Nylon 66 when I was growing up, thing was a rabbit, squirrel, and trapline machine.
Now I have a cricket single, trapline workhorse for us. Neat little single hasn't let us down yet.
My other fav .22 is a Marlin midget magnum takedown .22 mag, I've had that since 80s and it is a nice coyote killer. I put a four power scope on mine using 1" rings with .22 receiver grooves. Awesome fun gun and accurate for a long ways out with CCI maxi mags jacketed hollows.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

My first and favorite trapline rifle was a Colt Lightning .22 slide action. It was given to me by one of my Dad's friends who was an old tanker that served under Patton. He said every boy should have a .22 rifle when he gave it to me. It still travels with me in my truck.

I had a couple of the old Stevens .22/410 OU combos I'd like to have back. They're pretty pricey nowadays.
Use it all the time for small game great little gun.... ![](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2018/01/full-47227-400065-image.jpg)
Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

Remington Model 510 Single shot. My Dad bought it for me for Christmas 1955. Still have it and another just like it.
If atheists don't believe in God, why do they get upset when people pray to him?
