lets see those rimfires

[GunnyUSMC]

Here’s another one you don’t see every day. Its a K.K.W. Made by Gustloff-Werke. If I remember right, it was made between 1932 and 1935.
I haven’t shot it in a while, but used to shoot the hell out of it every summer. I picked it up for $150 back in 1999.

Two Anschutz rifles I long used in Rimfire Silhouette competitions. At top is Model 54 MS used in standard class matches and below is M-1700 configured for "Hunting Rifle" Class matches. The color stickers on rifles and scopes were applied after rifles passed inspection at NRA National Championships. Rimfire shooters unfamiliar with Silhouette competition are often surprised by the higher magaification scopes typically used in competition: On top rifle is a16X Leupold and 24X B&L below. Target type scope adjustments are needed for accurately adjusting, and readjusting, POI's for the four different shooting distances, as are adjustable objective lens for sharp focusing. I now shoot only the Hunting rifle in both classes.

Those 500 series Remingtons are great rifles. One of my lifelong regrets is letting a 512X get away from me. I blame it on callow youth.

These are my two current rimfire rifles. Not fancy but they keep me happy. This .22LR is from 1985.

And if memory serves, this .22 WMR is from 1987. It's my all around favorite rifle. A joy to carry and shoot. It's done it's duty enough that it's trusted 100%.

I like those Zytel stocks.

My JV sniper team terminating zombies with extreme prejudice with an old Stevens "click clack."

I had a "click-claker" and shot it out. I've had some serious .22s and .17s.

Newest addition, as yet unfired. Bergara B14-R. Scope is an Athlon Midas TAC HD 6-24×50 APRS3 FFP MIL.

Hope you've fired your newest! Rifles need to be fired to impress their owners and friends.

That one was about shot out when I got it. Rusted solid, broken disconnector spring, water damaged wood, worn down firing pin, and the bolt detent ball was missing.
It shoots pretty good now.

Haven't seen a Henry AR-7, U.S. Survival rimfire in this thread yet; so here's an example. Picked it up in Jan. 2016 at a gun show on a whim. Not one of my regular shooters, just keep it as a compact, light, small game survival piece as it was intended to be. Has only had 98 rounds through it so far and all of them were accurate and the gun ran flawlessly. .. .. Most of the receiver is aluminum and the steel barrel has a plastic ABS coating on it so there's not much to worry about rust-wise. What else is nice is how quick and easy it is to take down or assemble, not to mention how it all, (receiver, barrel, & 2 magazines) stores inside the buttstock when taken down. . .. Makes an easily storable unit and they claim that when broken down & stored, with the butt plate cover on, it will float if dropped into water, but I haven't tried that yet, LOL. ..Interesting gun; definitely not an average, everyday rimfire.

I had the terrible Charter Arms AR7, but Ive heard nothing but good things about the Henry version.
On the Charter AR7, the open areas inside the stock were filled with foam, and yes, it DID float- so you couldn't even be rid of it by throwing it off the boat into the gulf!

View attachment 1137925 Here's one I don't have anymore. It's a Mossberg 51m. Most finicky rifle I've ever owned, and ultimately why I sold her.

I have oneof those too, totally unreliable. I never could get it to shoot ten in a row. Once in a while it would go full auto and buzz through 5 ir 6 before it jammed up again..
It belonged to my grandpa.

Woah! That thing is dangerous!

It's too bad, because they're beautiful rifles.

I love all the rimfires. Some of these I have never seen before.

Dagnabbit! Even the proverbial "boating accident" won't work.

Got your money's worth out of that baby!

Got your money's worth out of that baby!

I think when I got it, they were selling for around $300. Now they are selling for over $2000. So I have gotten my money’s worth out of it. I don’t know if I’ll sell it one day or give it to one of my kids.

When I was running Rimfire Benchrest Matches at Capitol City Range in Augusta, ME, some folks didn't have rifles that were half-way competitive in the non-sanctioned "Plinker Category", so I modified my 581 to work better for benchrest Plinker Class. Several people used it with good results and caught "The Bug" for Rimfire Benchrest as the result! At 50 yards/meters, it grouped about 0.5" or less with several kinds of target ammo. (My gunsmith down South (who has since retired, I believe) had some trial barrels on his own heavy benchrest rifle. He turned down one and installed it on my Rem 581 at very low cost. It worked well for me, making some very impressive groups.) (The funny thing about the barrel is that the gunsmith discovered that the problem with his rifle wasn't barrel-caused, so my barrel is just as good as the one he ended up with.)

A brick of ammo tends to evaporate when my two grandsons take this Grade II Browning to the range..

 

[Condor]

My son and I had this out for some practice today…we had a beautiful spring afternoon. It is one of my favorites…a Marlin model 25 MN that I bought from a friend the year after we moved back here. It was a bit of a treat for myself after getting the house finished (i thought it was finished at the time, and am still working on it 15 years later).

This is surprisingly accurate and has been good for keeping the garden clear of varmints and nice plinking walks.

It's "Grandkid magic"!!!! Nobody can make ammo disappear quicker than them. Be thankful they're shooting safely and enjoying your hobby too.
