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!!

Wow, Iowa's son's Anschutz 1913 is a really nice!

Yeah, you beat me to it. It's looks really futuristic. Like what Mr. Spock would've use on the University of Vulcan Rifle Team, ... if, you know, the Univ. of Vulcan had a Rifle Team, ... and Mr. Spock had been a shooter back in the day.

This is a very good thread. Shows big bore nuts like everyone else also had a .22 and enjoyed it at some point in their lives and probably still. Also a great thread anyone and everyone can join in on.

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.

All these single-shots, high-tech or not, are really sharp looking.

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..

Don't want anything that is toooo heavy and might make you actually work or be a bit strong or heaven forbid in shape..

I still have my Dad's M60 Cooey - purchased when he was a Sgt. in the RCAF stationed in Kenora, Ont near the end of the 2nd War. Back then, the stocks were walnut.

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.

Cheers.

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.

See more here on the NitroExpress.com forums "Mauser Archive".

That is a frickin' awesome .22lr analog to a big bore rifle. Love it.
Plus, those pics are outstanding!

Indeed. This is the benchmark by which all other .22 rifles will be measured from here on. Sadly very few will ever measure up.
