What do you like in 22LR rifle?

[Boriqua]

The Ruger Wrangler is a much better gun than the Heritage. A Single Six is best.

I am a ruger fan ...the guns, the company and its customer service .. but ... if she wants the Heritage??

I read some reviews that say it is durable enough .. I hate the safety!!!!

 

[QuietM4]

The safety is the second worst part of the Heritage...right behind the cheap pot metal it's made out of. The Heritage does have A LOT of different models, in every color pattern imaginable.

Has she held a Heritage and the Ruger? The Ruger is by far a better made firearm.

Hickok45 did a head-to-head comparison video of the two...

And for a 22 revolver don't discount adjustable sights.
If a fixed sight gun does not shoot to the point of aim ( and many don't ) she will be forced to utilize some form of Kentucky windage . She may lose interest real quick.

Ruger.

The CZ's are reportedly VERY accurate. They're supposed to have great triggers as well. They're very good looking guns, I know that much.

I like Ruger, but DackOutdoors has the Heritage for $113 if you're interested.

Or uberti has a full size 1873 in .22lr.
And it’s a 12 shot

 

[Longhair1957]

Even single action revolvers.......
I double tap!

Marlin/Glenfield Model 60. This is honestly the gun in my hoard that I shoot the most. It goes out to the Dez EVERY time I go. With my scoped carbine model I can shoot a golf ball off a beer bottle at 50 yrds.

Think I currently have 3...

It's hard not to pair a SA wheel gun with a lever action, but if he can find a S&W K22, M17 or M18, I'd go that route in a heart beat. I picked my K22 Target Masterpiece up for under $500 two years ago.

 

[Ballistic Therapy]

I guess I'm told school.
I like the old pumps , lever actions and bolt guns.
In semi autos it's hard to beat the old Belgium Brownings.
There aren't many 22's being made today that catch my eye.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts! I made an account for her on gunbroker and we went through her first purchase and she bought the heritage rough rider. Hey if hiccock can hit a gong at 80 yds cant be all bad.

But ... now I want a rifle and they are cheap enough to add so .. the hunt begins for a 22 rifle for the boriqua household!

Bet I could get a couple of wood peckers and my neighbors wouldn't even notice! (joking)

 

[Old Jeff H]

I bought my Dad a 22WMR/22LR Rough Rider a few years ago as a companion for his Henry. He still hasn't fired it, but it seemed like a pretty decent little piece to me.

Those Rough Riders aren't bad at all! I had a convertible model and put a few thousand rounds through it. I was able to keep a cylinder on a 8" plate at 50yrds with a little concentration.

I mostly struggled with it just cause the grip is a little small for my big paws. I considered making some over sized grips for mine, but ended up selling it off to someone that HAD to have it.

revolvers in 22 and a long gun are a right of passage, consider yourselves making the grade, of course just an old guys opinion, but reasonable. lol

Yea I kind of missed that right of passage being a city boy. This will be our first single action revolver which will soon be followed by a 22 rifle.

Oh and I didnt know this was a thing but I am pretty damn sure I need one!!

I have a winchester 9422 that puts a smile on your face when I shoot it. I had one in 22 mag also but sold it and always kick myself in the ass for selling it.

A 22 handgun and a carbine is a thing of beauty. A day of plinking that's easy on the wallet.

As much as I love my centerfires, not having to spend the day before on the loading bench for an afternoon of plinking is a blessing.

I also like wheel guns, single shots, lever actions and bolt guns. I think they're more fun-per-shot. Just yanking the trigger on a semi auto gets a little boring after awhile.

kentucky gun companie has a nice gallery pump up as xmas special and another bolt action unit, decent value.
best for the end of the week :dance:
