I have been bitten by the rimfire bug. Here are two newly acquired "Classics" I have added
-
Hey TCups...A nice pair of rifles...Is the bottom one a Browning? Watch that rimfire bug..he gets expensive. My collection stopped at 23. After building four 10/22s,I put my wallet away.. :) Duh....I just read the caption under the picture.

Good, you're gonna really enjoy it. I have a Savage 19 NRA, built between 1919 and 1936 I believe, in "excellent" (not mint) condition, - taking that out to 100 yards is really enjoyable. I had holes drilled/tapped for a rail, and mounted a scope. Most days at the range I put about 80-100 rounds out, - and have pretty much given up any other powder burners. IMO, Savage Arms are WAY under-rated. This thing has a 28" barrel - and is a joy to shoot. Reports are it can hold 1/2" groups at 100 yards, - clearly done by someone else though. ;)

2 fine rifles. Have owned both. Currently have a 1947 Marlin 39A. Don't shoot it though, just keep it wiped down.
-
Both are some beautiful rifles Tommy and I think that isn't wasn't a bug that bit you but a snake hehe. Ed

Very nice ones!

What Shadow typed.....I'm planning to pick up a Marlin 981T....a tube fed bolt action and a Savage MKII G....10 shot clip bolt action. Also want a Marlin lever action 39A....and Browning T-Bolt and BLR (Browning Lever Rifle)...all in .22lr of course. But the last three on my list is over $500.00CAN....each, so most likely I won't get them...yeah, I'm a cheap person!!!!
-
two beautys right there TCups! That Marlin looks similar to one my grandfather used to own. Those RFs can become expensive after awhile tho!
-
Can't have to many rimfires. Those are beauties.
-
Tommy, congrats on your two fine classics. I believe everybody ought to have and shoot a .22"rifle". As much as I love my air rifles, there's a lot to love over in the rimfire world.
-
I came from the opposite direction. Rimfires to air guns. Think I have a bit more in the air guns now. Nice guns there. Happy birthday to you, by any chance?
-
Very nice Rimfires T.
Nothing wrong with having good rimfires in your collection !!!!!
I still have the late 50's Winchester 77 that was my first powder burner as a kid. I've been hunting Squirrels with it for 45 years now and of all the guns I've had, it's stilll my favorite.

That'a a nice little Browning you have there Tcups. I have one that I bought new about 40 years ago. They were made in Belgium back then and they had dove tails for a scope machined into the reciever, I think I paid $60 for it. I saw one new at Bass Pro Shops and they wanted over $450 for it, Wow things have changed. Have fun shooting those rim fires.
