.22 tube loading through stock

[Notnuts]

I'm just learning how to use this site so hope I am asking in appropriate place.
It seems to me that I saw (maybe 50 years ago) a very light .22 caliber rifle that had a tube loading magazine that fed from a hole in the stock. Can anyone tell me if it really existed and what it was?

Browning SA take down comes to mind

I believe the gun your talking about is a Remington Nylon 66. A nice light rifle, the nicest looking one in my opinion is the Mohawk, in chrome and black.

yep both of those- the browning was a take-down- still got my nylon 66 and I don\t see that changing- came with a 4x bushnell scope too

Mossbergs

The Mossberg 151K loads like that, they are a very nice 22 rifle.

 

[gunsaholic]

There are a few older Mossbergs that load through a hole in the side of the stock. Aside from the ones already mentioned, I think there were a couple of other brands that had models that loaded through the side but I can't think of them off hand.

Yup...Mossberg Semi...forget the model. Great little shooter. Holds 10 or 11 LR if I recall.

Yes that's right. I have a Mohawk, I think I'll keep my eye open for an Apache, beautiful little gun!

I had a Mossberg 151 semi as a kid that loaded through the buttstock, it had a brass spring loaded tube and a nice walnut stock.

When you said very light, the Remington Model Nylon 66 leapt to mind. The Nylon 66 is very, very, light and it does load through a tube in the buttstock, you have to completely withdraw the tube and then place the 22LR rounds bullet first into the rifle. I have one, inherited it from my father, I've not shot it much.

Mine is called Apache Black. Black stock, black metal.

I have one of these; the original 1903 semi-automatic Winchester .22 Auto:

Unfortunately it doesn't shoot .22LR.

I picked up a nylon 66 this summer. Cute little .22.
