What are the most fun 22lr rifles

[DevilDad]

I personally love my tube fed Marlin 60

Me too! .. and of course my wife's 15-22

 

[PatMcD]

My Anschutz 1413. Because only accurate guns are fun.

 

[je25ff]

Wrong caliber, I know, but the most fun shooting a small caliber rifle I've ever had was a .17 bolt action with a good trigger. You could blow a flies balls off at 100 yards.

WINCHESTER 9422
AR15 WITH A DEDICATED CMMP 22 UPPER!

I agree. My 17hmr is a tack driver. If the wind cooperates I can hit the 6" plate at 300 all day long. Love the look on people's face when your getting hits out that far will a rim fire.

My son has a Ruger 10/22 with a stainless barrel and Mannlicher stock. Great rifle.

 

[SJan]

AR15 with Nordic Arms or JP .22 upper.

yup, most fun 22 ever


My Nordic upper, of the short barreled variety

I want to try this with my Tac sol 22lr upper.

Vintage (like 40s/50s/60s) era Remington 12 or Winchester 62 pump guns or Marlin 39 lever guns are the most fun 22s and amazingly accurate. And they look the best. They eat anything you feed them too. You can easily ping steel with them at 100 yds offhand unslung. Best part is you can find shooter quality examples for a few hundred and never lose money on them. Heck if you don't like it, clean it up nicely and probably double your money.

Your pretty close. I think my dedicated 22 polymer lower with a Taccom upper is more fun. Lots of carbon fiber and titanium for 3lb 7 oz with an optic. Too bad I can't shoot it well enough to win something.

Fun to shoot: 10/22, Marlin 39A
Hunting: Marlin 25N, 10/22

this is true...... my remington 552 from the 60s is awesome and it talkes shorts,long and long rifle with out issue....dont need no special 22lr ammo.

 

[old goat]

My long tube Marlin 60

 

[Point37]

The "nylon cult"
I had apache brown and a black and chrome. I liked those guns as they needed little care. Only enough oil on parts that could rust...only down side is the scrappy metal receiver slip cover. Never was able to get a scope to zero.

+1...def irons only rifle...and having 14 shots is nice over the 10 shot 10/22 but reloading is a little slower...

Dear god. JP says no shipping to MA for uppers. Sad.

It will get worse ......

GSG-522

 

[Varmint]

Dear god. JP says no shipping to MA for uppers. Sad.

Point out the latest FAQ which says all .22s are legal. (if they're smart they'll ignore that, since it could change again tomorrow).

 

[Speedway]

1897 Marlin. My favorite.

My sons loves the Marlin 60.

 

[MARINE96]

Winchester 9422. Something about the little lever makes me feel like a kid again.

 

[Uncle Ogre]

Ithaca Model 72 Saddlegun, made in W. Germany by Erma Werke. Better handling and smoother action than the Winchester 9422 or the Browning BL-22. A joy to shoot.

 

[413dan]

My long tube Marlin 60

yeah baby

 

[CharlieFoxtrot]

I love my Henry.

 

[Rot-Iron66]

I love my Henry.

My bud just got a gorgeous Henry,Railroad Tribute edition,unreal.I myself just got a M&P AR15-22lr, and what a blast...(Xmas gift from wife).
Shot it yesterday 500 rounds at Manchester Firing Line, great fun...

 

[beergut]

my Henry Golden Boy lever action is my favorite- not to mention one of the finest American built .22 rifels you could ever buy. if you don't have a Henry rifle in your collection, your collection is desperately incomplete!

 

[5king]

Another one for the tube fed Marlin 60 ! Tack driver

 

[dezignguy]

I personally love my tube fed Marlin 60

X2 on the Marlin 60, I also love my old Remington nylon 66

 

[magoo]

I like my Sig 522

 

[mac1911]

X2 on the Marlin 60, I also love my old Remington nylon 66

Both great little guns and I do miss my 66 a little.
What I find completely amazing is how well my 50+ year old 22s function much better than anything newer.

Now for you model 60 owners that have a jamOmatic or think it's a POS I will take them off your hands. I have magic ammo that fixes them all....

 

[jkerm3]

Henry Frontier, lever action with octagonal barrel. About the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
