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..

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.

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….

Cool story Rino.

Rino, your story reminds me of this movie. The gift of a .22 rifle that is.

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.
