my stainless one. That way it will be grandfathered.
Clean the mags between each trip? I've never cleaned my mags and I've had the gun close to 20 years with 4 - 10 round factory mags. I've never had a problem with a factory mag either. After market mags are hit and miss, though. I have several 25 round and, for my gun at least, if it doesn't have metal lips then I've had feed problems. I don't remember having a problem with any after market mags with metal lips. Each one has its own personality.

I had a 10/22 for many years. It was a great gun and was deadly accurate. I had put a custom trigger group in it. Then I shot a friends BL-22. It was love at first shot.

1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

I guess each trip is an exaggeration but I find every few hundred rounds I do have to clean them. I often go thru a thousand rounds in a range trip though.Originally Posted by Rick
Yikes! There in lies the difference I guess. I might go through 100 if I shoot a LOT. I generally take a few different weapons with me and spend some time on each one.

first would be a remington field master that is passed down through 3 generations- very accurate and shoots short long and long rifle.
then browning buckmark rifle with carbon barrel and browning buck mark pistol. interchangable magazines and function great.

It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze !
Only 1 favorite??? That doesn't seem fair, but here goes.
I have a Springfield M6, Marlin Papoose, 2-10/22's and a Ruger Mk3, but probably my favorite is my stainless 10/22 with a Butler Creek folding stock, heat shield and a 4x scope, damn accurate out to 50 yards and very cool looking.
However, the one I shoot the most is my 10/22 that I have set up like my big bore rifles to cut down on ammo costs, peep sights, a sling as well as better aftermarket controls.

Remington 597 - keep it clean and it will be one of the cheapest under-rated .22 around
i like the winchester wildcat its a bolt action actually a relatively new rifle (2006 i think) its got amazing accuracy and has the familiar feel of older bolt action centerfire hunting rifles , its a lil on the heavy side though...
