So we've all seen the concealed carry gun threads, and the "What Do You Carry" thread. But the thread on the new Ruger Challenger has inspried me and I want to see everyones plinking guns.

Marlin 917 VS .17HMR w/ Swift 3-9 scope and Harris 6"-9" Bipod

Browning Buckmark .22LR Pro Target 5.5" bull bbl. w/ hooded target sights.

i dont yet have a plinking gun.
my next gun will be a good ol' full size 1911 with a .22 conversion kit
until then, if i have the need to shoot a .22, i use our clubs mkIIs

My wife's Browning Buckmark Camper. She's deadly with this thing!

I have a slight addiction to .22s. Here are all the one's that I currently own and I'm sure I'll end up with a few more before too long.

Ruger Mark III Hunter

Sig Mosquito

Firestorm 22

Tanfoglio FA22 Buffalo Scout

Winchester Model 67 (not a pic of mine, but looks just like it)

My second-favorite gun I own... useless for self defense, but DAMN accurate for plinking and a lot of fun to shoot.

It's a Hi-Standard Supermatic model 102 Citation, manufactured sometime in the late 60s. I inherited it from an aunt who passed away. .22 cal, 10 rd clip (having problems finding more magazines for it... any ideas?), 9" barrel with factory muzzle break.

Shown assembled, and field stripped with a cigarette lighter for size comparison.

Not to brag, on a good day I can hold sub 2" groups at 50 yards free standing with this gun, but most of my shooting is done in the woods, not at a range... I can hit bottles and cans at 150 yards probably 8 times out of 10. But I've put *thousands* of rounds through this gun, and probably shot it more than any other gun I own. It's cheap and fun to shoot, I love this gun. It could use rebluing soon, too. Anyone know a good 'smith in the greater Seattle area?

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

Here are our plinkers.

1. Ruger .22 Long Rifle Automatic Pistol.

2. Springfield Model 55 B, from wife's grandfather.

3. Wife's Ruger 10/22 Carbine, Walnut and Stainless

4. Marlin Model 60 with Bushnell Sportview 6x40 scope. My first gun, now about 25 yrs old.

5. Rossi Model 62 SA, stainless.

We shoot all these on a regular basis. Nothing more fun than bouncing cans around, or shooting shotgun shells off of logs, or just seeing what type of grouping you can get on a piece of paper. Everyone should have a 22 to plink with.

Hey, anything can be useful for self defense, especially if the rounds go where you want them to!

I know nothing about that gun, but the magazine looks a whole lot like the one for my Ruger 22/45. (Okay, so all .22LR mags probably look alike, but I thought I'd chime in...

)

That Hi Standard Pete is a beaut gun ....... worth some bucks too IMO.

My stuff - and JD has seen these I think ......... the Phoenix is cheap and cheerful - but still fun and better with the long barrel. My best for accuracy is the Mauser Obendorfe rifle - and the 22/45 is a good shooter too for pistol. (first two rifle pics are old - somewhat grainy)
