Henry Arms makes it now. According to reviews, it doesn’t have reliability issues anymore .
You can plink the day away, and it won’t even cost $20! Who could ask for more?
What am I seeing? 555 rounds of Winchester for $24.77? Thirty years ago I could get 500 rounds of Federal in a box for less than $5! Found two of those boxes a few months back in my garage!
And about 350 rounds of Remington in a coffee mug for less than $5! I still drink out of those coffee mugs! Dishwasher has washed off the Remington logo.
Love my vintage Mossberg Model 46b’s and M46b’s with tubular magazines. Very accurate and affordable collectables. My oldest are a couple of Spiegel guns a B46M and a single shot 26M that are in my copy of a 1939 Spiegel catalog. These were special editions rifles sold only by Spiegel.
My first gun was a Marlon Model 60. I still have it. I also have a savage bolt action, a Winchester bolt and two Henrylever action .22’s
Sometime this week I’ll be putting some rounds down range with my Tuger Wrangler 22 revolver.
I briefly owned the Henry version but I didn’t like the plastic barrel cover and the fat red plastic front sight. I’m sure that its better than the Charter Arms AR-7 - but the original Costa Mesa Armalite is still the best.
I wonder how the .22 Magnum cartridge fits in with these. I briefly owned a .22 revolver that could also fire .22 Magnum but you had to swap in a different cylinder.
I plink colibri 22s in my 10 shot 617 revolver all the time
I was thinking of buying my wife a Ruger Semi auto 22 pistol. I was looking at one on Saturday. Any advice regarding this firearm would be appreciated.
Good to know. I have mockingbirds continuously going into blue bird nest boxes I have put up and kill the chicks/eggs.
I might try some of that bird shot. I’m always afraid the .22 LR could pierce the wood nest box.
The .22 Long Rifle as introduced by Stevens was uncrimped for several years, until demand for ammo compatible with repeating rifles forced the major makers to start crimping.
Since that one event, I've stocked in more than I'll shoot in my lifetime. But it still makes good trade-bait for when things get tough.
Ruger .22 semi pistol-—
Mark 4——
Easiest to clean
All are Fantastic !

The GP100 10 shot revolver is a Beauty!
Tell us what you think of the Ruger Wrangler.
I have been seeing mixed impressions.
I like mine a lot. However, it is not a target pistol. About 2 inch groups at 50 feet.
Like everyone my first gun was a .22. Mossberg 341, and even wit it’s atrocious trigger pull I made it to Expert in NRA’s 50 indoor program. By then I’d saved up enough to switch to a Savage/Anschutz 64.
My favorite .22’s in the safe are Winchester 67’s which are the perfect teaching gun, as well as a plink all afternoon with one box gun. As a kid I wore out the 1973 Gun Digest and lusted after the Weatherby MK XXII. Finally acquired one complete with their funky scope. But my absolute favorite is a 1909 #4 Remington Rolling Block Takedown in .22 Short. An absolute dainty gem of a gun.
If you’re talking about one of the variants of the original Ruger you can’t go wrong. I’ve had several and put many thousand of rounds through them. I have no experience with the SR22 or LCP.
It’s just fun.
I’m not a shooting expert that knows more than everyone so I’m not arrogant.
It was relatively cheap and had good reviews. The competition is the Heritage Rough Rider which I’ve heard can be good or bad depending on the gun you have. A buddy owns ten of them. My sons each have rough riders too.
I just wanted to be different.
2 in groups at 50 ft...
.
That’s pretty good for a .410 ...
But a .22 ?

About 2 1/2 to 3 inch groups at 25 yards is about par for self defense pistols.
It is what is normally expected from a Glock.
The P17 is a semi-auto pistol with a 3.93 inch barrel.
