I would like to get a new .22, something of great quality that can be passed down generations. Must be a bolt action, deadly accurate and a hunting not target style gun.

I'll probably sell my Belgium A5 to buy it so I'll have a healthy budget. Anything come to mind?

Check the Pawn shops. That is where all of my Quackenbushes as well as the old Carnival 22's have come from.


God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Model 52 or a 40x are the first that come to my mind!
Anschutz would also have a couple offerings that would fit the description

Cooper and ANSCHÜTZ make nice and expensive .22 rifles.

ANSCHÜTZ would be a good one too but I'm a sucker for the quality engineering this country use to standby.

I’m not sure they are still in production but kimber at least at one point made a lr that is fairly sought after as well

Cz put out the 452 to compete with the 52, remington also had a model to compete against it as well but I don't recall the model. The cz can be picked up at decent price

Check out Old Arms of Idaho, they have some Winchester 22s and few others on their website. Not bad prices either. I have picked up some parts from them and they where easy to work with.

what is your goal in this , heirloom quality 22lr

how many kids do you have? are you looking to pass this on through family or you just want a extra special 22 ?

the down side of many 22s for long term use is going to be parts , so it has to be popular enough that parts will be available for a long time

isn't the Browning A5 heirloom quality by it's self

just wondering what your looking for in this gun , what is it's purpose?


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

This will be "dad's gun" the gun they remember dad shooting squirrels with, rabbits, pest on the farm. Parts availability is why I shy away from some of the rarer stuff.

Basically I want a gun to use, that the kids will remember and want someday, not a collector piece but a very nice functional gun that will last multiple lifetimes.

The A5 has no sentimental value to me. My beretta 391 however will be something I hope to pass down.

Kimber model 82, gotta find a used one as they don't make them anymore.

This one I bought new in the early '80's.

X2 hipp. Purchased a 541-t in 80s. Was my squirrel gun. Looking back wished I would have purchased a 541-s but had 2 little girls and not much money but one of my grandkids will get it. One of Remingtons best. Was only made a few years.

Nothing says Americana like a Marlin 39A. Lever action so those rascally democrats cant take it because it's an automatic. Will shoot shorts, longs and long rifles so your kids can learn to shoot with it. They have a reputation for accuracy. Get a aperture sight for it and keep up with the boys that are shooting scopes.
And John Wayne would like you to have one. He probably had one. He'd say something like; "Donnerssurvivor, Go and git you one of them fine shooting, hair splitting Marlin 39As". Then he'd spit, get on his horse and ride away.

They're kinda high. The ones I see on GunBroker in good shape are going for a grand or so.
