Looking for a pump action 22 for plinking fun. Doesnt appear to be a very popular setup from what i can see.
 
Henry and Remington for new and Winchester,Rossi,Browning,Savage and probably some others for used.
The used Rossi's pop up fairly often on the EE.
 
I have a browning BPR 22 and its a pretty fun plinker. Theres one in the EE right now I believe, aswell as some winchesters and Rossi's and a Browning trombone.
 
Pump .22s are great. My second gun many decades ago was a Winchester 62a. That one had to be traded on a used Marlin 39 Mountie because I couldn't afford more than one gun with my paper route money. Have since re-acquired more Win 62a's as well as the Rossi copy in both the short carbine length (a few of those) as well as the longer barrel models, an octagon barrel and a plain barrel. Also have some Winchester 61's as well as some of the Browning Belgium trombone pumps. Obviously a fan of the slide action .22s
 
I have 3 so far, want to get another 1890 and a nice 1906 (if I can find one!!!!)

I would like to find a new one if possible.

What other rimfire ammo is reasonably priced besides 22LR ?

I have a Rossi 62....LOVE IT (re-finishing the metal, it's my Avatar)
Pumps may not be as popular as, the tend to cost a touch more than other .22 actions...Those that do love them, love them a lot!

For rimfire, .22LR is about as cheap as it gets...ESP bulk-packs. Other rimfire choices include .22 MAG(WMR), .17Mach(.17 based on a .22LR) and, .17HMR (.17 based on WMR).
 
I assume these are all feed tube configuration ? What is the general capacity of pump action rifles?
 
Most Pump actions are pretty traditional looking. Would be nice if a manufacture came out with a design with more of a "cool" factor to help it gain popularity like they are doing with AR style rifles .

The whole point of a pump .22 is that they're old-fashioned. They're kind of nifty, but they don't really do much that can't be done by a semi-auto that costs less to manufacture.
 
After doing a bit searching, it appears that the last mag fed pumps were Savage 1903's and 1906's. They're actually kinda cool looking :) .

My Henry pump takes 15 22lr in the tube.
Took it gopher hunting with a friend who didn't know it was a pump action. The second he heard the *schk- schk* his head spun around with a WTFWT look. He didn't know they even made pump action rifles! :rolleyes:

(E) :cool:
 
Browning made a good little 22 pump called a BPR. They don't stay for sale very long if you can find one. Well made gun, and very nice blued finish and wood stock.

There are so many really cool looking pump action shotguns available but no modern looking 22's.
 
Well I will say that my buddy mwjones has an old Rem model 12 that has a ring in the rifling and that stupid gun will out shoot his Nylon 66 and 10/22. So plinker? Depends what you consider plinking, golf balls at 100yds?
