Which manufacturers currently produces an adult sized single shot 22 rifle.
I have seen many youth models, but they are too small.

There was somebody making a reproduction Winchester 1902 but that is still a pretty dinky little rifle and not cheap.
The Savage 1G looks full size by proportions in the picture at:

Frankly, I think a CZ452 with single shot adapter in the magazine well would be the best shooter unless you just MUST have a true single shot.

Anschutz, Remington (at least they used to), Marlin's 39A......
Remington makes a 40X in rimfire, also.
This replica Rolling Block is available special order in .22: http://www.iar-arms.com/rolling.htm

Thanks for the info. I have taken a look at the offerings so far.
The Savage is quite appealing, and isn't too short. Right under 40". And the price is reasonable.
Otherwise I think the CZ would be the best choice.
No need for a semi-auto 22 right now.

Wait...
Did you mean single-shot, or manual-action?
Manual action opens up a big list. Single shots are a lot more obscure.
For a manual-action .22LR rifle, I'd say the 39A is my hands-down overall favorite, taking everything into consideration.

I thought Varner went out of business in the '80s after making about 500 rifles, but what do I know.

I would like a single shot rifle. If it proves too difficult/expensive to make that happen, I would like a manual action 22LR.
My preference otherwise would be a tube magazine like the 39 and my 336.
The 39A looks like a great gun. Not having fired one, I am curious about the accuracy. Although, every Marlin I have fired was more than sufficient in this respect. If it will hit a 12oz can at 50 yards, well, thats more than I would ask of it really.

My 39A, while VERY accurate, had issues with the firing pin - had to be replaced twice and still had problems always striking primers hard enough.....it eventually went away
If total accuracy is what you seek, the Anschutz or 40-X will do the job, but they aren't cheap

I see that the T/C Encore got mentioned, but the venerable Contender merits being noted also...

IMO, it depends on what you are planning to do with the rifle. If you're looking to shoot targets or hunt, single shot or manual action work and work well. You'll get the crowd that says you cannot do any type of hunting without a rifle capable of holding 50+ rounds. Truth is, one bullet in the right place is all you need. Growing up, I shot so many chipmunks, red squirrels and gophers with a single shot .22 that I'd bury them with their tails sticking out of the ground so I wouldn't dig the old ones up.
If you're looking to teach a child about shooting, a single shot is the only way to go. Again, I'll have people argue this but a single shot has nothing but advantages when teaching the fundamentals of holding a rifle and aiming.
Get a Savage and enjoy.

Well said. A quick reason I'd like to own a single shot. First off, my granddad kept a rifle similar to the Savage Mark 1g over his bed, but it was actually a Stevens. I put many boxes of ammo through that weapon and enjoyed it simplicity. Killed birds and squirrels well too.
This firearm will be for hunting small game at closer distances, target practice, and teaching others how to handle a rifle correctly. That said, the CZ is a very nice looking rifle. Never had the chance to fire one though. But I hear only good things about them.
Great, now I need two

Does that 1 round magazine adapter for the CZ 452 work with any of their other rimfire models?
Jim Watson

I won't say all, but most of the CZ .22s are really on the same action, differing only in barrel, stock, and sights, so the adapter should be pretty... adaptable.
I feel your pain.
It gets even worse if you start looking around the CMP. (Garand fever)

Yes it works with all of them. It works with the BRNO series of rifles also.

Look for an old Remington Model 41. Gunbroker had a couple of them. I have my dad's made back in 1937. I used to lay pop bottles on their side and shoot the bottoms out. I got paid $85 a summer to keep the gopher population in check at the cemetary across the road from the farm. Now with the trifocals I have the choice between front and rear sight clear or front sight and target clear. No go on all three but I don't want to drill and tap it for a scope.

Why not look for a good used .22, an older better built one?
