My new 22lr but my Henry is my favorite.

For dirty D

I still say though wont any of them kill anything any deader than this one will. Most of the time this is my go too 22

hows it work?
my Dads old gun which is in excellent condition, has an issue with the mag. tube not latching real well.
If you carry it around alot sometimes the tube will start coming out.
.

never been a problem with this one

Remington 541 all day over them junk 10-22 you boys don't know guns !

I don't like having a mag stick out like that. If there was a mag available that fit flush even if it only held only 3-4 rounds it would be nice.

Lots and lots of choices in 22 rimfire. I am willing to bet there are more 22's in the hands of private citizens than any other caliber. Not only is it very useful it is cheap to shoot. There have always been rifles available from very cheap to very expensive since the round was introduced.

22 LR has been around since 1884. It started out as the .22 BB Cap of 1845 and the .22 Short of 1857. Moved up to the the .22 Long in 1871. Since all that was before the invention of smokeless powder its another example of the few designs that made the transition and are still around. Stuff like 45-70 and 30-30.

Anything that old and still that popular is for one reason. It works really well. Nobody has ever improved significantly on it for that niche.

A hunter could keep his family fed if all he owned were a single shot 22 and plenty of ammo.

This thread proves that the cartridge is arguably the most useful firearm available today and lots of very fine firearms have been built to shoot it.

Maybe we need a 12 gauge thread now. A hunter could keep his family fed if all he owned were a single shot 12 gauge and plenty of ammo..........
