[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 574311, member: 1365"] Ahh rimfire guns…I remember having a High Standard Sport King (22 LR semi auto). I shot it a lot. It was reliable and accurate. Tin cans were not safe in rural Oregon. My next 22 LR pistol was a Ruger MK II Stainless 5 1/2” bull barrel. It was a treasure. A bitch to clean but near perfect in function. I had a Ruger 22 LR Bolt Action Rifle (7722?). It had a wood stock & rotary magazine. I put a Weaver 4X fixed scope on it and it was scary accurate. I could easily hit quarters at 100 yds. Also a Ruger semi auto rifle that I had modded like a mini assault rifle. Fun and also deadly accurate. I had a Smith & Wesson Model 17 (22LR). It was a gem beyond all others. Bought it for about $250…now they’re going for over a grand. Ouch! Now in my elder years I have a Walther PPK-S Nickel Plated and a new Ruger stainless semi auto rifle with the black synthetic stock. I don’t think I’ve ever been very long without a 22 LR firearm of some kind. They just make too much sense. [/QUOTE]
