22 is my favorite caliber

Post by Henry88 » Thu Aug 30, 2018 12:33 am

Yes I stole dddrees' subject, cause I had intended to do the same thread, but about rifles. Rimfire rifles.

So I shamelessly stole his title because I feel the EXACT same way about rifles. I may have some that mean more to me, for whatever reason, but when it just comes down to shooting, and especially having fun, it's impossible to beat the .22.

I'm not evens sure it matters be it a lever, bolt, or auto. They all rock IMHO :D

I agree, 90% of my guns are 22's. In fact all are except my carry pistols and one 45/70 rifle.

Doing a quick count in my head I come up with at least a dozen different 22 rifles and handguns in the safes at this time. Yes I do love the 22 rimfire! :D

I'd say over 60% of our guns are 22s and we have a LOT of guns.

My new SGC has reaffirmed my love of .22, but I did put my really nice 10/22 up for sale recently. Only because I’d really like to replace it with a .357 Big Boy CCH Carbine!

Can't say I have a favorite caliber. My best shooting (and most used) firearms are my Henry .30-30 and Mossberg .410. My .22s (S&W and Rossi) don't get used very much. Likewise with my .32s, .45 and 12ga.

So can I really, really have another .22?

I've lost count, but it seems like a very, very deep gun cabinet! :lol:

How many handguns do you have?
How many long guns do you have?
Don't know where you fit in air guns....

Do you have crossbows, too?? ;) (Just kiddin').
Better to just stick to firearms.

I think my SGC is fantastic, but it's the only 22 I have, so there's not another 22 to compare it to.

SO, for all you 22 collectors/hobbyists, is it fair to ask what your FAVORITE 22 Rifle is?
