Our older daughter received a bolt-action heavy-barrelled Savage MK II for her 6th birthday last year. She wanted the 10/22 but I chose the bolt gun so we could concentrate on aimed fire. We started with .22 Shorts, then standard velocity .22LR and finally she is comfortable and accurate with the high-velocity rounds. Next year, she is getting a stainless, heavy-barrelled 10/22 for her 8th birthday. Her younger sister will receive the Savage bolt gun.I used to shoot a lot of 22 but over the last few years I haven’t shot it much. I’ve got a nice bull barrel 10/22 build that hasn’t been shot since probably 2014...Ruger MKIII hunter since 2016...
I’m trying to change that now that I’ve got a DW 22 revolver. What a fun gun to shoot.
Lately 357 mag 44 mag and 223 have been the go to calibers when I hit the range.
My daughter's Savage .22 bolt-action rifle has a threaded barrel and advertised as suppressor-ready. Purchased it in NH, where suppressor are legal and you just need to obtain the ATF tax stamp. One dealer in MA told me that suppressor-capable rifles were illegal in MA, but could not produce any evidence to support his claim. I just smiled and took little Jill up to Rileys in Hooksett, NH to purchase her first real rifle. That clown's loss was Riley's gain!I like to imagine I live in a free state and have a suppressor so I shoot Aguila Super Calibris out of my Savage bolt gun. But seriously, this week I plan on ordering the CMMG 22 conversion to shoot 22 out of my SBR. Love me some 22.
Me too but having a hardtime finding a market to unload some . I have many I just dont shoot.I have more .22's than any other type of gun.
Some day I will own a lever action 22.

Might have to list on gun broker but trying to avoid shipping.
been down that road, you might pick up 5 more lookers... plus I would still need to ship. Dont have the time to travel to far anyway....heck I might even just head to kittery and do a big trade dump?Can't you still do Gunbroker, but specify "Local Sales Only" meaning Massachusetts only? You will reach many more potential buyers than you would only on HES-Classified alone...
Try armslist as well. Unfortunately I’ve had more luck selling guns on armslist than NES...my DW revolver that’s in the classifieds has already had more activity on Armslist. In fact I’m meeting a buyer this afternoon. Crickets on NES...Me too but having a hardtime finding a market to unload some . I have many I just dont shoot.

Well, thanks guys. This thread pushed me over the edge and I decided to get a .22 conversion kit for my Beretta 92FS...that, and the fact that I was able to get it for $185 (35% off). For anyone interested, they've since sold out of the 10 round kits, which was the only one I could get, being in MA, but they do still have 15 round kits available. The cost of those would be $208, with the 35% discount (use discount code GIFT35). I'm thinking that this would make a great gun to use for teaching my wife and kids, since it will make for an easier transition from .22 to 9mm, using virtually the same gun.

^522 is awesome fun. After living through the "Great 22 ammo shortage", I highly suggest hoarding
Thanks. I will check out that MarlinLove shooting .22. Percent f you are interested in a lever gun, check out the Marlin 39M
That is, if your older daughter will give up the Savage. CCI Standard Velocity and CCI Stinger ammo hit the accuracy nodes with mine - Now that I'm getting tiny cloverleaf groups or smaller up to 125 yards, I'm looking for a place to shoot farther.Our older daughter received a bolt-action heavy-barrelled Savage MK II for her 6th birthday last year.

My 22LR pistol almost always go to the range with me. It’s a fun plinking gun with cheap ammo that’s readily available.
bwahahahahaha!!
I have a Henry 22 and it is a fantastic little rifle.I'd love to have a Henry Goldenboy .22, so I hear you on wanting a lever action. Those look incredibly fun to shoot.
are the manufacturers even making 22LR right now? I haven't seen any on the shelves in weeks.
