.22 Single Shot Club?

Hve been shooting my Kimber 82Gs almost every trip to the range this year. Exceptional accuracy (at least my samples) for the price (given the right ammo).
 
I'm in:

Ballard made Winchester 1885 Low-Wall with DSTs, helm lever, MVA Schuetzen Soule sight, and 30" Douglass "airguaged" #1 taper barrel.

Probably my favorite rifle and the one I shoot the most.

Win 67, H&R pardner, a really old Savage-something bolt gun I bought at a gun show for $30, and a couple of Rossi single shots. All are accurate and great for the kids and to introduce someone to shooting. Very safe.
 
I have a Winchester 67A that my grandfather gave me. I've never shot it, but I think I'm going to next time I get to the range.

Anyone have any info on the 67A?
 
Remington model 514
Marlin youth model
CZ scout
Chipmunk .22 bull bbl. with adult stock
Chipmunk .22 mag. bull bbl.

My first rifle was the remington 514. It taught me to make every shot count. I have many .22's but lately I've been leaning more and more on the signle shots. I guess you might say I'm getting back to basics.

I bought my first chipmunk after I was injured on the job. It had a terrible trigger pull and the extractor wasn't any good. I sent it back for a new extractor and fixed the trigger myself. I have killed 2 turkeys with that rifle and a lot of coons/possums/armadillos. I bought the .22mag. and it was fine out of the box with the exception of the trigger, which I fixed.
 
Savage model 6, I think. I'd have to take a look at the barrel stamp. It was my grandfather's and it's probably about 70 years old. When I was 13 my dad gave it to me. It was pretty beat up, so I stripped and refinished the stock and removed as much rust as I could. I put two QR sling swivels in to fill empty holes in the stock, and now it's a great plinking gun. It shoots great.

Someday I'll clean up the trigger (it rides the side of the stock cut-out) and work on how the barrel and action sit in the stock.

It probably ruined whatever antique value it had, but I'll never sell it anyway, and I'd rather have a gun I like to take out and shoot than one that is "original" and sits in a closet.

well my very first gun was a remington targetmaster. that is still 1 great shooting gun. its old but man itl shoot. i love the challenge of 1 shot kills. my theory is if you cant kill it with 1 shot then you dont need to shoot.:cool:
 
Winchester 67a and WZ-48 here. Love both the rifles, and both are very accurate.
 
I'm in... Ultra Varmint .22 WMG...

Does anyone else still enjoy the slow, easy and economical pace of .22 single shots?

Yep, single shots are great fun but I love all rimfire rifles if they're accurate.

Which reminds me of the song that begins:

"Nothing could be finer shooten holes in Carolina in the mooorning..."

Best

I get a lot of enjoyment out of my single shots......

Hey Chuck R. got any more pictures of that thing? It looks really nice.

I'm not exactly "photo gifted" but here's another picture of the stock:

This is Ballard's version of "presentation" grade walnut with hand checkering. I had this .22 built to replicate my silhouette rifle with a #1 barrel due to the smaller .22 diameter. The barrel is the same length at 30" so the sight radius and "barrel time" are about the same. At 100-200 yards, the trajectory and wind corrections are pretty similar to my match gun.

I have a stevens rolling block single shot. I honestly don't remember the model, it was my grandfather's

chester what model is that? it looks very similar

Ok, it's a stevens crack shot. Anyone know what the knurled nut on the bottom of the action is for?
 
My older Brother has a wallhanger Remington rolling block takedown model . Number 4 action I think.
Its bore is rusted out from the old corrosive .22 cartridges and it was used as a Hog killer for 50 years or so. Pretty ragged.
I've considered trying to rebuild it for him, but some previous owner had hammered down the front of the receiver to make the barrel tighter, its a mess.

Thats the Takedown screw.
