Someone abandoned this magazine at the range a few months back... It's for a 22 but we can't figure out which gun it fits.. Any Idea's ?

More pictures would have been nice, unless this is some kind of guessing game. You say .22?
W.A.G. is a .22 conversion for some AK platform. NO stamped mark's?? Capacity? ANY OTHER detail's?

I’d give it a feminine name since it has curves, maybe a “Beth” or “Lillian”?

Nothing..
No stamps, marks. etc.. I would say 5 to 6 rounds is all it can take. I really don't know what it's from. It was in the lost and found box at the range. They clear it out every few months if nobody claims things...

Looks similar to the magazine that a Stevens Buckhorn uses. If IRC the Stevens is straighter though.

Many .22 rimfire rifles have used similar magazines over the years. The rimmed case requires some angle to keep feeding properly. Winchester, Remington, Anschutz, CZ, and several others I have handled used such magazines. If it is one of the older models replacement magazines can be very hard to find, so the loss could be significant to the owner.

Does your range have a bulletin board where you can post this, see if the owner responds?

Not sure actually. But they said it's been in the lost and found box for at least a few months.. So nobody has come back in to claim it...

You might be right.. Also I just put some 22lr into it and it holds 10 rounds.

Mike,
It looks like either a Savage 35 or a Remington 511. The only thing that throws me off is the fact that it has no holes in the side and both of those magazines do. it could also be a Pro Mag brand replacement magazine for either one. They generally do not have the holes in them.

Sure looks like either one for sure... And your right could be a replacement...

All the Savage mags I have seen have two witness holes in the side, but it does look very much like a Remington 511 mag.

Yep.
After I posted Winchester 52, thought I better find a picture to prove it. ;)
(that and my dad shot a 52)

I had no doubt that you were spot on without the proof.
