As the title says, I'm hopelessly addicted to rimfire guns and shooting. Finally added a SGC .22lr a couple weeks ago, and go a Golden Boy .22lr for my 16yo daughter last week.

Other than shooting; I also do a lot of kayak fishing, riding my Harley, Jeep stuff, and retired from the USAF almost 5 years ago.

Welcome

The majority of my fairly modest collection of firearms are rimfire. Numerous reasons why but yes rimfire is fun and better yet it cost less as well.

Welcome from California Cowpokey!

Do you have any rimfires other that 22lr?

Tim
One in .22 short, it's an original 1890 Winchester pump manufactured in 1911. All of the others are .22lr. My dad really wants a Golden Boy in 22 Mag...I tried finding one for him last week while the folks were here visiting (from Missouri), but none of the LGS had one in stock.

First off Thanks for your service. Welcome to the forum and glad you joined us. The SGC in 22 is one of my favorite Henrys. I have both versions 22 and 22 mag.

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.......

Would your dad consider a .22LR, then shooting CCI Mini-Mag (or similar)?

Nope, he only wants a 22 Mag.
