Anyone use a Henry survival 22 rifle on your line?

Ruger all the way

The ruger s tend to be finicky with ammo type. The Browning Buckmark rats everything

Get a cheap wheel gun for the trapline and something else for the small game hunting. You cant have too many different guns.

I've used wheel guns and have nothing bad to say at all about them. Very reliable and most are built to last. But most are not made to have a scope attached. I've owned the SR22 and it was an exceptionally accurate pistol. I regretted having traded it off. I currently carry a bolt action rifle on the trap line and it will digest any size 22 ammo I put in the clip. Its just a little big when carrying other equipment on the line. As I mentioned before the main reasons for looking at the berretta and the mark IV were because both come from the factory with scope rails already attached. My eyes are getting progressively worse the older I get so scopes are becoming my best bet on pretty much all my firearms.

I have the ruger, a browning, and an old H&R 9 shot. The h& r goes on the line bought it in 1972 and still shooting straight.

I have pondered this for awhile also. I have a little Jennings auto that jams all the time. I heard that the rough riders had a warranty issue plus it seems like a pain with the SA. I have a Ruger Mark II which shoots very well. I cut alot of firewood and a sidearm would get very dirty and gritty. I bought a Ruger GP100 SS 22 . Great but too heavy & clumsy when working. I have decided on a S&W 317 22 . Super Lt wt alloy frame and is an 8 shot revolver. Had a mangy fox chasing me around the wood pile last year without a gun so jumped on the tractor and tried to get him with the bucket. Sliding down banks into a creek,slopping in the mud and snow makes a revolver seem like more sense. Gets dirty , open the cylinder,spray it down and shove it back into the holster. I know the S&W is pricey but for me I think it will be the right choice. Do not even need a holster it fit in my carhartt bibs pocket.

I have a Rock Island/Armscor model 14Y. It's a bolt action wood stocked little rifle (34 1/2 " from muzzle to butt plate)with a 10 shot magazine and has threaded barrel. I also put sling swivels on it. I believe it was 110-120 new. It's been a great shooting little rifle.

I know where there’s a Browning Buckmark LNIB for $300.

The smartest gun purchase I ever made was a Ruger in stainless, back when I bought it I paid for it with possum's, still call it my possum pistol, not because it is for shooting them.

I've got a S&W MP22 & it's a darn good .22. Same w/ my Ruger Blackhawk & Ruger Mark 2 (older model). Don't buy a Walther PPS, very finicky on ammo

i bought new ruger specifically for 1) rail for a red dot as can't see open sights worth a darn anymore and also want to use it for more than trapline and 2) threaded barrel for suppressor if want one on it. fyi---new rugers are easier to tear apart than old ones.

I carry my son's Savage Rascal most of the time. I also have a S&W Victory that shoots very well and is easier to disassemble and reassemble than older Rugers.

Thanks, Dinny

Get one of these and wear it cross draw you don't know your wearing it most days, 22oz lightweight S/W 422 they have the same gun just under other numbers 622-2022 and so on. Had this one for 40 years and "runs" like a deer!

do you carry it c o c k e d and locked like a 1911 lawdog?

only reason I ask is I like a single action revolver. stuffed down in a holster that covers the trigger its handy when I need it and out of the way when i don't. very reliable and imo very safe even crawling around in a plum thicket or rolling back down a creek bank when your feet slip out from under you

No Danny I carry it empty chambered the nice thing is if I just hit the mag release and when that mag pops just a little ways it won't fire then.

Me too. 35 years and still going strong!

If you are going to use it for hunting also, look at the S&W Victory. Accurate, excellent trigger. I have a Ruger SR22. Nice little gun, but for shooting small game I would choose something else.

I have the sr22 and a bearcat i take the bearcat on the line dont really want the brass from a semi auto ejected at a trap set both shoot very well

Appreciate the input. Still looking for one that come with a scope rail from the factory or at least already drilled and tapped. I've even considered a woodswalker PCP air rifle in 22. Easily scoped, more than enough energy to dispatch coyotes, quite, light and ammo is very cheap. Plus I could use it for animal control work in town as they come with barrel that has a shroud and built in baffles to make them very quite. Comes with pistol grip scales or can be fitted with the back packer shoulder stock. Anyone have any experience with one?
