.22 rifles I have known - Show us yours!
      #248326 - 02/06/14 11:05 AM

Whether for hunting or just plinking at targets ...

For me, .22 l.r. rifles return me to my roots of shooting, as it probably does for a lot of folks here.

I started out learning about firearms safety and marksmanship on a single shot .22, specifically my Dad's old Remington 510 TargetMaster. He got it for his 12th birthday in 1941.

Using the factory buckhorn sights he shot it for 20+ years, killing a huge number of squirrels, rabbits, possums, racoons, et al, but sometime after I came along he scoped it. Today it wears a different scope, but it's still super accurate with ammo it likes and it likes a fairly wide range at that.

I later acquired a Rem. 514 (also a single-shot) to which I had my 'smith fix a receiver-mounted aperture. This thing has a great trigger, and with the aperture, it's about as accurate as Dad's scoped 510, at least out to as far as I can see a target and hold. It's presently serving as a "trainer" for a 12yr old great-nephew.

My .22 l.r. family:

L-to-R:
Rem. 510; Rem. 514; Ruger All-Weather 77/22; CZ Scout; CZ 453 (foreground)

That 453 in the foreground - which variant is it?
Is the barrel profile and bolt handle as-shipped from CZ?

Good thread! I'll bust out my 4 soon (Well, i bought one for dad for fathers day, so i've 3..)

Am planning to have a safe with just .22lr rifles. At the moment i've got a Slazenger model 12, a Norinco JW15, Krico something or another, and a Winchester 320


To go on the list of wants: Stevens Favourite, Winchester 1906 pump, a lever of some make, small frame martini (with a slim foreend, not a target rifle), a flobert, and a rolling block (not the favourite though) Oh! And a mini sharps would be nice.

My grandfather had one of those--great little gun..did a fair amount of shooting with one as a kid..this model was actually listed as one of the all time greats for a classic .22 rimfire..

Tinker: the addition of the "tactical" bolt knob was a custom job by a local smith. If I recall correctly, the knob itself is a Badger Ordinance item that I got thru Brownells way back when, and just had it laying around for this project. Yes, it gets noticed A LOT at the range.

This 453 has what I'd call a medium heavy barrel. It's significantly thinner than what I'm seeing on the 455s coming into the LGSs lately.

When I purchased this 453, it was my intention to make it into a cheap-shooting .22 analog to my precision .308 Remington PPS. Along with the bolt knob, the local 'smith also channeled out the foreend of the stock so as to keep the barrel free-floated. Then I set it up with a 3-12x scope, bipod, stock pack, sling, etc. The 1" Osprey scope actually has a dual illumination feature that let's you choose either red or green for lighting-up the mil-dot reticle.

Though discontinued now, the 453 was essentially a 452 with a set trigger and much nicer wood. The wood on this one is really well-grained, so maybe I lucked out (the pics don't do it justice).

A screw inside the trigger guard controls the pull of the set trigger, and I've got mine set pretty light - again to mimick the sweet let-off of the Jewel trigger on my .308 precision rig.

Don't have a pic of the target to show you, but from 50yds using the set-trigger I put 6-shots into something like .400" - basically a small ragged hole. Admittedly, this was done off a bench, using the bipod with a bag under the rear of the stock, but the amazing thing was, the ammo was ordinary Winchester fodder (36gn HPs, I think), not the super-grade Match stuff, like from Eley.

The 453s just flat out shoot, but so do most CZ .22s.

BSA Martini No.6 take down, Parker-Hale tang sight, Lyman front sight, “Sornet” (Schmidt & Bender) 2 3/4x scope.

Early, still “tgf” marked Brno mod.1. Scope 2 3/4x Geco , copy of Zeiss Zielklein once made by Schmidt & Bender for the trade. Not as nice as the one reworked by DORLEAC

A mix up of parts: long time ago bought the crudely restocked barreled action of a Mauser Es 340 for DM 60.-, about US$ 40.-. Some years later found the stock only of a rare Es 350 “Meisterschaftsbüchse” at a gunshow, Euro 40.- = $ 55.-. The action fits the inletting perfectly, the slightly too wide barrel channel took a bit of glass bedding. Scoped with an early Gerard “G” 4x, 7/8” tube scope.

I`m not showing my old Krico among such exalted company.
Its scratched and dented,wears a nondescript scope without a brand on it (yes) has a trigger that creeps what seems like an inch but puts them all into a fingernail @ 50.
I love the old girl and you wouldnt fit the rabbits she has rolled into the bed of a big Chevy truck.
In just two winters alone she took around 4000 rabbits in drive and spotlight shooting around the farms.Ah the good days before the Calici virus was released in Australia, or before it was effective.Iits actually good for the environment but the up and coming young fellas will never see the rabbit numbers again.
They gave just about every kid in Australia an incredible amount of learning to shoot/hunt/stalk and every kid and adult had an ordinary .22.

4000 !! Jezz, those were the days, you never see rabbit numbers like that in the UK or Spain now, every 5 or 6 years they come back for a year or two then a new variant of myxxy kills them all off, shame really, best

My favorite 22LR hunting rifle. CZ 452FS.
1/2" 10 shot groups all day long with bulk pack Winchester 36HP's. .400" groups with subsonic match ammo.
Squirrels hate this rifle!

I love rifles with the mannlicher stocks...had a Ruger years ago in .270..didn't shoot very well , but loved how it handled and looked...that is a really nice looking rifle--congrats

Thanks Ripp!
I too like the looks and feel of mannlicher stocked rifles.
This one was made in 2003.
The wood is evenly figured on both sides.
The scope is a Weaver 4x28 rimfire scope with the parrallex set at 50 yards.
I have never had a problem with any zero shift or accuracy problems with rifle.
I'm still on the hunt for a CZ 550FS in 6.5x55.

Here is a Browning with an unusual maple stock. Still hasn't been fired yet. It looked so sweet that I decided not to explore my feminine side but to give it to my daughter instead. The figure goes all the way around, is visible on both sides, and shows in the forend as well. My photos are too poor to see the action engraving.

Anschutz certainly should be there, lovely .22s. Ref the quote on a hot used cartridge from the browning down your sleeve, try down your shorts !! Happened to me here in Spain one summer, the shell went down the front of my shirt and hit the top of the waistband of my shorts. Immediate reaction, pull waistband out yo get rid of said shell, shell then dropped down into the crown jewels but luckily was by then cool enough not to brand me. The policeman practicing with his 9mm was laughing a lot though !

Igorrock, indeed a Zephyr deserves to be shown.

I'd be glad to post pictures of a Zephyr, but Photobucket and hunter101 are too frustrating, force advertising on a user (it eats up my limited monthly GBs), have to join yet another place, for a basic laptop user. So I'll just be an observer sitting up in the cheap seats, merely a reader, or maybe now and then making a written reply.

Yes, I'm involved with a couple of other Forums, but with different themes than found here (the one here is great), but they've a less complicated way to post pictures. NOT trying to be negative here. I do like the information and folks in the Forum here, k.

Well I'll be et fer a tater....it works!
Seems easier than trying to muddle through the other two places.
Looks like can still teach an old dawg a new trick - patience huh!
thank you very much
--------------------------------------------------------------

Steyr Zephyr .22 LR, 1962, 19.5" barrel, DST's, Hensoldt/Wetzlar 2 1/2x scope, German #1 reticle (most likely this scope was manufactured by Carl Zeiss, as I have a twin to it that is marked Carl Zeiss), Hensoldt scope rings/mount, and this is not a Stoeger import marked carbine. Made from 1955 - 1971. Wonderfully accurate, able to hit empty .40 S&W brass cases out past 40 yards!

Stevens 'Favorite', .22 LR, has a Numrich Arms replacement barrel, Weaver 2 1/2x, 3/4" diameter scope.

Note the scope mounting, which keeps the scope low over the bore.

It's the other way around. Post-war "Zeiss" west Germany scopes are actually made at the Hensoldt factory to Hensoldt's designs. Since about 1930 Hensoldt in Wetzlar was a subsidiary of Carl Zeiss, Jena. After 1945 Jena was in east Germany, GDR, and the original Zeiss factory was under communist control. Those parts of the Zeiss combine in western Germany were reorganized as "Carl Zeiss (West)". Zeiss west continued producing scopes and binoculars of Hensoldt designs (Dialytan, Diasta, Diatal. Diavari, Diapi etc.)at the Hensoldt, Wetzlar factory and sold them under the established Hensoldt name. About 1970 Zeiss West renamed the Hensoldt made line, selling them under the "Zeiss" label from then on. So the "made in West Germany" Zeiss scopes are really "Hensoldt" ones.

Know what you mean, Daryl.

Even the least accurate of my .22s, a Ruger All-Weather 77-22 (got it back in '92 or '93), can still do the job and there's no fancy wood to worry about scuffing up.

Took this critter 3 weeks ago in the Veld I call my Back-Fortay ... I used a special "Coon-stopper" load.

44.8lbs of racoon.


Aguila's subsonic "sniper" load - 60gns of round-nosed lead stuffed into a .22 Short case.



Compared with most.22 fodder out there, it's accuracy is marginal.
But the shot was under 40yds, and that distance the subsonic slug will stay within "minute-of-coon" all day.

.22's certainly run the full spectrum, from the Zephyr to this small sized Crickett, as well as everything in between.

Shown is a Crickett brand .22 LR single shot, 3-7x Barska scope. This one is kept in the kitchen for easy access when a mischievous/destructive tree rat is spotted messing around in the backyard. Primarily use the Aguila .22 LR Super Colibre ammunition - 20 gr bullet, no powder, priming compound is the power source, about 550 fps. Adequately accurate out to 60 yards. The 20 gr pellet/bullet works well.

This is the .22 I used to shoot myself into Master class in Outdoor Position shooting. Like all of my other .22 Match rifles it has been passed on to other shooters, now that I am no longer able to compete.

Evidence to support the claim:




Actually I used the light more frequently with the remote switch taped to the stock - I don't have any photos of this arrangement though.

As we are talking about .22 rifles here and already mentioned Hensoldt scopes: About 1960 Hensoldt, Wetzlar, made the smallest “rifle scope” I have seen yet, the DIAPI 1 ½ x 7.5. With a length of 137 mm = 5.4” and a tube diameter of merely 14 mm = .553” it is pen sized only.

Here it is mounted on my old Mauser single shot

This tiny precision instrument was designed as a rule breaker, a “non-scope” that is. The then rules of the DSB, the German Target Shooters Union, prohibited the use of scopes in small bore competition. But elderly shooters were allowed to use “optical aiming aids”, provided these did not exceed specified size and magnification limits and featured a simple post reticle. In short order both Hensoldt and competing Nickel, Marburg designed such tiny scopes that qualified as “optical aiming aids” to make use of the gap in the rules. Of course, soon the rules were changed and the gap allowing such scopes closed. So, after just a few years, there was no reason any more to make these miniature scopes. Now, they are quite rare.
The competing, but longer B.Nickel, Marburg, PICCOLO 1 1/2 x.

I found when I had a torch attached to my scope with a scope ring, that it made the rifle inaccurate. I had trouble hitting rabbits and hares in the head consistently like I used to. One day took the torch off, and suddenly the problem ceased. So then attached it to the barrel. Less of a problem but still affected accuracy. I think the only way is on the stock.

Interesting point, I didn't notice any adverse affects shooting mine this way, but the ranges were close. I'll try and remember to take the torch and clamp to the range next time and see what the effects are from a bench rest.

For example I used to use my .22 Magnum to head shoot fallow deer on my farm. I usually test shoot it before using it. The accuracy was terrible. Sudden change after pulling the bloody torch off the scope.

Daryl, sorry to here that about your back.
My wife and I (my son when he's home) compete in our local schuetzen club's monthly matches. Great fun! 200 yards offhand with a 22LR.
My Ballard with the Unertl 14X scope weighs in at a well balanced 16 pounds. The Martini is quite a bit lighter at 10 pounds as shown in the picture.

Harry Pope always said a Man's rifle (for Scheutzen shooting) should be 16 pounds and a Woman's rifle should be 12 pounds.
Of course, some discretion/leeway could be allowed for stature, strength, etc.

What I find quite interesting is that many men today, in a shooting game that requires ALL offhand shooting, struggle with or say anything 8 pounds or over is too heavy.

I am referring to ML Rifle Rendezvous trail walk, round ball rifle or smootbore shooting - where we up in the North prefer longer, 42" (or better) barreled rifles of 10 to 12 pounds for a superior hold on target. With a flintlock rifle, ie; slow lock time, the heavier the better.

Daryl, heavier is definetly better for a steady hold. I haven't been to a rendezvous in many years but Fathers Day weekend I plan on stopping by the Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin rendezvous and taking a look around.

Mike, the 1913 appearance does take some time to get used to. It helps to think of it as being stocked in "silver maple" with "ebony" accents. Once you shoot it you dont care what it looks like!!

A seldom encountered 1953 Hämmerli free rifle and a vintage 1413 Anschutz made in the eighties.
The Swiss Hämmerli bears the best .22 barrel I have ever seen.
In n°42 1951 Stoeger "Shooter Bible" it was priced 420-$…!

xausa,
Nice looking rifle. Is your action cast or forged?
Mine started life as a #3 gallery rifle around 1883. I aquired it as a relic and used only the action to build the schuetzen rifle.

My brand spanking new CZ 452 Ultra Lux - literally just out of the box from being purchased yesterday - plus the aforesaid Aguila 60gn SSS load, produced this one-shot stop across the Veld I call my backyard.



Hadn't even thought of fidgeting with the sights when I first spotted the bunny nibbling in the back garden. Loaded it quickly, stepped out on the deck, and held spot-on. Mr. Bun was D.R.T.

The Ultra Lux has a 28.6" barrel, but any of these CZs are shooters. My tiny Scout, which is scoped, puts its favorite ammo under an inch @ 50yds. That's about as far as I'd use it on squirrels anyway. Can't wait to see what this UL can do at 100yds w/ the hi-vel stuff.

Ruger All-Weather 77-22 (L); CZ 452 Scout (R).

I would be willing to bet the majority of people on here started shooting as a kid with a bb gun or .22 rimfire.

While in my gun room last night working on one of my rifles I took a glance around in the room and gun safe--think I am currently the owner of around 8-10 22's as we speak..ranging from old Winchester single shots to Ruger 10-22's to an Anshutz or two..to my first one my parents bought me at the age of 10..a "coast to coast" 22 ..not even sure who made it ..by today' standards or probably even then, its pretty crude..but they bought it for me and is still one of my all time favorites as to sentiment..

I just had word that my custom .22 is ready to be shipped to me. I designed it to resemble a classic big bore rifle. It has a modern action, much modified. It will be interesting to see if anyone can recognise the action .

Will post photos in a week or so when she arrives.

Thanks to all for posting photos and details of your .22's...........I've really enjoyed this thread.

Please post them. Looking forward to seeing the outcome of the custom work.

Truthfully, that's why I grabbed the CZ 452 UL while I could.
Except for the hog-back stock, it "sort of" resembles an African big bore.

But with its 28" tube it doesn't look like a .22l.r. either.

Anschutz certainly should be there, lovely .22s. Ref the quote on a hot used cartridge from the browning down your sleeve, try down your shorts !! Happened to me here in Spain one summer, the shell went down the front of my shirt and hit the top of the waistband of my shorts. Immediate reaction, pull waistband out yo get rid of said shell, shell then dropped down into the crown jewels but luckily was by then cool enough not to brand me. The policeman practicing with his 9mm was laughing a lot though !




Semi=-autos are bad that way..have used them quite a bit when we get into a bit patch of gophers..have had them go down my shirt sleeves, front of the shirt or land on your leg if wearing shorts..they really burn..

Yes it is. Make unknown. Inside is alternating steel washers and felt spacers. With subsonics all you can hear is the click of the bolt.

I have to include this rifle here. Not to discourage us mere mortals from adding any of ours in the future, but simply because it is such a wonderful piece of gun art in a practical sense.

Joel's (of Dorleac & Dorleac) creation from a Mauser MS350B action, his personal task and challenge, creating a man sized .22 RF rifle.

My ".22's". Cheating a little as I included my .22 centrefires but used for a lot of the same purposes.

From the top:
- .22 rimfire Anshutz 1450;
- .22 Magnum rimfire CZ 452;
- .222 Rimmed Martini-Cadet;
- .222 Rem Remington 788, my first rifle purchased when I was fifteen;
- .222 Rem Mauser M03 with the .222 barrel installed.



.22 Magnum rimfire CZ 452, and a .22 rimfire Anshutz 1450.



.222 Rimmed Martini-Cadet, .222 Rem Remington 788, and .222 Rem Mauser M03.

Thanks for posting those great pics, Nitro!

Awesome collection, and I like the expression on Blitzen's face as well. It's very ... well, stoic and dignified.

Yes, P94 SAKO would be my choice if I have enough money to buy one. Even a used one costs here 600-800€.

There is a neat little article about this in this months GUNS AND AMMO...tells about how a trick shooter shot 104,000 blocks or something like that only missing six..

Also states how at the factory they shot 75,000 rounds out of one of these without a single failure..impressive little gun..my brother had one when I was a little kid --remember it well..was a very accurate reliable rifle..

Thanks Gentlemen for posting some more. Very nice.

I'm amazed no one corrected me on the "Martini-Henry" above, should be of course "Martini-Cadet". Ha ha, one old blighter corrected me on that immediately elsewhere.

Lancaster

I'd kill a fuzzy wuzzy for a STG44 like that in .22 RF. What a fun rifle it would be. But I think the ammo consumption would be huge. Could not resist shooting off whole magazines at a time.

I assume it is a full size rifle from your comments, not scaled down much. What sort of price do they go for? Not that us peasants in Aust can own one.

Thanks Lancaster. Interesting and a fun toy.

While I do have a licence which could be used to purchase one of these, I would think many obstacles would be put in the way to getting one in. Simply because of the way it looks.

The "normal" firearms licence does not allow one to own semi-auto .22s, and semi-auto shotguns and pump action shotguns in Aust. My licence includes primary production and a justification for a .22 and a shotgun. Centrefires are a whole lot more harder again to get a licence for, and basically to get a licence, one needs to be a professional pest shooter.

I have two 22 rifles. One is an Ansuztch and the other is a CZ. The Ansuztch will out shoot the CZ with match ammo but the CZ will shoot every thing you put through it very well. The Ansuztch is very picky.

Here's my Triple Deuce - 8-32X40 M4200 scope.





Some load testing. Still shooting not too badly after all these years. Using Sierra 52gr. match bullets, Fed brass and 20.0gr. IMR4198, it will make 1/4", 5-shot groups, still.

I’m having a hard time to sleep tonight and was laying thinking about my carrier as a hunter.
That brought me back to my early days as a hunter. I can remember my 6th birthday like it was yesterday. My grandpa gave me a gift that changed a young boy forever.
Ladies and gentlemen… This is that gift. It is my first rifle. Just looking at this tiny 22 brings back memories, lots of memories. Like my first fox, my first capercaillie, my first hare and………..
And, my mother. She almost got heartattacks when I proudly and with a big grin brought my game into her kitchen….

A movie you would not see made today ... "Smiley gets a gun".

Smiley is the bush towns little deliquent ratbag. The local copper makes a deal with Smiley. He has to be a good boy and if he gets noticed for eight good deeds, marked by nicks with an axe on a tree, he will be given a .22 rifle. Every bad deed, and a nick is removed. Things do not go to plan of course and you need to watch the movie for its ending. Of course Smiley ends up being given his own .22 rifle by the local Police Seargeant. No PTA's, no waiting period, no registration, and to a little ratbag kid. Amazing. The world in 1958 before things "improved" and diversified ...

I have the .22 in wanted when I was a lad. A cockie we knew had a Brno and to me it was the sweetest rifle in the world.
12 years ago I. Came across a Brno TRG in wonderful condition and I swapped a Winchester 92 in 32.20 for it. I was stoked by that deal.
I use it on the block to cull rabbits, foxes and white cockatoos and one day I am going to back the bloody feral cat that is hanging around the area.



I do have to get a better scope for it one day! A 2-7x32 rim fire scope is what I have in mind.

I bought this rifle as a .22 LR with heavy match barrel. I changed the barrel to one of .172" groove diameter and re-chambered it to .17HMR.
It'sa 3/8" to 1/2" rifle at 100 meters off bags and routinely killed field rats to 282-284 yards every spring.
These, however were a closer bunch of 8 - no more than 160 to 175yards from my shooting spot.


I still have the .22 bl. of course.

Not about a .22 but I have just heaved a Lister like that into the skip for the scrap man to take. Dad was going to do it up but that never happened and now we cannot find all the bits and after his passing we are having to clear out junk ready to move.

Not sure if I still have that scope of not now need to check.

And now a BSA No2A:-











The two holes are for a BSA bridge fitting aperture sight that was an optional extra. BSA also made a folding version of this for cyclists.

I am resurrecting this old post with aim to present my .22 rimfire rifles, from top to below:

• Anschutz Model 1386 single-shot, manufactured and purchased in 1971, now mounted with a Nickel 1-4x rifle scope; my first good quality rifle when I was a teenager.
• MAS 45 ‘closed season’ or ‘schönzeit’ rifle mounted with a Zeiss Diatal 4x32 on detachable scope mounts; this rifle was presented to me in 1993. I was never able to assess when it was manufactured as the Manufacture d’Armes de Saint Etienne’s (MAS) archives are not available; I assume that production occurred sometime between 1947 (all parts stamped MAS, no reference to Mauser) and the late 50’s or early 60’s when production stopped.
• Brno Model 1, manufactured in 1952, a later acquisition mounted with a Zeiss Diatal 4x32; no visible ‘tgf’ marking.





I use these rifles extensively for shooting training and pest control, mainly magpies and some crows in my area, as there are not much feral cats left roaming around!

Anschutz Model 1386







MAS 45












Brno Model 1

Not taking away from anyone else's .22, but Lancaster's .22
STG 44 22 RF remains the most unusual and IMO desirable. Simply for the fun factor.

Yes- they certainly are. I recently picked up an Anchutz M64 or M65 I think it is. Nice rifle, good figure of fairly straight black lines.
As well, in the Spring, I purchased a Model 811 BRNO Semi-auto made in 62. It's in REALLY nice shape. Paid an arm and leg for it, $450.00 but feel it's a great deal.

most times rimfire rifles get only inexpensive beech to hold the price down and very few get walnut but this one have first class wood.

Lancaster, yes indeed, nice piece of timber unusual on .22 as you mentioned it.

Daryl, thank you for sharing your own rifles; Brno and Anschütz are names often quoted in this post! Your Cooey M60 is a niece piece of Canadian rifle making history; its nice to still own one's dad rifle.

Louis, I definitely like the MAS 22 a lot, very nice looking and nice timber. If you get a chance can you post some mot=re photos of that rifle alone.

I also have another very early walnut stocked m60 Cooey which belongs to a now deceased friend's estate. This rifle and John's m34 Ithaca 12bore pump gun were to go to his son.

I holding them until the lad cleans up his act and with his mother's blessing. The boy doesn't have the requisite license anyway and it's highly unlikely he ever will. Drugs seem much more important to him at this time.
Due to his "record", his P.A.L.(gun license) will not likely ever happen.

my older son want to have a STG 44 so after mayn years I have now a 22 in the house agian. must say this are very clever guys who made this the market for such a .22 semi auto was more than ripe. it looks and feels like a real one and is anything you wish for the money today. wonder how many they have sold of this rifle till now but thinking it goes like hot cakes.
my son carry a heckler&koch g 36 at work and was instantly familar with the Sturmgewehr 44 design.







Not taking away from anyone else's .22, but Lancaster's .22
STG 44 22 RF remains the most unusual and IMO desirable. Simply for the fun factor.




The unusual stuff and guns our members own.

I hope to be able to share with NE members one of our members guns, a new modern replica STG 44 in 8x33 mm Kurz. Semi-auto only. But what a great toy to play with.

Hopefully will get some images and also permission to share them. On a different "non .22 RF" topic thread.
