Humble brag! Have a Win 61, Browning Trumbone...even slimmer than the 61, Marlin Golden 39M and Nylon 66 Apache Black and Chrome.
Was broke after Dad passed in the 80's and had to sell about a complete collection of Colt Woodsman/ Huntsman, Win 63 and 9422M. I regret the hell out of that! |

F-11 a FAMAS rifle in .22 lr
not the armi italian sorta clone. This is a 1:1 scale clone in plastic used to train french troops. I think some have been imported but have never seen one for sale |

A nice 39A or 39M. Had a 16 inch take down I bought when I was 18 and sold when I was 21 a long time ago. That same gun on Gunbroker is usually floating around 1K or more.
I wish I had that gun and the girlfriend that went shooting with me. Good times. |

I pretty much have my grail gun , a Kimber 82 Custom Classic. A BSA Martini MKIII is still pretty high on the list though.

Quoted: Yes, I would like to find one is very good to excellent condition and snap it up. I do have its semi-auto brother, the 552 Speedmaster, circa 1958-59. https://i.postimg.cc/1zwwBx7q/D24-BDEFA-7-A18-4196-90-BF-68-FD998-CCE62.jpg View Quote This. This right here is my grail .22. When I was a younger man sewing my wild oats I was working for .mil and was being transferred all over the country I sold most of my guns. Not family heirlooms, but guns I purchased, hardly ever used, and mostly just schlepped around the country. I have spent years searching for replacements and re-acquiring them. I am down to the Speedmaster, a 10/22 in .22 wmr, a Sako L579 (I believe) Forester in .308, and a Winchester semi auto in 16 gauge. Your 552 is a bit older than mine was at a 1960 model, but the wood on the older examples could be spectacular. Jelly |

Mine was, (until 5 years ago) the Ruger M77/22 in Stainless with the synthetic stock.
Its been in my safe since then and gets used during Grouse season and the occasional squirrel outing. The other I have lusted after for many years is the Marlin 39A or whichever model of that I can find. Alas---they are as Hens teeth, where I live. |

I received my first .22 for my 12th birthday (61 years ago) a take down Winchester M1890 in .22short... it came from an Uncle in Gibsonton, Fl and had been a gallery rifle in a carnival... my Grail 22 was a Browning auto loader that I could not afford as a kid... got it and the Ruger Bearcat about 5 years ago, and have shot them only a couple of times each...

Winchester pump in .22 Short.
I already have a Model 62 in that chambering, given to me by my stepfather for safekeeping until my son is older. I'd like a second one for my daughter. I also have a 1906 I thought would work, but it needs a new stock, new/lined barrel, and general restoration. My smith doesn't think it's worth saving.

Quoted: Winchester Model 52. The classic .22 bolt gun. One in close to new in box condition would be priceless in my view. I have some nice classic .22lr rifles, but that one eludes me. This a Remington 541-S Custom Sporter I inherited is pretty nice. I’ve since rescoped it with a modern higher powered scope, but the Vari-X 2-7x was original and period correct to the rifle. https://i.postimg.cc/Jh9DdYVw/DDC21-B5-E-A92-A-409-C-9972-DD901-BA81598.jpg View Quote Remington 541-S for the win. I have one and there is no doubt it has the most trigger time on it. I would advise you to find one. |

Quoted: No love for Remington 40x? View Quote Scratched it, bought a 40x and a 40xb from CMP. (the 40x is the 722 based action with straight bolt and the B model is on the 700 action with the bent bolt) Also got a 52C but had to refinish the stock. The xb was perfect as I got it!

When I was a kid I had a Remington 581, loved that bolt gun. I " replaced " it with a lovely 541T.
Had the itch for marlin 39. Now i have a 39m n.r.a. edition and a beautiful 39AS. Oh and an Annie 64 H.B with a 5908 trigger, it's a range toy due to the stupid light trigger. |

I'll probably buy new. |

The last time I looked, even the Norinco clones were within a couple hundred dollars of a nice Browning-when you're getting well over $500 for a .22, suck it up and buy the real thing if they're that close together.

Quoted: I have shot one of those Anschutz 1827 Biathlon rifles, pretty sweet bolt throw. Much nicer than the Baikal.

BRNO Model 4 with aperture sights. It was my very first firearm. Purchased it from a Shotgun News Ad and it was the perfect 22 for target shooting from a bench. Too bad my brother stole it for drug money.

Remington 34. My first gun, I took a lot of squirrels and rabbits with it. Our house burned down when I was in high school and the gun was a destroyed. One day I’ll find another one. My son was given a marlin 39 a couple months ago. The rifle was taken apart and the guy couldn’t get it back together. We messed with it a bit and still can’t figure it out.

They're not exactly rare, but I always thought Stevens Favorites were neat little guns. About 10 years ago I bought a stripped receiver on a whim, and a few days later I stumbled across a bunch of internal parts minus the screws. I then bought a new stock set and a repro barrel from Numrich.
A couple weeks ago I finally got around to ordering screws from Wisners, so I put it together and tested the function. Everything works, although haven't installed the firing pin yet and so it hasn't been test fired. I also had a Hi-Lux Malcolm scope that had been laying around for years that had been intended for another project, so I stuck that on the Stevens barrel. I still need to finish inletting the stock, it's about an 80% fit as is. The receiver had been reblued at some point in its life and the markings on the top are kind of faint but readable. It has a little very light pitting on the sides and I've debated cleaning those up and rebluing again, but I'll probably just leave it. The lever, block, hammer, and trigger need to be blued to match the receiver once I get everything in 100% working order. I could have bought a complete rifle for less than I have into this, but it's been a fun project. Attached File Attached File |
