Show us your 22LR

Bog standard BRNO 2E ( (1952 I think) More accurate than me.





I now have sourced the leaf for the rear sight and also a proper 5rnd mag. The plastic 10rnd mag is ugly and gets in the way when shooting off-hand.

Really a beauty of a rifle there. The wood looks superb!

Thanks D.M.V . I had initially put a deposit down on a 10/22. When my license variation eventually came through my mate the Gun Dealer had sold it (he had forgotten!) He offered me the BRNO.. It was a bit tatty with a knackered scope on it etc. From the state of it it had clearly been a "working" rifle over the years,. I thought "why not?" (we were only talking small money after all) I took her home, stripped her down, fettled the woodwork and gave the working parts a deep-clean, swapped a scope of an airgun that I don't use and now am grateful for my mate the gun dealers crap memory!!!

I've become a big fan of Czech guns in last few years. There overall craftsmanship and prices are a great value to the hunter shooter and collector alike and with a rich history in firearms the feeling of tradition reverberates threw there products even today.
 
Steyr Zephyr. It l0ves PMC Target and usually groups less than 1" for 5 shots at 100 yards with this ammo, which I had but never thought to try.
Sorry for the extra shot of the M70 300 H&H.
 
My first rifle, given to me at 11 years old from my grandmother. I have left it in original condition and have shot hundreds, if not thousands of jackrabbits and ground squirrels with it. I will never add a scope to it.

This has been my squirrel rifle the last two years. It shoots surprisingly well.

It ain't pretty, nor is the leather, but it's been working for me since I was a kid.

About a months worth of work by this pistol over our hounds.

Of little value for hunting squirrels, it does quite well at pushing thumbtacks at 50 yards It is a Win 52B from 1948; PO Ackley barrel, Canjar Trigger, Richard's stock, Unertl 10x scope.

Fun stuff!
 
So I was at Walmart one day and picked this up for 300$ this is a quality built little 22. Not a big fan of the loading system. Kinda like the Marlin semi auto. But this gun is really beautiful and very well made, heavy, all steel and nice wood for 3 bills. Fun plinker

I've been eyeing a Henry for a number of years - so much so that I bought one of the golden receiver covers / barrel bands during a RimfireCentral group buy a few years back. One of these rainy days...

I have a Marlin 880sq which is the bull barrel bolt action synthetic stock. I put a Rifle Basix trigger in it years ago and it's a slick squirrel killing machine. At the time, it was the best shooting 22 on the market for 200 dollars. I love that thing.
 
I shoot more rim fire than any other cartridge love shooting them will dig some photos out
