Hi! So I started a 22LR collection...

[doctorg]

Hello! Looks like I'm supposed to post an intro here. As the title says, I might have a 22lr problem*cough*collection.... 4 months ago I had no firearms, now I have 2 Ruger Mark IVs and a Tippmann M4-22. Not sure how I got here, but hey, plinking is fun! Looking to pick up a red dot for the Tippmann (already have one for the Lite), and perhaps a bolt-action rifle, or maybe a 10/22, or maybe a revolver...? So many possibilities!

Also open to joining in on outdoor shooting area cleanups if they're close by!

Welcome!

I do not shoot as much as I used to shoot but I still like to shoot 2 CZ bolt action 22lr and 22wmr rifles depending on the weather and on my OLD bones!

You need to add a Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 to your collection.

I might have a 22lr problem*cough*collection..

Welcome.

A collection starts with the first piece.

I predict that you will enjoy the Ruger design for many years to come.

Excellent choice of firearms for a first time owner or somebody with many firearms... What matters most is shot accuracy, not caliber or speed, and a .22 is inexpensive to get a lot of practice with.

Welcome Aboard. Glad you found the forum.

This is the best place to hang out on the internet.

Check out the organized clean ups. It's the best way to meet the community and learn where and how to use public lands responsibly.

We are doing non ODFW supported cleanups at public forests - check the North Fork Wolf Creek Road thread in resources.

My pride and joy was a 1940-produced Colt Woodsman, still in the box with the instruction sheet. It felt just wonderful in my hand and pointed like a pointy thing. It had no preference in ammunition and on a good day was as accurate as a good match pistol, of which I had four, sharing them with Mrs tac.

I recall paying about £120 for it, but old it just before the slamdown for a tad over £900 to a dealer to send to Belgium.

3 22lrs ≠ a collection!

Maybe "a gathering"

20 22lrs = a collection!

Its a good start though!

Welcome to the addiction of plinking!

Welcome to NWFA!

Don't forget to add a long .22 also....


Not mine. I was too lazy to get in the safe this morning.

Welcome. Looking at your photo reminds me of the old knight in the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade movie: "You chose... wisely."

Welcome. Collecting can be hazardous to the pocketbook but great fun. Check out the S&W model 41 (if you can find one) if you want the finest accuracy (IMHO) in a .22 pistol.

Thanks for the warm welcome y'all!

I held one in the store next to the Tippmann Elite and it seemed plastiky. Probably not the best criteria for selection, I'd like to shoot one and see what it's like

yep! It's so nice to have a whole magazine cost like $1. Makes spending time at the range feel more fun and less like lighting money on fire (though it still is!)

Lol! Yep, my long-lost brother. Heard he might have switched to monorail sales.

I like that! "A gathering of 22s"

I've seen some on Gunbroker but they seem crazy expensive! Is it really that much nicer than the S&W Victory?

Welcome aboard. I luv me some .22s, 12 rifles and 8 pistols, The .22's use to be the gateway drug to SKSs. PAX
