If you count mine and the wife’s and you include handguns as well as rifles then it’s 10
2 semi handguns
2 semi rifles
2 revolvers
2 22mag bolt actions
1 lever action mares leg with a full stock
And 1 single shot trappers rifle(as my grandfather called it) I think it’s a Boris or something it’s all steel and rotates In half
And I’ll be getting more for sure, some I have for there sentimental value, some for there practical value and all because there cheap to shoot

Currently have like 5. But owned like 50 since I've owned guns.
Currently I have a Kriss Vector 22 SBR and three Marlin 795’s because they are discontinued. Might trade one of them but I like having spares in case they break.
In the past I have had a GSG 15 was too front heavy, GSG 16 was fun but felt silly using it, Winchester Wildcat was too small for my frame, Ruger 10/22 Takedown no complaints just preferred the 795’s and finally a Henry Evil Roy - was a near perfect gun and I regret selling it but I needed the money, I’ll grab one next time I see one.

22's:
Winchester Model 69A
Ruger Stainless 10/22 RSI
LH Bergara B-14 Trainer w/ Carbon barrel
Ruger Mk II Competition
Rimfire:
Magnum Research MLR 17/22 in 17 Mach II
Only regret is that I did not pick up a S&W 41 before the ban came into effect.

Jeez, down to only four. Might have to do something about that.
CZ457 w/ IBI 22", MDT XRS, Athlon Midas Tac. This in my PRS/ELR setup
Collectors Ed #2 Ruger 10/22 in Magpul X-22 stock, TK Ultimate trigger, all-arounder fun plinker
Another 10/22 10" Shaw Barrel, AA Precision stock, VQ Trigger kit and Hawke 2-7. Fun plinker, Pretty cool sending 3 rounds to 200yrd before first one impacts. no pic
Last is Ruger American with TechSights, this is a good rifle for non supported shooting and bonus it uses 10/22 mags. No pics.

You can see by my signature but being raised on 22 long long rifle but there are many that have been bought and sold.
At one time about half of my shooting was shared between rimfire and centerfire. Now over 99% is rimfire. Just too much trouble reloading.
The 40XB is strictly a target/benchrest gun with a 2 oz trigger set at 4 for consistency. The Cooper and two Anschutz rifles have 6.5 oz triggers.
All of the handguns are gone.
Did I say I really enjoy my rimfires . . . Only accurate rifles are interesting!
Winchester 52
Cooper JSR
Remington 40XB
Anschutz 1712
Anschutz 1710 HB
Anschutz 1710 HB ES
While updating a document . . . guns I have owned . . . 33 of the 63 were 22's and the list continues to grow.

12 rifles and a pair of pistols. Really like shooting the rimfires and I use them for bush chickens, rabbits and anything else that needs eating. I can’t seem to drive past a sports store without going in to pick up some .22 ammo ( just in case) lol

Sometimes I too have a yen for the 22 magnum. Then I look at my two under-utilized 22 Hornets and that nagging feeling just goes away. Lol....
This sounds like a therapy session....my name is 'John' and I own 9 22s. I have owned over 37 in total. Old Mossbergs have been a definite weak point for me.
My current roster includes:
Winchester 69A with apertures
TOZ 8M and 17
Mossberg 144LS
Three Savage MkIIs - FVT, FV-SR, BV
Savage 64 FV-SR
Scorpio EM332A
I have been tempted many times by the more expensive brethren (CZ, Annie, Bergara, etc), but then I see the owners going through the same agonies of ammo and lot testing, not to mention an addiction to checking Tesro's webpage to see when they get their next shipment of SK ammo.
I have to keep reminding myself that 22s are supposed to be cheap and fun!
