How many shoot rimfire only?

[Armored farmer]

I also am a rimfire fan. 2 Ruger Single Six's, a Ruger MKIII, and several rifles in LR and Magnum. My 4 5/8 bbl Single Six sees the most action, the only gun I own that I don't keep locked up. With the magnum cylinder it's pretty good medicine for the occasional skunk or coyote that gets too close to the house. It is what goes on the belt when I go to the woods or 4 wheelin'. I've found that I'm far more likely to actually shoot the .22 for fun than any of my c.f. guns. I feel the Single Six also keeps me in pretty good practice for my .357 or .45c Blackhawk.

Two of my most prized rifles are .22LRs. Both inherited, both from grandparents, both interesting little rifles with a ton of history. I also own a .17HM2, that I use for a target rifle, and a couple other .22s. Rimfire is great practice, and great for competition because everyone has one, and they are just plain fun to shoot (this would be a great place to mention the Monthly Rimfire Match dontcha' think ), but alas, I like all different kinds of rifles in various chamberings. I like a diversified portfolio.

Work For Me

Six Years ago I looked at higher quality .22’s and thought you would have to be a little off center to spend that kind of money on a rimfire. Got bit. Now have Rem. 37, Rem. 40x, Win 52, and others. Really enjoy sending rounds down range for hours without breaking the bank. It would seem that for me the quality walnut and blue rimfires are at the pinacle of collecting and shooting.
