I do have one, with box, but it ran me about $500 six years ago, and is well worth it! I have only seen 3 or 4 for sale ever (haven't checked the internet, since I have one). They are art work, and extremely accurate!

Mine's about a month old. Early Christmas gift.

Pictures are not the best, have to remedy that problem. Bolt is a Mossberg 340KA and the lever is a Marlin 56. Old guns but great shooters, especially the Marlin. I also have a new Walther P-22 that has not had it's picture taken yet.

Here's my plinker: Ruger 10/22 with an el cheapo bi-pod. 3X9 Tasco on it in this picture. I've got a 16X target scope on it now just for fun!

This is the first gun that I bought myself when I moved out and I plan to teach my son how to shoot with it when he gets old enough and possibly pass it on to him.

I would love to have a .22 pistol to shoot considering the prices of ammunition anymore!!

This thread makes me want to go out to the range and burn up a couple hundred rounds on .22!!!

Late to this show but I'm a huge fan of the .22 rimfire. Here are some of my favorites for which photos are available.

Left to right: Springfield M1922AII, Winchester Model 1890 (in uncommon .22 Long Rifle chambering), scarce but sad looking Winchester Model 57

The Model 57 was rescued from a stack of broken guns, stock was glued back together (left wrap on grip as I found it) and put to work training my two sons, winning local junior small bore matches for them, taking rabbits, squirrels, and other Texas varmints and critters, and firing a jillion rounds in plinking fun. It shoots tight groups with its excellent factory Lyman receiver sight and fine two-stage trigger.

Colt Woodsman from 1928 (original owner kindly sold it to me)

Youngest son shooting the Woodsman when he was about 8. He's 22 now.

Old scanned photo of my favorite .22 handgun of all, a Smith & Wesson Model 17 with a rabbit dinner.

Just for a hoot. I was young once. I have the pictures to prove it. A really old scanned photo taken 32 years ago of me and my Winchester Model 190, burning through a magazine of ammo at our old family place in Eastland County, Texas. Bought the Model 190 brand new in 1971, complete with a Weaver Marksman scope already installed (scope was baggage) at White's Auto for $37 and change. Bought it with the first paycheck I ever made, $42, working as a sack boy at a grocery store. Upon receiving the check, I immediately cashed it and walked down to the White's Auto at the other end of the block and bought the rifle. Money stayed in my hot little hand for all of 10 minutes.
I recreated this photo only last summer, standing in the same exact place, a red T-shirt, a similar old pair of track shoes, same type of ear muffs, same S&W Model 10 HB I still carry daily stuffed the same ol' holster, but with the Winchester 1890. The photographer has not downloaded it yet to send to me. I'm sure I look exactly the same, heh.

The Coleman fuel can after the barrage.

Also, here's a great old Remington Model 41 single shot bolt-action rifle from the late 1930's on an inpromptu front rest. It was out for a little sight adjustment the other day.

Another shot of the M1922 Springfield. I had it out a couple of weeks ago on a warm Texas afternoon, attempting to shoot some tight 100 yard groups (notice the aperture sight cranked way up high). It was all for naught. The range I was using faces west! The late afternoon sun glinted far too much on the sights. Groups were wretched.

OD, I longed for an HD Military for many moons. Finally found a pretty decent looking one that was a little more worn than your great example. It hanged in the hand so nice and had a wonderful trigger. Couldn't get it to reliably feed. Tried all kinds of ammo, different magazines, but nothing seemed to work. Finally sold it to a local State Trooper who collected High Standards and was willing to take it on. I'm sure it was just a fluke. Still would like to try another some day. How does your HD shoot?

Sure hope this thread continues for a long spell. Y'all are showing some fine rimfire shootin' equipment!
