Rimfires

[PiNkPaNtHeR]

I haven't seen a lot of space or even threads about rimfires on here. Am I missing something? Possibly in the small game area or ...?
Anyway, I saw that Cabela's was advertising the Marlin Model 60 DLX (has checkering & sling swivels) advertised for $179 a couple of weeks ago. I called and got my name on the list for a 'rain check'. Hopefully I'll be able to get one. I already have the 60SS (stainless steel) version. When I got that one a couple of weeks ago I had to do some scope swapping to get all the .22's set up the way I wanted them & have been bore sighting and testing (fine-tuning) them ever since.
I'm curious to know what you all shoot as far as .22s are concerned. I know there's an ammo shortage, but I'll bet most everyone on here owns at least one rimfire.
I've been thinking about a .17HMR, but..........well, let's just say I'm still thinking about it.
I'd welcome any and all input - especially what loads have worked best (and worst) for you. I hear a lot of negative things about the Remington Thunderduds, but have never had any issue with them.

Spend a little and get a rem. Nylon.

When rem. could build a decent product.

I have about two dozen but my favorites are a ruger 77/22mag with a leupold 2x7 I also shoot my Ruger single six weekly and a mkII 10"

Any one have a Sako quad?

Man - I wish I could afford a 77/22 Mag. MSRP is $999 on that thing. Maybe when I win the lottery....... It's beautiful.

I shoot a Ruger takedown ss synthetic with a simmons 4x32 most of the time but i also have a Henry golden boy that is beautiful and i left that one with just open sights. As 2labs suggested the remington nylon series was good i had a nylon 66 as child and wore it out but that was back when bricks of thunder bolt were about $7.00 my favorite to shoot with.I also had a 522 viper and it was a good gun too but i pointed it the wrong direction twice one day while out shooting and my dad smashed it over a rock  I also had the standard savage model 64 and i cut the bbl down to 16.25 and that thing was super accurate i killed tons of rabbits with it and it would eat anything i put in it.

i lusted after one for 20 years found one at a price I couldn't pass up, sold my marlin and quit smoking plunked down the cash. It's killed coyotes, coons, ground hogs, grouse, rattle snakes, and a truck load of grey diggers. It may be my favorite gun

The mag version would be fun I bet.  I found a good deal on the LR with a scope.  Yeah, grouse fear it.  Wish we had lots of squirrels.

My favorite .22 rifle is my old J.C Higgins model 31, shoots like anything else and is very accurate.

My go to .22 is a Marlin Mod 80. That thing don't know how to shoot bad

I like my 77/22 boat paddle better than any of my other .22's.

I also have had great luck with Remington Thunderbolt ammo. Works fine in all the 10/22's I've run it through and it's as accurate as any other bulk .22 I've tried.

That's msrp. I can get you one for 675.00 and out the door with tax for around 720-725.00

Thanks, Carp. I should keep you in mind for that and some other things, too. If I Start saving right now, I can probably come up with that in a little less than a year - maybe. Then save another 3 months for a scope. I appreciate you posting that. I should put a picture on my refrigerator just to keep it from sliding down the priority list. I have three Remington Model Fives - a youth .22LR, a full-size .22LR, and a .22 WMR. I like them all, but looking at that Ruger just gets my heart to pumping. The first rifle I ever bought for myself was a Ruger M77 in 7mm Rem Mag. I loved that rifle. I'm assuming that the rimfire version is the same quality (way above average for a .22LR nowadays).
