Favourite Rimfire Rifle?

Recommended Posts

I love Anschutz sporters built on the 54 action; the same action that their trophy-winning match rifles are being built on. That action was developped after WWII by Gehmann out of the reduced Mauser action, as was used in the DSM, the Deutsches Sportmodell.

 

I particularly like the Mannlicher stocked rifles, known as Stutzen in Europe. My favourite is an old Anschutz 1423.

What is your favourite rimfire rifle?

Anschutz M1517 that I inherited when my grandfather passed in 2010. In 2002, when the .17HMR made its debut, he had to have one, which is saying something for a guy who hasn’t bought a “new” gun since the late-1970s. He put a Leopold on it and a QD Harris bipod, fired it about 10 times, asked me if I’d clean it then told me to “hang onto it.” 

Gun is an absolute tack-driver and my favorite rimfire.

My favorite .22 rifle changes pretty often, its more like my favorite flavor of the month.   But in the long run, I keep coming back to my Browning BL-22

The action is smooth. Miroku made them very well and in Germany the Miroku rimfires and shotguns were distributed by Anschütz, Ulm for some time and branded accordingly.

I like my old JC Higgins bolt action, 8 round detachable single stack magazine.  Sold by Sears, made by Marlin, I got it new in '59.

I do like my Henry Pump 22LR, and Deluxe Lever 22 Magnum and various 10-22's, finally a Henry AR-7.

I have an old JC Higgins, also. It has a broken extractor like the one in the following video. I need to get it fixed.

I have a CZ 452 Lux that I'm partial to. It's like a mini-Mauser. If I were buying a new one I'd probably get a 455 American.

I always wanted one of these, but the stars never aligned.

I have my grandfather’s ~1955 Belgian made Browning .22 takedown.  It’s incredibly beautiful, sleek, and well balanced. Never been very reliable. 

My favorite shooter, and the rifle I plan on using to teach my little boy to shoot is my Savage MKII heavy barrel. It’s a real tack driver with the right ammo.
