My local Walmart has 555-round bulk packs of .22 for $15, but I forget what brand they are.

Most any H&R/NEF .22 Revolver is actually built surprisingly well. Mine easily has a tighter lockup than any Ruger Single Six, but generally isnt as nice a trigger. If you can find an H&R 999 (the Top Break .22) or any variation on the 676 such as the 949 or the laffo 10" 676, they are all quality built and sometimes a great bargain, even though prices have been rising on them lately. They are generally guns that you can actually find much cheaper in stores used racks than online- most online prices are higher on them whereas i've seen H&Rs for $150 and under regularly in stores. I really cannot honestly say they are in the same range as S&W and some Ruger .22s, but I think they are a very nice, often overlooked segment of revolvers. Most people dont know they are DA. I've had people shoot mine and immediately try and trade me their single six for it. http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt...?Item=137121544 This little guy looks awesome. http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt...?Item=137074976 This is my exact model, and actually a good price at $175. http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt...?Item=136573898 Again, same model as mine but nicer shape. I actually have that box and .22 Mag cylinder as well.  Haha, and the comedy option 10" 676 http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt...?Item=136790208 A finish-worn example. Edit: and the 999 H&R "Sportsman", of which prices have jumped immensely. I guess people finally realized "Holy poo poo they made a .22 Top Break i need 5" http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt...?Item=136913205 Chill_Bebop fucked around with this message at Aug 13, 2009 around 06:06 |

Well, got the rings. They fit drat nice and lack any moving parts aside from screws, since the ring's slot just tensions onto the rifles dovetail.

RU 187 261 LIB posted:How well do the Marlin 60s actually run vs the 10/22s which seem to have a reputation for reliability at least. Marlin 60 is heavier and has a longer barrel which might give you some accuracy a little further out. I find action wise, they're about equal. FTF once in a while on both the 10/22 and Marlin60 which is probably ammo related, not weapon. The 60 is tube fed and not as readily customizable. Depending on your mindset, a grab and go tube fed may be a better choice. My Marlin 60 has a 22 inch barrel so it looks like one of those long black powder rifles compared to my short little 10/22 carbine with a 16" barrel. My Marlin 60 hasn't been fired in a while and I can't honestly say that I remember it being more accurate than my 10/22. I always add this because there are people that swear just by virtue of the barrel being longer it is somehow automatically more accurate. I don't have any empirical evidence to back that up.

The only thing I want to do is add tech sights if the action, trigger and controls are okay, I don't care about mag vs. tube at this point, and the barrel shouldn't get you any more accuracy unless it's just a better-made barrel.

The trigger isn't bad, just isn't really as good as say, a S&W trigger. It doesn't really feel heavier than a Single six trigger, just tighter. It sounds weird, but on Rugers and S&Ws and Colts I always feel like when pulling the hammer and trigger back, like they are isolated, suspended pieces of meatl, but on my H&R, like they are oiled and rubbing against other components. So really the word "tighter" works out.

I don't have any empirical evidence to back that up. longer barrel has nothing to do with it (mine and most of the model 60s I see have 16" barrels) Marlin rimfires are made with their microgroove process, that has shallower grooves and lands which theoretically causes less drag and better accuracy than traditional rifling, with lower powered cartridges like .22LR 10/22s in their stock configuration, on the other hand, are frequently known to shoot dinner plate sized groups until you start replacing bits on them.

Plenty of those cci shotshells. Not sure, I'd probably only mount that far forward for a pistol/scout scope, which could be intresting if normal scoped shooting gets boring.

ShaneB posted:I'm interested if the always-touted S&W is $300 better than the $750 Beretta, though. Yes, I would say, and M.41 prices on the used market are about on par with what the 87Ts go for new. For what should come with a $700+ target pistol, the Beretta 87's trigger is terrible. One dry-fire session in a gun shop was enough to leave me permanently soured on the platform, and most cite it as the main flaw in the design. The small-frame .22s (the 101 and the 70-series models) are supposed to be pretty nice, though. If you can ever find them on the used market, that is.

My dad bought it at the same time as the gun. I think most holster/gun leather companies make a .22 gunbelt.

Just picked up a Marlin 60. All the 10/22s around here were really overpriced! Anyway, I got it for cheap because the rear sight was broken (getting Tech Sights anyway so it was ideal!) and the perfectionist in me wants to know how to remove the busted stub of the rear sight.

Kodo Zoku posted:Overpriced, meaning...? Oh all the 10/22s are probably $250 but the used ones are the same drat price because "the metal trigger guard is collectible now" and other poo poo so you cant get a used one under $210. They used to be so cheap used! Meanwhile Marlin 60s are at their usual Mosinesque prices on the used rack in abundance.

I don't know why more people don't have marlins. All of mine/my dad's are drat accurate, and nice to shoot, as well as a few other marlins I've shot. I recommend Marlin .22LR guns wholeheartedly.

Thoughts on a CZ75/85 + Kadet kit? Seems like a great combination, but I'm not sure on the use of the Kadet as a target shooting pistol. I don't ever plan on carrying, so I'm not sure what I plan to do with the 75/85....

I opened up my Marlin Glenfield 60 today and cleaned the gently caress out of it. I don't think it has ever been cleaned and it's from '72. I haven't touched the barrel though and I'm not sure what to do. Even after an hour of googling I couldn't find anything definitive. I was stupid enough to go and buy a hoppes .22 cleaning brush kit but apparently they are a complete ripoff as the brushes hurt .22s more than help them. What the gently caress hoppes? So I'm thinking about taking one of the small patches attached to a cleaning rod and running it down from the muzzle with a little solvent then later lube. I don't have a bore snake so I can't run it from the chamber end. Is this ok?

Also, if you have meaty hands or fingers the "slide" is a bitch to pull back on the already small CZ slide. I heard the Mueller APV is RimfireCentral's go-to ~$100 scope.

Anyone have a recommendation for a nice rimfire scope? I'm willing to spend up to like 100 bucks for one. It's going on my Mossberg M44us(a) if it matters. These seems well reviewed -- anyone with opinions or experiences with these particular scopes? http://www.opticsplanet.net/simmons...es-w-rings.html http://www.opticsplanet.net/bushnel...32-rimfire.html Also, as an aside, the M44 is a freakin' awesome rifle. Insanely fun and accurate, I totally recommend it to anyone looking for a nice bolt action .22 for a reasonable price. The barrel is so damned heavy you could probably melt it down and make 3 normal .22 barrels out of it. It's great. Damo fucked around with this message at Aug 20, 2009 around 08:28 |
