My favorite odd ball firearm is...
« on: February 28, 2017, 12:26:38 PM »
What is your favorite guilty pleasure?  That one odd ball firearm that you've couldn't live with out but don't really brag about either.  mine is a Mossberg 635 12 Ga. fully rifled bolt action slug gun.  Perhaps the single ugliest gun ever made.  I love the damn thing, can't help it.  It shoots like a champ, knocks down large game with ease and is just odd enough that you never see another one like it. 

What is your favorite?

I've never claimed to be a house painter or a mechanic...it always amazes me how many people want to claim to be a lawyer.

I've got an old remington 22 fieldmaster model 121 that a neighbor gave me some years ago (before I-594). It's not really odd ball but a little. The gun's in great shape, fires like a dream, right on target. But be careful taking that action apart! The last time, I had to use the schematic to put it back together - not a single YouTube video on completely taking down the action of those things.

Remington TargetMaster 510.

Single shot.  Horrible trigger.  Quarterish groups at 50 yards on cheap bulk lead roundnose.

Sears .22 LR.  Horrible sights, hammer sometimes falls when working the safety.  Impossible to find any parts to fix it, everything needs to be machined from scratch.  First firearm I ever shot.

I had a Sears JC Higgins .22. Most accurate .22 I ever had.

 Remington Nylon 66MB "Mohawk Brown" .22LR

 Could a manufacturer get away with that these days? :chuckle:

I had a Sears JC Higgins .22. Most accurate .22 I ever had.

That's what this one is too. I slimmed it down and shortened it for the kids, but left the JC Higgins model markings. Great shooter, and modern Marlin magazines work.

I have a Sears model 1 that I love. I've had it for as long as I can remember. Single shot, bolt action .22Lr
This isn't mine, but mine looks the same.  Thinking about refinishing the stock. It's seen better days.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
