What was your first .22 rimfire?

[Racer Doug14]

Ruger 10/22. I had my Savage 17hmr before I got the 10/22.

I'm noticing a fairly consistent pattern here that most of us still have our first .22.



And where did you get a Ruger 12/22? Mine was only 10 shot

Fat fingers on small cell phone keys!!!!Besides, never heard of a double tap??

Ha! Awesome

If there’s ever a civil war, there’ll be a remarkable number of tube fed Marlins zinging lead across the countryside.

My 6A has a tube as well

Mine is probably one of my least "valuable" guns, but it means a lot to me. My son, one of my daughters or one of my grandchildren will end up with it.

Ruger 10/22 carbine. First gun I ever bought, got it at Best Products

When and which store? I may have sold it to you.

First was shooting my Dad's Remington 510, single shot, bolt action. We put Lyman peep sights on it for me to shoot NRA Marksmanship Badges with. We still have that rifle.

First one that was mine, Marlin 99C (fancy version of the classic Model 60) that was a Christmas present when I was 11. I also got a Weaver V22 scope with it. Still have the combo.

Next was a Ruger 10/22 from Best Products, when I worked there. Still have that also, but it has been "tweaked" a BIT.

My grandfather's old Marlin Tube fed bolt action. Can't remember the model

Best guess is 1989, location was at the one on Parklawn Drive in Rockville.
Still have it and haven’t done anything to it. Was actually thinking of selling it since I haven’t shot it in forever. I have a 50th Anniversary model and a Ruger American Rimfire that I shoot normally.

Nope, I worked at the one near Security Square Mall. One winter/Christmas season in college.

I think I paid about $60 for my first one. Just bought another one for $230.

Remington 552. Bought in 1957 with cash from my paper route and pop bottle returns. Still got it, and still driving tacks.

 

[dementlr]

Remington Nylon 66. My father later sold it, but and I finally have one of my own thanks to gun broker.

 

[durkspunk2112]

Marlin model 60. Bought it at Best Products on Parklawn Dr. in Rockville. Paid about $65. Used it this past weekend.

My parents still live in Twinbrook on Ardennes near there. When I was in HS at Rockville High, I used to get stuff from there, WC Bell and Evans jewelers. I did not know Best Products sold 10/22s. Neat...

 

[nomade]

Savage 6a semi. Used to be my father's.
I still have it back home.

 

[Swaim13]

First 22 rifle I fired was a weatherby mark xxii. I will eventually inherit the rifle and it is a tack driver.

First 22 rifle I bought was a 10/22. Still have the rifle.

Mine was a Savage (dont remeber model number) I bought it for 99 bucks from Sports Authority back in 1998. Loved the gun. Some crack heads/ pill heads broke into my parents house when i was in college and stole it.

 

[JohnnyE]

Marlin Model 39A, wish I still had it... fred55

I'm the only other micro grove 39A guy in this thread. My pop got it as a lad in the '40's, and I got it from him, and happily, still have it.

First .22 was Browning T bolt. Fifty-seven dollars. I was 9.


First one I bought myself was a Ruger 10/22.
