Grunt Medic TXARNG Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Oh, and that pic with the rifleman patch is a stock photo, not the target I qualified on - in case anyone notices the math error. He still qualified as a Rifleman, just with 10 points fewer than he thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob072770 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Ruger 10/22 I have seen guys what have spent 2k on highly customized rifles carbon barrels etc. Gun must weight 3 lbs it shot like amazing. But the cost wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telluwhat Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I picked up a newer Remington 597, & even a couple of the 30 round magazines. I have read a lot of older bad reviews of this gun (after my purchase of course). Honestly can tell you I have never had a feed problem out of it. I liked it so much it led me to look at Bushmaster and finally my new 308 ORC. Which I love too but shoot the 22 more to save $ on ammo mostly. The 308 is more FUN to blast, I mean shoot.

fr3db3ar Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I had my 10/22 barrel reworked by a guy on RFC it is as close to a one hole shooter @ 50 yards as I can get for $300 total into the gun. And it still looks stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telluwhat Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I will have to put that on my list. I have heard so much about that. I ALWAYS research computer parts and electronic stuff before I buy, even my vehicles, but I sure did not dig enough before I got my 22. Thankfully I did some before I got my 308, no regrets there.

blue109 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 my retro colt AR/M16 with the 1:12 barrel loves my 22 conversion bolt. i think im just going to be leaving it in there as a full time .22 rifle since i have nothing else to do with it.

Lon Moer Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Like others have posted, I started with .22's. I got my first non-airgun at age 9, the 'family hand-me-down', a Remington 550-1.Still have it. :)The first gun I paid for myself was a Squires-Bingham(Armscor) M-16. My dad had to actually buy it for me. :P Still have it.The first gun I bought for myself after I turned 18 was a Ruger 10/22. Still have it.The first internet gun board I was ever on was at Rockin' Rimfires(the posting forum is long gone) and then on to rimfirecentral.comAnd a picture of my custom ruger 22/45 mkII.

telluwhat Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I don't know why but I want to get a 22 handgun. Maybe it has something to do with affordability of the ammo maybe it is because they are more quiet to fire. Then again I want a lot of the guns I see. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbunny Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I've shot more .22lr rounds since I got my hands on my first suppressor than I did when I was growing up. I spent more on extra magazines for the Walther P-22 than I did for the pistol; so I wouldn't have to reload them at the range and just keep shooting. I've found that CCI Blazer is a pretty good cartridge. It is subsonic when shot through the pistol, very reliable in a Ceiner AR-15 conversion, and lastly very consistant when I shoot in the local summer biathlon with a Winchester Model 69. Plus they are inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 i also find the federal champion rounds to work well in the conditions you stated with the exception that i don't know about the velocity in the p22. it's the best round i've found for my gsg5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 We have a veritable arsenal of .22s, as they are best to teach with. And they are addicting!Classes usually go from .22s up to the centerfires, and then students ask "Can I shoot the .22 ______ again?" <thumbsup>Some of the funnest times I've had have been with .22s of all sorts.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I dig the 22lr cartridge. My favorite at the moment is ths M&P 15-22. I was a little aprehensive at first but it does better than I imagined. I'd buy another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluzjamer Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Have my share of 22's and just ordered a Chipiwa Ar 22 upper. Always had a Ceineir bolt for my Colt but never shot it. Have several custom 10/22s, one in 17 mach2...wish they'd do up a 17hmr. Have one of the amt stainless folding stock lightenings and also the amt long barrel pistol. I also bought a Remy 597 with bull barrel and laminated stock. Shoots well. Now where is all that 22 ammo gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Doesn't MRI make a 10/22-style .17HMR? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluzjamer Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 MRI is a little too pricey for me for a 10-17 even if it is a magnum round. Have nice Excellerator in 22 mag. So far not a tack driver. Watch out for Winchester 22 LR ammo....Recall in Effect. GD 42L and 52L lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Watch out for Winchester 22 LR ammo....Recall in Effect. GD 42L and 52L lots. Hadn't heard of that until you mentioned it - good info. Like we can even FIND some M22, though - man, I haven't seen that stuff on the shelves since last Jan. I wish I could find it, but when I do I'll be looking for those lots and stay away. <thumbsup> Here's the Winchester info on it, for others: http://www.winchester.com/library/news/Pages/s22lrt-recall.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I just Registered. I saw a lot of good info. Well, welcome to Tactical 22. Did you just register as Winchester 1890x2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMMG308 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yes I did, I know a Winchester 1890 is not very Tactical but I'm sure I can pickup a little knowledge from You Guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those little pumps, I recently picked up a beautiful mod 62 mfg in 1937. Besides "tactical" is a state of mind, not a style of equipment.

mrmackc Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have my first.22 a Remington 550 semi-auto that shoots shorts,longs, and long rifles in any mixture. Probably has 10K rounds thru it. It has a floating chamber just a bit longer than a .22 short case . Winchester .22 long rifle shells will fire but the soft brass case will bulge between the front of the floating chamber and fail to eject. The rifle has to be disassembled and the case cut off. Remington and CCI cases are harder brass and don't ever jam. Now If I buy Winchester.22 I only buy shorts. I have never had a fail to fire in any of my.22 rimfires with Remington and CCI. I Also HAVE Ruger .22 semiautomatic pistol 10-22, a Colt frontier scout, a Ansultz 64, a Winchester 53 Marlin 39, high standard 9 shot revolver my 4 children all grew up shooting these after starting on Daisy BB Guns and an old Stevens .22 single shot bolt action.
