Been sellig off some of my guns and stuff

[muggsy]

I also had an Anshutz, I think it was a mod. 64 in .22mag, with the shapnel (sp) forend tip. It was on and off on accuracy, so I floated the barrel and then started to add shims until I was happy. But .22 mag is too expensive to plink with. Does your's have the double extractor hooks?
I don't consider this an old friend since it's been sitting in the back of the gun safe for so many years.
I don't know how much further back I want to go into the safe. I'm afraid I'll end up in Narnia

I need to go back in there. There's my very first gun my father bought for me when I was 8 yrs. old. I think it's a Rem mod. 341 bolt rifle. It's a tube feed that shoots .22 shorts, longs, and l.r. It was made around 1936.

Yes, my Model 54 does have the double extractor hooks. It's a man sized .22 that has brought more of the main ingredient of squirrel stew to bag than I can remember. With high velocity hollow points it has taken down quite a few woodchucks, too. The accuracy is outstanding.

JG, Don't let any of these horse traders and mule skinners horn swaggle you out of your Kimber. It's the only .22 sporter that I'd even consider swapping for my Model 54. Bawanna, have you no shame?

[Bawanna]

I hate myself.

I have a Winchester 52C that I'm quite partial too, I only submit this to muddy the waters and add confusion since I was thinking of it when you said 54 but it's actually a 52 not to be confused with a 54 which is a large caliber bolt rifle predecessor to the Model 70 and a fine rifle in it's own right. Had one but it got away.

Sure, I have a 10-22, if a swap is desired. I can understand wanting to get rid of a rifle like this one, what with the obsolete wood stock and nothing tactical about it. The market prefers composite (plastic) these days. I can accommodate an upgrade to something "tactical" if you prefer that to cash.

I must be a hoarder too. Never sold a gun yet. I was starting to have a hard time getting rid of that jeep too after everybody showed me their toys. But, it sure took up a lot more room than a gun!

I really already have a tricked out, by my standards, 10-22. I did a trigger job, jeweled the bolt. And then I bedded the receiver and shimmed the fore end as needed. With the factory barrel the accuracy is pretty impressive. It's a -1" 50 yd. gun, but after that it looses it. The Kimber is a 75+ yd. 1" gun.

I've also had this beater for a while that so far I filed off the front sight and filled in the rear sight dove tail. I may get a bullpup stock for it and give it to my grand daughter

Got any pictures?

You know he was talking about his Savage/Anshutz Model 54, right?

[Bawanna]

Yup I was stuck in my head on the model number and not the brand.

52, 54, same thing ya know.

I'll take some pics of the dreaded 52 when I get home shortly.

Err, I mean I'll look for some old photo's from before the boating accident. I still miss her.

[Alfonse]

Those are some beautiful .22's! I just couldn't help myself when I saw those pictures of that beautiful Kimber. It looks so nice it could be one of Greg's guns!

At any rate, no, if I owned it I would not sell it. However, if I found it for sale, I would certainly try to buy it, as you may have noted.

BTW, I just read elsewhere in KT that Bawanna wants a Desert Eagle .50 too. I just focus on one gun wanted at a time (although I do reserve the right to rapidly shift that focus).

Warne of Kimber? I think if it's the same guy, last I heard he was in Costa Rica. He was partners with someone else making pistol grips. He made me a set of checkered grips for
my carry 1911 that the points are flattened. Makes for a solid grip but no sandpapering the lining of you jacket or your skin. I don't think they offer this mod.

I met him at the Clakamas OR. factory. There is a little history between this rifle, Greg, and myself, not a big thing.

I use to try and focus on one gun, not I'm more mature and realistic and try to focus on maximum of 10, but I reserve the right to adjust that focus at any time as well.

[tv_racin_fan]

WELL! I feel kinda left out with the fine 22 rifles thing now... best I have is a simple ole Marlin single shot bolt action 100g.

I think he was watching the Handguns TV show. They just did a Desert Eagle episode where they were shooting through cinder blocks

[Alfonse]

It is all fun though! My focus may not be as laser like as I made it sound in that every few seconds I can be thinking of a different gun I could need.

The Greg I was referring to is one of the moderators here, gb6491. His guns, and photos, always make me drool.

On the DE .50, I could be happy just renting one of those for an afternoon!

AND, Marlins are nice guns. I especially like the old ones. What does it look like?

[tv_racin_fan]

It don't look bad at all in this kinda blurry photo...



Fella on another forum was talking about a scope for a 22. Aint nothing special, just a 3x9 Bushnell with adjustable objective (this may be the only scope I own on a rifle that cost less than the scope). So I ordered one and when it got to the house and installed I find that the bolt can not come out for cleaning.. so I order some taller mounts BUT I know the cheek weld wont be right so I order a Blackhawk cheek rest. The rifle was picked up in a pawn shop for less than $100 with a couple issues that I solved with an order from numrich gun parts. I need to refinish the stock and try free floating the barrel and bedding the action.

Looks pretty good to me! Love messing with .22s, they can pretty much all make me smile. I bet you can shoot S,L or LR with that one. With a subsonic round, it is probably no noisier than a pellet gun.
