Freedom Arms 97 22LR
Freedom Arms 97 22LR
Can't remember how I actually first became aware of Freedom Arms but ever since I thought about getting one. For a 22 LR it may be a bit overbuilt but over built and heavier firearms work well for me and 22 is what I find myself shooting mostly. Really like the grips on this one as well.

Another nice one for sure! I first heard of Freedom Arms in the Joe Pickett series books.

Re: Freedom Arms 97 22LR
At one time I had 3. I now have just one. Its in a 41mag. I havent shot it much but they are well built and pricey. I wanted one in 22 for quite sometime but I have just not ever bought one yet.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Not yet, I just picked it up Friday and have been rather busy. When things settle down a bit and I plan on getting to the range soon.

Re: Freedom Arms 97 22LR
Pricey but as you said well built and more than worth it if you ask me. This could have very well been my 357 Revolver instead of my Ruger Blackhawk but since I shoot 22 more often I figured I would get much more enjoyment getting a 22 LR. Unlike some folks I have no issues spending more money on 22 guns as I spend way more time with 22 than anything else.

Re: Freedom Arms 97 22LR
Used or new? Where did you find it? Freedom Arms is notorious for having very long waiting lists on their revolvers. The 97 22 LR Silhouette version just about owns the rimfire revolver class, these days. Great revolvers.

It's new, and I guess I got lucky. I wasn't aware they were that difficult to find but I came accross this one on Guns America. Turns out the deal is from my state.

Re: Freedom Arms 97 22LR
A one-word description I've seen on the internet describes, to me, what a quality gun the Freedom Arms company produces: "Unparalleled". Rarely are there any negatives published about these accurate, well-built revolvers.
Great choice...enjoy!
