My dad gave me a Winchester model 62 for my 10th birthday . I still have it. My 10th birthday was in 1959. The Winchester is a 1946 model. Yes, it was used, but my cousin bought it new, then sold it to Dad. My grandson will inherit it one day.
I have the Winchester model 90. My Grandfather bought it new around 1926. My father had it and I learn to shot when I was 8 years old. Its in great condition. Shoots very accurate. It will always be in the family. I am 77. So, you know how much I love this gun,
Who else is surprised the Plinkster doesn’t have a million subs? I have a pump Remington that I inherited from my grandfather. I was staying the summer with him when I was 10 (1976) and remember picking the rifle up at the farm store, he mounted a scope, sighed it in, then promptly turned to the direction of his strawberry patch and dispatched 2 birds that were stealing all of them. I got to shoot it a lot that summer with my cousin. We’d take a brick of ammo and a card table and chairs out in the field and shoot ground squirrels for hours. Lots of good memories.
The first .22 rifle I got was a single shot, bolt action, auto safety, that a grandfather figure gave to me. His parents bought it for him out of the Sears and Roebuck catalog for his 13th birthday. I've put more rounds in through that rifle then any other .22 I own. I don't shoot it much anymore, but it's still one of my all time favorite rifles! That thing is crazy accurate for being as old as it is and with how much abuse its taken over the years. I have never considered myself much of a precision shooter, but I surprised myself one day when I shot a 10 round group at 50 yards and all 10 were touching in about a 1" group! And that was off hand! Now I've never been able to replicate those results, but I don't blame the rifle. . . I usually can't even get those kind of results with a modern semi-auto rifle while in the prone position! Like I said, I'm not a precision shooter. I'm working on getting better, but I used to think as long as I was within a few inches of my aim point, it wouldn't really matter.
The Winchester 1890 was often chambered in .22WRF which is now obsolete, although CCI occasionally produces the .22WRF ammo. The 1890 was also used at shooting galleries at state fairs and other such events and is often referred to as a gallery gun. In those days, it was common to shoot .22 short gallery guns at the fair. Even kids could shoot them. I'm old enough that I shot them. About 15 years ago, I accumulated 6 of the 1890s and still have 5 of them. I gave one to my grandson and it is chambered in .22WRF.
I have a Ruger Precision 8400 bolt action. It's an AR platform 22LR. I put a big scope and bipod on it. That rifle is very accurate and much fun to shoot.
I have an '06 that my grandfather used for decades as a state employed beaver trapper in Colorado. It shows that it was a working gun. I even have the leather saddle scabbard that he carried it on his horses in. For speed shooting hold the trigger back and run the pump as fast as you can. It'll fire on lockup without having to pull and release the trigger every shot.
I have a Winchester 1906 that someone left laying between the rafters of a house I bought. It is a really fun gun to shoot, but not the most accurate. I was a little surprised that you did not mention that some of the old .22 pump actions were used in carnival shooting galleries. I hope you reach 1 million subscribers soon.
When I was a lad I found a well used Winchester model 62 that my uncle bought in 1933 when he was 14. He said if I wanted to fix it, it was all mine. The stock was cracked and held together with tape. I put a screw in it, refinished the stock, put on a new sight, and have been shooting it for the last 45 years.
Took my friends and family out for a Sunday shoot, brought out the AR”s AK”s and everything in between, but at the end of the day everyone wanted to shoot / own a 22 plinking gun.. the 22 king of the plinking world.. don’t leave home without it!! Thanks for sharing!!
Love .22 pump actions! A few years ago a buddy brought over an old pump .22 and told me I could have it since it didn't work and he knew I worked on old firearms. It was a Savage 1903 missing the magazine and a gummed up action. A few hours later and I had it working again and a original magazine ordered!👍
I picked up a Remington 12A at a gun show for a bargain price of $100. It shoots great if it's clean! Dirty I can't hit the paper target. I believe these types of 22 rifles where described as "gallery guns" because they were the type used in shooting galleries of old with 22 shorts.
A number of years ago I acquired a Winchester Model 61, stamped W.M.R.F. It is in excellent condition. I also have a Win 1906 and, a pair of 62A manufactured circa 1952. When I was actively collecting I was unable to find an 1890.

Dad used to have one made in the 1920s he bought used in 1953 when he was 12 for $20. My Uncle is 89 and still owns it. I'd like to have it back someday. Wish Dad never sold it when he joined the Army in 1960. Always preferred a pump over a lever action and they both did too. Even better with the octagonal barrel.
@@JohnDoeEagle1. I enjoyed reading the account of your experience with this family heirloom (priceless by previous owners). May I ask why the octagonal barrel is a better find?
@@slackleashdogtraining3598 They are old world craftsmanship, look cool and shoot very well because they have a heavy barrel. Instead of being a modern round heavy "bull barrel" they are octagon and have flat sides. They told me stories of shooting gophers with just their heads sticking up from their 2nd story bedroom window. They also shot sparrows out of the trees and the barn cats became their best friend when they had their daily meal handed to them without any effort on their parts. Something that has carbon steel with high polished blue, real wood stock and forearm along with the octagonal barrel screams Americana all over it. Remember how 1858 Remington New Army .44 BP/.45 LC had the octagonal barrel? That's one of the most popular Civil War and Old West handguns ever made. Clint Eastwood used one in Pale Rider along with the quick change .45 LC conversion cylinders he wore on his belt.
My first rifle was a late 1930s Noble Arms pump action prototype .22 rimfire gallery gun. My Grandfather used it as his ranch gun and I first shot it from the back of that truck in 1959 when I was six years old. He later gave it to me and I shot all the rounds through it that I could afford. I still have it, occasionally shoot it, and would never part with it.
Sometime in the late 50s/early 60s, Winchester sold the the machinery used to produce the 62 to Rossi. Rossi then setup production in Brazil, using the original Winchester machinery, to produce the model Rossi 37, later renamed 62.
my first .22 was a takedown Remington rolling block, wish I still had it! I have a 1926 Rem mod 12 pump octagon, Rem Nylon 66, Ruger 10/22, and Henry octagon.
My dad gave me his childhood model 61 when I was 10. I shot many rounds over the years. Still have it and plan to hand it down. I used to rabbit hunt with it and never shot one sitting..always on the run. I also have my grandpas model 63. I love old Winchesters..!
I too learned to shoot using CB "Cap" back in the late 50s Father had his ROTC Match, Winchester (mid 40s) Model 72 Target, and we'd shoot those CB Caps in the Backyard Back then, they came in a Tin, not unlike Pellets That old Model 72 can still Keyhole Shots all day long
Making a video of every rimfire you have will be an awesome undertaking. Especially if you are determined to fire each one of them. I believe epic is what it's called. I've been watching for several years and seen bunches of guns you might have owned. Looking forward to this epic presentation. Thank you for this presentation on the slide action rimfire rifles.
Remington 1912 and Winchester model 51 is sitting beside me now ! Love the old guns that I grew up with! For .22 I prefer the pump- slide actions. Have taken many small game and varmints with them !
Nice guns. I've only got one pump action 22 in my collection. A hammerless Noble Model 235 that my father gave me in un-working condition about 30 years ago. After replacing the internal hammer and spring, it turned out to be a nice gun for what was a budget gun in it's day. It's a lot of fun to shoot though can be a little picky about ammo. Seems a love CCI Mini Mags as I've never had those jam.
I love the 22s. Thank you very much. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed week. I sub your channel and hope you reach 1 millions subs soon.
When I was 12 my dad used to take me with him to the range. Then he brought my a bolt action mossberg 22. While in HS (1963-66) I used it to practice with CB 22 indoors. I still have one box. With a price tag of .50 cents. They still work fine.
The first several times I went to the local amusement park, from about 1961-1965, there was a shooting gallery. Even though I was a "kid", I was just another customer. I really liked the pump "gallery guns", and later working at a small gun shop had plenty of opportunity to purchase , but didn't. Enjoy them for me!
When I was a kid, in the late 60's - early 70's, there were still "shooting galleries" at carnivals, boardwalks, county fairs, etc., that still used .22 rifles. Most of the rifles were semiauto's modified to fire .22 CB Long, but a couple of the older operations used slide-action rifles in .22 Short or .22 Long. I always preferred the slide-actions, and shot them far better than the semi-autos. My uncle could shoot the slide-actions almost as fast as a semi-autos.
I have an all original Winchester model 1906 slide action. My late brother in law used it as his squirrel gun growing up in Alaska in the 40's & 50's. Serial number dates to 1913. My gunsmith refurbished it and said it had little use. After he finished it, it looked great. Shot flawlessly and the sight were very accurate. If my sister's grandson takes an interest, I will pass it on to him. But I'll be keeping my brother in law's Colt 1908 25ACP Vest pocket pistol that dates to 1910. A very early one, also refurbished.
my grandfather came to anerica in 1919. He bought a Stevens model 70 visible loading carbine, from the sears catalogue for $20. I still have it and it is an accurate gun.
I have a Stevens Visible Loading Repeater .22 short/long pump action from 1910. It exposes the cartridge in the rear of the gun when you pump the action. When my great grandfather bought it at a haberdashery in Maryland, it was sold to him as a "Carnival Gun". It's very easy to catch the webbing of your thumb under the hammer when charging it and Oh goodness does it hurt!
Many years back, my father gave me his old rifle that he bought as a kid. It's a Winchester Model 60A target rifle. Bolt action, Peep sight and sling. Still have it in the original box, which is really falling apart and the cleaning kit that I'm pretty sure didn't come with it, witch is still in it's original cloth bag. To this day I have never shot it.
My first firearm is a 1969 Remington 572 which I still have. I was 12 when I got it for my birthday and I just hit 67 a week ago making it 55 years old. It is fun to shoot and still looks great.
I have an 1890, 1906, 62, 61, the rossi copy, and they are all great guns. My two most accurate is my 1890 in 22lr and the 61 that is scoped. Both are unusually accurate for a pump 22.
I have a J. Stevens 1904, pump action! Shoots .22 and.22 long Rifle! Was my Grandfather, then my father and now mine. When my Grandfather owned it, he said it was dropped and the front sights were knocked off and someone had the sites Brazed back on.
Have you ever shot a Remington 591M/592M in 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum? Not in production for a long time, but its an amazing cartridge and very accurate rifle.
I have always preferred pump .22s over lever action. I have a Henry H003T now to scratch the itch. I wish I still had my deceased Dad's 1920's Remington 12 Gallery gun he bought slightly used as a 12 year old kid for $20 in 1953. He sold it when he joined the Army to my Uncle (his older brother) in 1960 for $20 the same as he paid for it. My Uncle is 89 and still has it but won't sell it. I'm thinking I might have a chance with my Cousins of buying it back. It's been in the family for 71 years. They shot it a lot growing up and it is a very accurate example. I'd like to have it back someday because it was Dad's. I bought the Henry when pestering my Uncle to buy it back didn't work after years of trying. The Henry was the closest thing I could find and buy that shares the same mystique.
the first gun I ever fired was at camp Rio Vista in Texas back in 1975 they were Remmington bolt guns but needless to say I was a terrible shot, but now I can hit targets at over a mile, things have changed since then!
Marlin 39a was rough straight from the factory I spent a lot of time polishing the internals and have not shot it since. One day hopefully it still functions.
When I started with an old Remington single shot bolt action I could but a box of 50 22 shorts for 40 cents, longs for 45 cents and 50 cents for long rifle.
I have a Rossi and my extractor broke and I could not find anyone who would work on a Rossi. So I got my dad to make a replacement part and I finished fitted it by hand file myself, I haven't shot it more than 100 shots since but it still works.
Bought the Henry...didn't like the buckhorn sight ..loved the two screw holes under it,, because it was 5 minutes to put the Skinner peep into them...then a Skinner fiber optic took over the front.. scary how accurate that set up made that rifle with CCI Standards..
I have an 1890 short only. The rifling was horrible. You couldn’t guarantee hitting a paper plate every time at 10 yards. I had liner installed and it shoots pretty well now.
I have one of the Rossi's as well (my first "real" gun). The one time I needed parts for it, I just bought the Winchester parts and they worked fine. Just something to think about if you want to get the Rossi running again.
I have a, I think, '70s made Rossi. I got it in the '80s and the finish was not great, but no rust. I have perforated scores of soda cans with that rifle. Years later I added a sling for carrying in the boonies and had a gunsmith install a Taurus tang sight. The Rossi 62 is, as it would sound, a copy of the Winchester 62 (I foolishly traded away many years ago). The tang on the Rossi and the Winchester 62A (the ones I have seen) only have one screw so I had to have a gunsmith install the tang sight.. I recently bought a Winchester 1906 and there are two tang screws. Comparing the Rossi with the Winchester: the Winchester has a great finish. Made, I think in the 1930s, this thing must have been well cared for. Comparing the two, while the Rossi is a great shooter and solid, it does not compare with the Winchester 1906. The Winchester is much more finely machined; the Rossi is great, but the quality level is much inferior to the 1906. I love your videos.
I've got an old Rossi in much better condition in .22 WMR, what a fun gun that is! Slamfire, accurate as hell, great to teach new shooters traditional riflegrip because the slide will slam into your thumb if you don't hold it right lol. Great little guns.
The 1906 was the very first 22 I ever shot. It was my mother’s the second 22 I ever shot was from Sears and roebuck and it was a single shot bolt action from 1936. It belong to my father.
Absolutely LOVED this video! My first firearm experience was when I was 4, with a Winchester model 90 Mine is a bit different from yours though, as it doesn’t have the “wings” on the bolt. My Dad told me when his Dad went to buy it, and the guy wanted $10 for it. My grandpa wouldn’t have any of that, and talked the guy down to $8. 😂 My Dad passed this .22 to me, and we still shoot it together. It is the prized rifle in my collection!
Dad got me my first gun when he got back from Vietnam in 1974, a High Standard Sport King (model P0111?). I was 11. Still have it, it’s still in almost perfect shape. One thing that has always kinda impressed me about that rifle is the wood stock. It’s really quite nice for a not expensive gun. I mean, he was a CMSGT in the the Air Force, so it wasn’t like we were poor, but he was kindofa cheap skate, so I just don’t see him paying more than $50 for it back then.
Ice collection mate, we got to get ya up to the mill, that’s a vid I’d like to see Have found on the 22mag if you give the cartridge another crimp the accuracy is much better, cheers Yogi ✌️🤙
I have a Henry pump action and it's a nice rifle but I really wish they would make a lighter version of it. You start to feel the weight of that heavy octagonal barrel after a while.
You won’t believe me I’m sure but, after I graduated high school I wanted to buy a new firearm. I was working, had money, going to college and needed something for fun. I had trouble choising between two long guns. a rossi pump .22 styled aftre the Win. 62 snd a rossi double bbl, rabbit eared .410 shotgun. In '83 those matched so nicely. deep bluing and beautiful wood. i decided to get the .410. that .22 sold and ive never found one even close since. You sir have a .22 Rossi slide action like ive looked for off and on since then. i suppose theres more out there yet.

Nice collection, you could have the barrel re-lined, I've never had one done but have seen Larry Potterfield ' s with Midway video on it.
Pump-action rifles always bring a sense of nostalgia and practicality to the table.
I'd love it if Remington made pump action rifles again
they look fun
Pump-action rimfire rifles are such a blast to shoot and perfect for honing skills.
My dad gave me a Winchester model 62 for my 10th birthday . I still have it. My 10th birthday was in 1959. The Winchester is a 1946 model. Yes, it was used, but my cousin bought it new, then sold it to Dad. My grandson will inherit it one day.

Gallery guns.

I have a Ruger Precision 8400 bolt action. It's an AR platform 22LR. I put a big scope and bipod on it. That rifle is very accurate and much fun to shoot.
Yes it is. You can drive tacks with it because of its accuracy.

Same experience. My 1906 with a Lyman tang is the Best gun in my safe.
My first 22 was a 1906, still have it and you aren’t wrong about the “not being cleaned”

Sometime in the late 50s/early 60s, Winchester sold the the machinery used to produce the 62 to Rossi. Rossi then setup production in Brazil, using the original Winchester machinery, to produce the model Rossi 37, later renamed 62.
I think i paid $38 at K-mart in '79 for my Marlin mod.25. It's really hard to believe how accurate it is. I love it more now than ever.
my first .22 was a takedown Remington rolling block, wish I still had it! I have a 1926 Rem mod 12 pump octagon, Rem Nylon 66, Ruger 10/22, and Henry octagon.
I have a FN Browning "trombone" , conceled hammer pump action . Great little takedown gun but the trigger is a shocker.
So cool, beautiful collection
I have been watching you since the early days .
I pray you hit the One Million Mark .
God bless
I’m pumped for this video.
My dad gave me his childhood model 61 when I was 10. I shot many rounds over the years. Still have it and plan to hand it down. I used to rabbit hunt with it and never shot one sitting..always on the run. I also have my grandpas model 63. I love old Winchesters..!
It's so awesome to see this very old and beautiful Winchester rifles. I haven't known that .22 pump action rifles even exists. Thanks for showing it.
That old movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Deniro and the .22 rifle marksman shooting contest. He had a pump action .22 in that movie.
Nice collection. I like the pump .22s too. My favorites are the Winchester 61 and Remington 121.
Hi Dave! great video. I love the pump action 22's I have somewhere between 45&50 in my collection.
Holy cow! Well done!
I too learned to shoot using CB "Cap" back in the late 50s
Father had his ROTC Match, Winchester (mid 40s) Model 72 Target, and we'd shoot those CB Caps in the Backyard
Back then, they came in a Tin, not unlike Pellets
That old Model 72 can still Keyhole Shots all day long
I have my dads 62a he bought in 1953 has only been fired a half a dozen times the gun is accurate and in pristine condition
I like the sound of the slide action and the subsonic round. That Winchester .22 mag looks good to me.
Making a video of every rimfire you have will be an awesome undertaking. Especially if you are determined to fire each one of them.
I believe epic is what it's called.
I've been watching for several years and seen bunches of guns you might have owned.
Looking forward to this epic presentation.
Thank you for this presentation on the slide action rimfire rifles.

I'm surprised you aren't well over a million. Always great videos!
The first several times I went to the local amusement park, from about 1961-1965, there was a shooting gallery. Even though I was a "kid", I was just another customer. I really liked the pump "gallery guns", and later working at a small gun shop had plenty of opportunity to purchase , but didn't. Enjoy them for me!
You're getting close to a million, so I'm looking forward to that video.
When I was a kid, in the late 60's - early 70's, there were still "shooting galleries" at carnivals, boardwalks, county fairs, etc., that still used .22 rifles. Most of the rifles were semiauto's modified to fire .22 CB Long, but a couple of the older operations used slide-action rifles in .22 Short or .22 Long. I always preferred the slide-actions, and shot them far better than the semi-autos. My uncle could shoot the slide-actions almost as fast as a semi-autos.
I have an all original Winchester model 1906 slide action. My late brother in law used it as his squirrel gun growing up in Alaska in the 40's & 50's. Serial number dates to 1913. My gunsmith refurbished it and said it had little use. After he finished it, it looked great. Shot flawlessly and the sight were very accurate. If my sister's grandson takes an interest, I will pass it on to him. But I'll be keeping my brother in law's Colt 1908 25ACP Vest pocket pistol that dates to 1910. A very early one, also refurbished.
my grandfather came to anerica in 1919. He bought a Stevens model 70 visible loading carbine, from the sears catalogue for $20. I still have it and it is an accurate gun.
Old gallery guns are fun to shoot. But, they are a bit pricey. Thanks for sharing and showing.
I have a Stevens Visible Loading Repeater .22 short/long pump action from 1910. It exposes the cartridge in the rear of the gun when you pump the action. When my great grandfather bought it at a haberdashery in Maryland, it was sold to him as a "Carnival Gun". It's very easy to catch the webbing of your thumb under the hammer when charging it and Oh goodness does it hurt!
Many years back, my father gave me his old rifle that he bought as a kid. It's a Winchester Model 60A target rifle. Bolt action, Peep sight and sling. Still have it in the original box, which is really falling apart and the cleaning kit that I'm pretty sure didn't come with it, witch is still in it's original cloth bag. To this day I have never shot it.
My father has an old remingtton pump 22 with a scope on it, think its a model 24. Fun little gun to plink in the back yard with on special occasions.
I've got my daddy's 62 A it shoots great.
My first firearm is a 1969 Remington 572 which I still have. I was 12 when I got it for my birthday and I just hit 67 a week ago making it 55 years old. It is fun to shoot and still looks great.
I have an 1890, 1906, 62, 61, the rossi copy, and they are all great guns. My two most accurate is my 1890 in 22lr and the 61 that is scoped. Both are unusually accurate for a pump 22.
Liking the Midsouth Shooters Supply t-shirt. Coincidentally, I have bought quite a bit of .22lr ammo from them over the past couple of years.
I have a J. Stevens 1904, pump action! Shoots .22 and.22 long
Rifle! Was my Grandfather, then my father and now mine.
When my Grandfather owned it, he said it was dropped and the front sights were knocked off and someone had the sites Brazed back on.
Have you ever shot a Remington 591M/592M in 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum? Not in production for a long time, but its an amazing cartridge and very accurate rifle.
I have a Rossi. Owned since 1980. Bought from a coworker for $100. Works great about 90% of the time haha.
I have always preferred pump .22s over lever action. I have a Henry H003T now to scratch the itch. I wish I still had my deceased Dad's 1920's Remington 12 Gallery gun he bought slightly used as a 12 year old kid for $20 in 1953. He sold it when he joined the Army to my Uncle (his older brother) in 1960 for $20 the same as he paid for it. My Uncle is 89 and still has it but won't sell it. I'm thinking I might have a chance with my Cousins of buying it back. It's been in the family for 71 years. They shot it a lot growing up and it is a very accurate example. I'd like to have it back someday because it was Dad's. I bought the Henry when pestering my Uncle to buy it back didn't work after years of trying. The Henry was the closest thing I could find and buy that shares the same mystique.
you should show some more of your older 22s an older guns!
Pump action .22 rifles are cool. The best and most beautiful one is, without a doubt, the FN Trombone. Designed by John Browning, made in Belgium.
My first rimfire was a model 255 Winchester in 22WMR. Loved that gun. Like you said, they bring big money now. Cant find one for less than 750.00 now.
the first gun I ever fired was at camp Rio Vista in Texas back in 1975 they were Remmington bolt guns but needless to say I was a terrible shot, but now I can hit targets at over a mile, things have changed since then!
I would love to see your collection , let's get 1 million!
Marlin 39a was rough straight from the factory I spent a lot of time polishing the internals and have not shot it since. One day hopefully it still functions.
I recently finished restoring my grandad's gun it's a Stevens visible loader really cool gun
Looks similar to my 22 wrf take down with case....it has a Lyman sight ....pretty cool firearm
When I started with an old Remington single shot bolt action I could but a box of 50 22 shorts for 40 cents, longs for 45 cents and 50 cents for long rifle.
I have my grandfather’s Model 90 and father-in-law’s Model 62. I put may a round thru the 90 in my younger days.
I have a Rossi and my extractor broke and I could not find anyone who would work on a Rossi. So I got my dad to make a replacement part and I finished fitted it by hand file myself, I haven't shot it more than 100 shots since but it still works.
Bought the Henry...didn't like the buckhorn sight ..loved the two screw holes under it,, because it was 5 minutes to put the Skinner peep into them...then a Skinner fiber optic took over the front.. scary how accurate that set up made that rifle with CCI Standards..
I have an 1890 short only. The rifling was horrible. You couldn’t guarantee hitting a paper plate every time at 10 yards. I had liner installed and it shoots pretty well now.
If only I had 60,000 friends. Looking forward to that!
Bought a 1906 and 62 on a dnr auction. 1906 could use a reline. I shoot the 62 akot and love the pumps
I have one of the Rossi's as well (my first "real" gun). The one time I needed parts for it, I just bought the Winchester parts and they worked fine. Just something to think about if you want to get the Rossi running again.
I miss the old blaze orange cases
I have a, I think, '70s made Rossi. I got it in the '80s and the finish was not great, but no rust. I have perforated scores of soda cans with that rifle. Years later I added a sling for carrying in the boonies and had a gunsmith install a Taurus tang sight. The Rossi 62 is, as it would sound, a copy of the Winchester 62 (I foolishly traded away many years ago). The tang on the Rossi and the Winchester 62A (the ones I have seen) only have one screw so I had to have a gunsmith install the tang sight.. I recently bought a Winchester 1906 and there are two tang screws. Comparing the Rossi with the Winchester: the Winchester has a great finish. Made, I think in the 1930s, this thing must have been well cared for. Comparing the two, while the Rossi is a great shooter and solid, it does not compare with the Winchester 1906. The Winchester is much more finely machined; the Rossi is great, but the quality level is much inferior to the 1906. I love your videos.
I've got an old Rossi in much better condition in .22 WMR, what a fun gun that is!
Slamfire, accurate as hell, great to teach new shooters traditional riflegrip because the slide will slam into your thumb if you don't hold it right lol. Great little guns.
Got one, so I had to watch.
The 1906 was the very first 22 I ever shot. It was my mother’s the second 22 I ever shot was from Sears and roebuck and it was a single shot bolt action from 1936. It belong to my father.
Absolutely LOVED this video!
My first firearm experience was when I was 4, with a Winchester model 90
Mine is a bit different from yours though, as it doesn’t have the “wings” on the bolt.
My Dad told me when his Dad went to buy it, and the guy wanted $10 for it. My grandpa wouldn’t have any of that, and talked the guy down to $8. 😂
My Dad passed this .22 to me, and we still shoot it together.
It is the prized rifle in my collection!
Dad got me my first gun when he got back from Vietnam in 1974, a High Standard Sport King (model P0111?). I was 11. Still have it, it’s still in almost perfect shape. One thing that has always kinda impressed me about that rifle is the wood stock. It’s really quite nice for a not expensive gun. I mean, he was a CMSGT in the the Air Force, so it wasn’t like we were poor, but he was kindofa cheap skate, so I just don’t see him paying more than $50 for it back then.
Ice collection mate, we got to get ya up to the mill, that’s a vid I’d like to see
Have found on the 22mag if you give the cartridge another crimp the accuracy is much better, cheers Yogi ✌️🤙
Sounds like a challenge. Let’s get him to a million subs folks
The only one I have is a Stevens Visible Loader.
I have a Henry pump action and it's a nice rifle but I really wish they would make a lighter version of it.
You start to feel the weight of that heavy octagonal barrel after a while.
I’ve got a Remington 121 field master pump
This makes me want to go dig out my old Savage Stevens Visible Loading Repeater and take it to the range.
I just inherited a Rossi Model 59 in .22 mag
Winchester model 1903.. Chambered in 22Auto.
It's a great rifle my father owns. We'd love to see you do a video on it.
Man, I can't wait for you to get 52,000 more subs so I can see all your .22s!
You won’t believe me I’m sure but, after I graduated high school I wanted to buy a new firearm. I was working, had money, going to college and needed something for fun. I had trouble choising between two long guns. a rossi pump .22 styled aftre the Win. 62 snd a rossi double bbl, rabbit eared .410 shotgun. In '83 those matched so nicely. deep bluing and beautiful wood. i decided to get the .410. that .22 sold and ive never found one even close since. You sir have a .22 Rossi slide action like ive looked for off and on since then. i suppose theres more out there yet.
I was hoping you brought out a Harrington & Richardson
I missed the Taurus Model 62 (22LR) and the Model 72 (22 WMR)? I have a 72 with red dot and LOVE it!
I have a Remington 572 that’s pretty ugly. From the 70’s. Very accurate rifle. Always works
