Shooting my Winchester model 9422 22 Magnum rifle with a scope, this is the rifle of choice to carry with me in a Bug Out situation, and its fun to shoot.
The Marlin Papoose .22 rifle is an excellent all-around .22 rifle choice. Weighing only 3.2 lbs (!) and having the capability to break down easily into a buoyant carry case, the Papoose is extremely portable. It is lighter and more compact than most other .22s around. And unlike some other previous survival .22s, its accurate and reliable while still offering adequate firepower. Other features include a grooved receiver for scope mounting, last shot hold open, high visibility open sights, stainless steel construction, sling swivels, a decent trigger, a fiberglass polycarbonate stock, and the availability of 10 rd magazines (7 rd standard). The Marlin Papoose will function well in different roles: family .22 rifle, survival kit gun, or backpacking gun. The version shown wears a compact and lightweight Weaver 4×28 Classic Rimfire scope (#849430, SWFA.com) which maximizes its accuracy. Its the best .22 pack rifle around.
A quick video on my Heritage Arms Rough Rider .22LR & .22 Magnum, made here in the USA, all parts and labor are from American hands, made in Miami Florida. I have over 2000 rounds on it without a single malfunction, this thing just works and it is very accurate and well balanced. It just fits the hand and balances like a dream. I purchased this one at Academy Sports, they had a sale for 9 and this was the last one, the display model, so I got another off and walked out with it for 9. The fact that it has both cylinders is the main attractive feature for me as it provides relative flexibility others don’t.
The one-of-a-kind Marlin 39AS .22 lever action is the oldest, continuously-produced shoulder firearm design in th world. It is milled from solid steel forgings and heat treated for ultimate strength. And that’s for a .22! It is the best made, most collectible, most accurate, coolest, and highest quality .22 lever action being sold. It is one of my top recommendations as heirloom quality rifle to give to your children and family members. But good luck finding one. Because like many of Marlin’s guns, they sell, sell, sell and their availability within the past few years has been scarce. Don’t fault Marlin as they have been cranking the production lines as best they can. Credit good designs that connect with guys, high value, outstanding workmanship, and excellent accuracy. That’s Marlin. I know because I’ve been shooting and testing Marlins ever since high school. In the swamps of Alabama in my many hunting adventures, I found their Model 60 .22 to be a reliable and cost effective performer that’s fun and deadly accurate. Its also lightweight (5.5 lbs), super affordable, and has been issued in some amazingly cool laminated and walnut stock editions (like the blue laminated version and the nice walnut-stocked 50th Anniversay Model 60 .22 shown!). Their Model 795 .22 and Model 70PSS Papoose (reviewed) semi-auto rifle are some of the best, highest value .22 autos out there. The 4.5 lb stainless steel, 10-shot Papoose is one of the best survival kit guns in the world and …
Visit us: bit.ly The Colt Lightning Rifle, introduced in 1884, was chambered in .44-40, the most popular pistol round offered for Colts 1873 single action revolvers. Colt followed with Lightning Rifles in three different frame sizes, to accommodate a wide range of cartridges, from .22 caliber to .50-95 Express. Known for its speed, the Colt rifle could beat any Winchester. Samuel Colt used to say, Nothing is faster than Lightning. More than 185000 of the Colt rifles were manufactured, but a new one hadnt been made since 1904… until now. The Lightning Rifle by Uberti is an exact replica of the original Colt Lightning, but will safely stand up to modern ammunition because its made with modern steel and todays manufacturing techniques. The Lightning Rifle is available in .45 Colt or .357 Magnum, all with luster-finished satin walnut stocks and your choice of blued or color case-hardened receivers. Visit us: bit.ly
