When I had my shop fire a few years back, I lost all of my guns. I am not a gun enthusiast, just looking for a good 22 rifle and later a shotgun. I just need them for varmits, I am not a hunter. Just need to get rid of some turtles and chicken getters. any suggestions?
 
I've got a Remington 597, and it's a pretty good little rifle. That aside, if I had a chance to buy a Ruger 1022, cheap, I'd take it over the 597 any day of the week.
 
I have a Remington Speedmaster 552. It's a great gun. It can shoot shorts and longs semi-auto and it's very accurate. More accurate than me at least. I've owned it about 40 years, bought it used.
 
Gunsmith buddy recommended a Ruger 1022 which I love. Don't know guns like a lot on here but it seems to be a fine piece.
 
You should not have a problem finding a good used gun in this state. I bet four guys where I work have one for sale each.
 
I recomend a Ruger 10/22.
That is the Chevy 350 of 22's.
249.00 at Walmart. Semi auto with all kinds of aftermarket accs..
Just my recommondation.
 
Most any semi auto tube or clip feed guns work well. I tend to stay away from the name brand guns like Ruger due to the cost. The gun I use most for varmints is a simple 410 that cost me around $100 ten or so years ago
 
If you keep your guns in shop you might want to take a look at Stainless steel guns. In your semi autos the Ruger 10/22, Marlin 60 ss and in an older gun the Remington 550-1 ( this rifle will shoot shorts, longs, and long rifle). In a bolt action Ruger makes the American or the 77/22. Marlin makes a XT 22 with a tubular magazine that will shoot shorts, longs,and long rifle. I have the 10/22 and the Marlin 60ss and the marlin with the longer barrel has a better sight radious. The Ruger 77/22 is a hard rifle to beat in a 22 bolt action but is not a cheap rifle.
 
Cz makes some nice rifles. I have a CZ Brno 611 22 mag semi-auto. Nice shooting rifle but is fussy whe it come to what ammo you put through it. It seams to like CCI ammo better than any of the others ( Winchester is the worst).
 
My son and I both have ruger 10-22 excellent quality for the money as stated by others already ,Go Ruger 10-22 you can not go wrong. WE have 9 Rugers in this family of four members, We like American quality guns, They also have a life time warrtany
 
Ruger is good about repairing their fire arms but they do not have a lifetime warranty. Once a fire arm is discontinued and parts run out they don't have to repair it. Go to Rugers sight and it will hell all about it.
 
The Ruger 10-22 is what you need. Simple, easy to maintain and not expensive if you stay close to the lower end of the series.
 
The Chevy 350 of 22s? I don't think it could be more well put. In fact I even call them that and I don't even own one. The fact that everyone else does, however, says a lot.
 
(quoted from post at 23:18:35 03/21/15) Don't take this as a recomendation, but I have 3 Ruger 10/22's. Ruger guns are hard to beat for the money.

I agree. For a day in, day out chore rifle a 10/22 is hard to beat. Very dependable, light, easy to use and a zillion accessories and spare parts.
 
Like you I don't hunt, just wanted a little protection and something for the kids to target partice with. Nothing fancy, just cheap. All the gun shops say for cheap go to walmart.
PUMA BUNTLINE 22LR‏ pistol from rural king $250?? Almost looks like a rifle.
remmington 870 12g walmart,$300
 
I'll second the Ruger 10-22. Have one - love
it. Terrrific gun for farmers, varmenteers, and
small game hunters. I have a scope on mine, and
find it very accurate.

That said, I was given a little Savage Mark II,
a dandy little gun. No frills, bolt action. See
a lot of 4H shooting sports competitors using
them. (in a single shot mode)

As far as shotguns, I would suggest looking at
H&R (New England Firearms). They have a line of
single shot break action shotguns and rifles.
Great little guns, all, and for about half the
price, most can be rebarreled with another
barrel, to change caliber, or gauge.
 
The thing to look for in a .22 is the magazine , I have an old Winchester tubular magaxine, is hard to load in a hurry. The Ruger 10-22 has the detachable mag and can be stored unloaded but put into service fast, good when the critter is getting away. my 2 cents joe
 
In a 22 bolt I like the Kimber or Ruger 77/22. They both are very accurate right out the box.I am impressed with the 77/22 it is as accurate as my Kimber and at two thirds the cost of a Kimber. I bought the 77/22 in around 1986 for a little over $300.00 and today they are over $900.00.
 
Great price. I'm impressed. How much expense is involved in having to have it shipped through a dealer, if you've done it that way before? I've bought a lot of magazines and accessories like pistol and revolver grips from CDNN. They're very reliable, and have good prices, in my experience.

I have had a Ruger 10/22 since the early 80's with no problems except someone else wanted it worse, he made it 3 blocks and ran right into a cop coming out of the alley, I went to the police station and got it back, still works fine.
 
I have a Marlin Model 60 with a tubular magazine that holds 17 rounds, which is to say 18 with one in the chamber. More recently manufactured Model 60s have a 15 shot capacity. I agree that it's tedious to reload the rifle because you have to actually put the cartridges into the rifle---you can't load a bunch of magazines in advance, or put the rifle down while you reload. That said, the need for a quick reload because a critter is getting away is the same kind of reasoning which is used to justify high capacity semi-automatic handguns over revolvers: You never know when you'll have to protect yourself against a murderous outlaw motorcycle gang of more than six members. Could it happen? Certainly. Will it happen? It could, and it wouldn't change the odds that much to say it might happen on the same day you win the Powerball lottery. A critter running away just when you need to reload? Of course it could happen---but haven't you already missed it 18 times with my Model 60, or 10 or 11 times with your 10/22?

I'm not trying to start an argument (for a change), just making an observation. I think you should buy what you want, and not base your gun purchases on circumstances that are highly unlikely, or your retirement plan on winning a lottery.

I use a.410 snake charmer with wood a stock ( replaced the orignal plastic) more than anything else around the place for varmints. I have one of those elastic shell holder on stock that holds 6 shells. 1-2 1/2" deer slug, 1-3" ooo buck,2-3" no.5 and 2-3" 71/2 that covers about anything I will run into around hear. The 410 is a nice gun to handle and a very light recoil .
 
The one I have is an H&R tamer in 410 single shot flip open barrel and has the plastic stock with a clip to hold 4 extra rounds. One hand gun and I have a flash light taped to the barrel so that I can aim in the dark. It hits right where the beam of light is
 
You know that the tubular magazine rifles don't need to take as long to load any more. They do make a speed loader for .22 cal. tubular magazine rifles ( 120 round capacity) and it's not expensive.Stan I have a Marlin model 60 ss with micro groove barrel and they are a nice shooting rifle.
 
Old I think H&R bought out the company that made the snake charmer. The Snake charmer was a break action gun with a 18 1/2" barrel and came with a plastic pistol grip stock which I replaced with a wood shotgun stock. I don't do much shooting at night and if I have to I have enough lighting to light up my whole yard( 1 1/2 acre).
 
The H&R tamer has a 19 inch barrel and has the pistol grip and a should stock combo. Where I live I get a lot of Armadillos and opossums and racoons at night. I have 44 acres so hard to light up much area and the racoons and opossums I get right on the front porch where has a light but limited range
 
We have deer go through yard every night. We have some Racoons and opossums and a number of neighbors cats. I have about the same amount ground as you but they are building up all around us.
 
I never have deer in the yard area. But I have a chicken house on one side of the yard and the horse/goat barn on the other side and the garden in the middle of the yard. We feed the out door cats on the porch so that is why I get the racoons and opossums on the porch
 
I found bolt action and falling block action rifles to be more accurate than semi-automatics. They also consumed far less ammo.

Did you have a budget range in mind, or is your insurance payment the limit?
 
I would buy a 17HMR instead of a 22. The ammo seems easily available and it has a little more energy. Savage has a good line of bolt action rifles with scopes already mounted and they also just come out with a semi auto 17HMR. I have heard of people shooting critters to coyotes with the 17HMR.

17HMR is a cool round. Got one for my non hunting son (he likes to shoot). Hit a crow at 260 yards with it. If you hit a gopher with it at 100 yards it just goes "poof".
 
My new American Rifleman (by the NRA) just came and their rifle of the year (Golden Bullseye Award) is a Ruger product (.22) called the "Ruger American Rimfire". It takes the 10/22 rotary magazine and is bolt action. Looks like a nice gun, composite stock.
 
The Ruger American is a cheaper .22 cal. for people that don't want shell out the money for the more expensive rifle.Ruger has built the bolt action 77/22 since 1984 and and it uses the ten shot rotary magazine and will take the 5 shot Ruger rotary magazine.
 
google QUIK-LOAD ...There is a fellow (Kevin Jensen) I think in Sioux Falls that invented, and is marketing a 17 round speed loader for tube magazine 22s. They also work for .17HMR, or .22 WMR. Slick as a whistle, and they work.
 
d beatty,

Not only nice shooting, but good looking too. Very graceful.

Not that I've got anything against the way the 10/22 looks. It's got that WWII/Korean war look that I really like in a military weapon.

And in 10 or 20 years what are the chances you will still be able to get 17HMR? Maybe, maybe not. If we even have guns in 20 years, you WILL be able to get 22LR. OTOH, the 17 rim fires may well go the way of the 25 Stevens, 5mm RF, 8mm Remington, 9mm Federal, 6.5 Rem Mag, 41 AE, 401 Power Mag, etc. Even finding more common rounds like the 250 Savage, 6mm/244 Rem, 257 Roberts, 25, 30 or 32 Remington, any of the Winchester SL rounds, etc is a chore these days.

Stick with the 22LR or get a small, reloadable centerfire.
 
Stan, I am with you, the Marlin model 60 is my choice. I don't know about the newer ones, but mine I got for $12 used back in about the late 70's, and it is still the first thing I grab.
 
i second CGID's suggestion of the 22/410 overunder. i have a savage and its a great little varmint gun. i have a remington nylon 66 and a marlin lever action , both have scopes. i like the savage. handy, easy to shoot and being a single shot you dont get the tendancy to machine gun shoot. mine shoots shorts, longs and long rifle. bird shot also, great for snake load. and the 410 gives you a decent selection of loads too.
 
Bret;

On the subject you've brought up here, what are your thoughts on the future of ammunition for the .41 magnum and the 10mm auto? I haven't got a .41, and I reload my own 10mm, so it's just a matter of curiosity about a topic that interests me.

Stan
 
Lots of good suggestions. As far as the best bang for your buck the Marlin 60 gets my vote. It will eat the cheapest of ammo and be cheaper and more accurate than the 10/22. If you want nice and accurate, look at the CZ 455(Lux or American) or the older stock 452's. If you want really nice and have deep pockets go for a Cooper or an Anschutz. I don't think Kimber makes a .22LR anymore, but they were beautiful !
 
You mentioned several good bolt action rifles. Kimber still makes rifles but no rimfires that I know of and they push their hand guns more than rifles.You left out one old timer in a .22 cal. bolt action and that is the Winchester Model 52. The Cooper was started by several guys that left Kimber. A nice .22 cal. semi auto is the old Remington Model 550-1 that will shot shorts,longs and long rifle and it was plain but simple rifle.

I can remember when the 41 mag came out and was all the rage. It's still a great round but just isn't "in" anymore. Same for the 10mm. The 40 S+W kinda killed it, that and the guns for it being so high to buy. A lot of people that did have the 10 didn't like the recoil. Of course back then you had about 3 factory loads and each was hotter than the other. Now it's 500 this and 500 that. Sheesh! I'm happy with my 32 Longs and 45AR in a 17 Smith, so that tells you where I'm at.

Were it me, I'd do exactly what I have done- I'd start stocking up brass. Getting 41 bras was a bear a few years back, I don't know if it's any easier now. I'd buy 500 pieces and a good set of dies. For the 10mm I'd buy 1k or 1500 'cuz you know those bottom feeding auto loaders are going to fling brass where you'll never find it.

Maybe I'm a Gloomy Gus, but I think things are going to get harder and harder for the gun owner int he future. 90% of gun owners will be sitting on the couch sucking down a beer when they outlaw guns. Those are the guys that just can't be bothered to write letters and make phone calls. They will be why we lose our guns.
 
Granting that there's been a pinch on all ammo for a bit now (though that shows signs of easing in many cases and places) I haven't had any more difficulty in getting .41 brass than any other caliber beyond the super-common ones. While the "middle magnum" never really caught on, it still maintains quite a cult following, and enough people still chamber guns for it that I think it will be a while before ammo gets scarce. The big thing the .41 has against it is that it doesn't share a caliber with any other common round, which means that bullets in particular have to be made just for that gun. The 10mm, at least in the lower weights, shares bullets with the hugely popular .40 S&W, so these can be used if necessary. The 10mm has underwent quite a resurgence lately, with many companies (SIG being the latest) offering brand-new guns just for it. Lots of people have caught on to what those of us who have shot the 10mm for many years already knew--it gives you magnum-level power in a small enough package to still be a practical choice for an everyday carry gun. Even for a non-handloader, people like Mike McNett at Double Tap Ammo load the 10mm to its potential, not downloaded to the "10mm Lite" levels of the FBI loads. Nothing wrong with the .40 S&W in its place, but you can (as S&W did) do that with a smaller-framed gun than what the 10mm is. Loaded to full potential, the 10mm makes an excellent self-defense load and is one of the few commonly-available autoloading cartridges suitable for deer-sized game at handgun ranges, with enough of a power margin to make up for non-optimal situations. I'm glad to see more companies responding to the increased demand for it, and hope that this will keep ammo availability up for the forseeable future, whether or not you handload. You're certainly right about them liking to fling brass, though I've found a heavier-than-stock recoil spring will help that as a side benefit to its primary purpose.
 
Don't be too gloomy. Remember, it isn't only 90% of gun owners who sit on the sofa trying to watch TV without moving their lips---it's 90% of everybody. That means it comes down to who has the best organization of the 10% who will do something. So far, gun owners are doing fine. Nevertheless, your suggestion is a good one. Better to have the makings and no emergency than an emergency and no makings.

Wish I had a S&W Model 17, though. The SS Taurus I've got is not in the same league, and it's finicky about what it will shoot straight---only jacketed bullets. Fortunately, I bought a few of those back when they didn't cost much.

My thoughts
 
Interesting observations, Tim. I didn't know that the 10mm was making a comeback, but I'm tickled to hear it. I completely understand that it doesn't make sense to arm a police department or any type of law enforcement agency with a weapon that many of its members will be shy about firing, but I felt that the 10mm auto was an impressive enough handgun caliber that it would have been worth taking some extra time to get people used to it. In a large pistol with the bore axis low to the wrist like the Glock 20, it's much more comfortable to shoot than a small to medium .357 revolver, in my opinion.

It had never occurred to me that the .41 has the drawback of not having a non-magnum caliber to practice with. I knew there wasn't one, of course, but never put that together. Good point.

I have a S&W 610 revolver that shoots either 10mm or 40 S&W using full moon clips, but I don't think any 10mm pistol will fire 40 S&W---reliably, at least. Doesn't the 10mm headspace on the cartridge mouth, so that the shorter 40 S&W is held in position only by the extractor? Of course, you did say "if necessary".

Stan
 
I think shipping is $10 the last time I checked, and you will need a local FFL to have it shipped to and to do the paperwork.

Most FFL holders around me charge $20 to $25, some more..... to have it shipped to your location.
 
kind of depends on your likes and wants and budget. You cant go too far wrong with a 10-22,or a basic Henry is fun if you like a lever action. I have both and like both of em

Personally, if I was a 41 aficionado I'd learn to cast my own bullets. I've been casting since 1978ish and it's not all that hard. Then you can get the exact size bullet you need, same for the 10MM if you're willing to work at things a bit more.

Little girly men and she-males are why my former agency uses the 45GAP over the 45ACP. I came on back int he days of Smith 681 357's and we ahd problems back then getting people to qual, especially at 50 yards. Now they don't shoot past 25 yards at all with the pistol. Glad I retired.

The problem is we have more anti-gun politicians than pro-gun politicians. And so far, gun owners AREN'T doing fine at all. You did notice I live in NY, right? Waaaaay up north on the Ontario border. We have this thing called the SAFE Act and it's just the start of outlawing guns altogether.

Your Taurus probably just needs the right size bullets. It's a rare 45 that won't shoot a cast bullet at all. Some are just tougher to figure out. It all comes down to bullet fit. Despite almost 100 years of jacketed bullets and that nasty shallow S+W 1917 45ACP rifling, my '17 Smiff shoots cast great.
 
Stan: Yes, both cartridges headspace on the case mouth, and I doubt (though I've never tried and don't plan on it) if the .40 would work reliably in the 10mm. My post referred to using .40 S&W BULLETS (the actual bullet, not the entire cartridge) to handload the 10mm if necessary. Bullets of (very roughly) 150-180 gr. are commonly used in both cartridges, and as the .40 is so common, they're much more likely to be cheaper and available due to both economies of scale and consumer demand.
 
Tim;

Yes, you did say "bullets". I completely overlooked that. In any case, it's obvious that you know a lot, so I didn't think you were saying that 40 S&W cartridges work in a 10mm auto pistol like .38 spcls work in a .357 revolver. You said the bullets could be used "if necessary" and I read that as the cartridges could be used in a last resort situation---which apparently they can. There's a high probability of ruptured primers and/or blown cases, but if you had to put one through your head to keep ISIS from capturing you, maybe the damage to the brass wouldn't matter. That was the most improbable example I could come up with, so I think the reality is there would never be any point in doing it.

It's been years since I reloaded 10mm or 40 S&W so I can't remember whether the bullets I used were sold as only one of those specific calibers. The reloading manual I used the most lists bullets for both starting at 135 grains and going up to 200 grains.

Stan
 
Bret;

I misread your previous post. I thought you were talking about two different handguns---a Smith Model 17 (.22 LR), and a 45AR, make unspecified. The Taurus I have is a .22

Stan
 
Except that the 10mm auto I have is a Glock, and Glock categorically warns against shooting lead bullets---at least they did up to and including the generation of their pistols I own. Maybe it's different now. I shot a lot of 9mm lead bullets through a Glock 17 before I read that they warned against it, but I find other ways to use them now. I wouldn't put lead through my Glock 10mm now, because even if it's not as dangerous as they say, I don't need to do it.

Stan
 
The marlin 39. If you need to reload for a varmint you need to practice more first. Will hols 18 or 19 with one more in the chamber. As Henry rifle claimed load on Sunday and shoot all week.

Yeah, well I'm not a Glock guy. Had to carry one and never did come to like it. As far as the rest, at one time IIRC Glock categorically warned against shooting ANY reloaded ammo. To each their own. I love cast and if I can't use cast in a CF, outside of some hot varmint rigs, I'm not likely to own it.

Yeah, I have a M-17/K22 too. Dates from the 50's. Nice guns...
 
Make your own quick loader for your .22 lever. Its not too hard. I scrounged up a hunk of stainless steel tubing and made two . figure out the lenth you want,put some sort of a cap or plug on one end,and make a removable plug for the other end,add a lanyard if you wish and your done .
 
I'm coming into this late but I will chime in with them what said the Marlin 60. Common and inexpensive, I use this one as my daily carry around the farm. For special occasions I have a German made Browning 22SA. Sweet little rifle but I won't take it all the places the Marlin goes. Been using that Marlin for a lot of years. Open sites and dead accurate.
 
if you want to have some fun while getting rid of critters check out the ruger charger , its basically a 10/22 pistol with a 10" barrel . i put 2 out of 3 rounds throw a 2" flat washer at 50 yards consistantly

Are you sure that your Browning 22SA was made in Germaany? The only Browning 22 SA's that I know of were made in Belgium until 1974 and starting in 1976 made in Japan to present.
