Reasonably Priced .22 with Scope

[MotorSeven]

2Lane that would be a model 96/22 built from '96 through '09. I have never run across one, but I am always looking....nice rifle.

The 10/22 magnums? They made 'em from '98 to 2006. I don't own one but they have almost a cult following that have been begging Ruger to start production again. I doubt that it will happen and I would guess it was a matter of sales...roughly 45,500. Compare that to the 5 or 6 million 10/22 long rifles which are still selling like hotcakes.

Thx for response-seems like it was a good idea- a bit more power than a LR but still a rim fire and a reasonably priced shell.

Well, after trying to find a Ruger 10/22 and having no luck, I decided to get a Savage semi-auto with a 3x9 scope that I did find. Put my name on the list for a 10/22 (ETA when H*LL freezes over). Almost got a Henry lever action, but really wanted a semi-auto, and my BIL just got a Henry so thought it would be more fun to have something different for when we get together to plink.

Now to find some shells......

Good luck on finding some .22 ammo. :shocked:

No kidding-I guess I've been asleep at the wheel. But of course I'm such a great shot that I only need one shell for each muskrat. And when you're as good a shot as me, who needs the practice?

(A guy can always dream, right? Kind of like in one of my favorite movies, "A Christmas Story"? "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!" Only now it's with bigger toys than the old trusty Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle. Yeah, I've got one of those!)

 

[MotorSeven]

Ohhhh, buy the Henry! They are a blast to shoot, made right here in the USA, have excellent customer service, don't need a "trigger job" and are extremely accurate..................do it(I have 2)!!!

I love my 10/22's but the Henry's are great too:

 

[MotorSeven]

The Henry H001 is the round barrel lever action. They also make the same model in a octagonal barrel the H001T. The one above is a Golden Boy H004, which is pretty but does not have the grooved receiver to accept a scope. If you want a scope, stick with a H001 or H001T. Now if you want, you can go with peep tang sights sights for {us with older eyeballs} on the H004's..try 'em they are awesome:

A good gun for your job would be a .17 hmr or .17 hornet. You have less pelt damage and more killing power. I love my hmr.

I have two .22's, a 22 mag, and a .17 hmr. Since I got the .17 about 5 or 6 years ago, I have never taken my 22's out. They just gather dust. .17 hmr is hands down the best rimfire.

M7, I may just have to get one of the Henry's just to keep in the spirit of Ralphie! I had almost decided to get the model with the round lever action (Rifleman style), until the Savage came up. Nothing like a classic lever action style, and as you say, made in the USA!

Yup got a .17 hmr savage with the accue trigger and bull barrel. Sweet shooting and so much fun.

I like my 10/22. Put peep sights on it like the "Liberty Rifle" used in Appleseed shoots.

But, I have the most fun shooting a friends pump 22. When we go shooting, I set my 10/22 down the second he brings that out. I think it is a Rossi; he got in about 1987. It is accurate, and just plain fun to shoot.

If u want a very nice lever action 22 go for a Marlin 39A. They are a true classic!!!

One of my favorites, I got mine in 1961, a 39A Golden Mountie Carbine.

 

[mjarrels]

I use to hava a nice Browning BL-22 (no scope) lever action and available in three grades. Mine as grade II, a little engraving and a 10Ct gold trigger. Prices vary from fairly cheap to several hundred bucks. Very reliable. Probably not available new anymore?

Nice! I had the opportunity to buy a Mountie a few years ago. Wish I had! The 39A is a fine rifle. Annie Oakley even used one!

They are getting hard to find, if I run across another one like mine, I will buy it. I like the 10/22, but there is just something about that lever gun.

I bought the same gun I think, Model 93 bull barrel with accu-trigger with a 3x9 Bushnell scope for $269 in .17HMR. I wanted one of the lever action Henry's in .22 Mag but couldn't bring myself to spent $400 on it. I have the rifle zeroed at 150 yards and it is dead on. Shells aren't too bad at $11 a box last year now $15 but I still have some 22 mag that have $4.95 on the sticker that I shoot in my 22 mag semi-auto Grendel pistol. I have over 1000 rounds of .22 LR in my gun safe and haven't tried to buy any since the Obama scare so I don't know if they are scarce here or not. There is a Remington ammunition factory here so we may be able to get some easier than other parts of the country.

Gary can you buy from the factory? Or do they have a store front?.. I was just wondering,

I really like the Marlin 795. Has bolt hold back on it. Very inexpensive and accurate! Also like the new 10/22 takedown model. Has a soild feel and very handy to breakdown for back packing, etc.

Yeah if I find a Mountie I'm gonna buy it. Just a great classic!
