Pops asked me the other day if I've seen any .22mag rifles while out and about and i told him no and I'd keep an eye out. Said he'd like .22mag and I love the old man to death so figured I'd pick on up for a surprise if I could in the next few months. Any suggestions on what to look out for ? Dad's a little be different from me. Real no frills and crazy stuff kinda guy ( I know I wonder how he's my dad at times too . ). Think he's a j Jack o Connor fan. So thing reliable with the option of tossing on a lil 3-9 on top. Think a bolt gun would be fine but think he'd get a kick out of leaves action possibly. Any way any suggestions on what to be on the look for used if not new ? ....or should I just get him a .17hmr and a few boxes of shells and tell him to get over it ?

It is tough to beat a Marlin 25MN or a Mossberg Chuckster. I have been looking for a Mossberg for quite a while.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I own a couple 22mags,one chiappa over and under-22mag over 410- a break action folder,its my carry gun on the trapline. I recently bought a 22 mag semi auto CZ-real accurate gun.Put a scope on it. Also I own a ruger model 96,carried that gun for years on the trapline and shot a lot of fox and beaver with it.A 96 22mag is hard to find nowadays,and cost a lot if you find one. 22mag is a great caliber.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

If he is fixated on a 22mag, buy him one. No need to stir up the hornet nest even talking about the 17hmr. I shoot a 17 HMR a lot and feel guilty for never pulling out my 22mag out of the safe. I know she misses me. As far as which 22mag to buy, I'd say buy whatever you can find in your price range. I have yet to hear anyone complain about how any of them shoot.

the Marlin and Mossberg 22wrm are no longer made I bet I can count the number of used Marlin 22mags I have seen in used racks people tend to buy them like them and use them. apparently they do happen , I just don't see it around here https://www.gunbroker.com/item/932067507 be interesting to see what this one sells for.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
