What's your favourite rimfire woods loafing gun

[chasseur]

My favourite woods loafing 22is my j vennables Francotte martini sporting rifle.This little gem has a fully ribbed 26 inch ovate barrel with express sights.It carries like a dream as the barrel naturally balances in the hand

Love to carry around the Henry 22 pump with Octagon barrel.

Brings out the kid in me.

Shoot straight - chrisco

I carry a Browning Buck Mark Carbine alot... and also a Ruger M77/22 International... they are both compact and move easily through brush, and are "grouse-head" accurate out to 50 yards.

I really like my Ruger American Rimfire Compact. I have many 22 rimfires, bolts, levers and semi-autos but the compact is the one that always goes for a walkabout.

Winchester-Cooey mod 600. It's old as dirt in excellent condition and more fun to shoot than a barrel of monkeys.

Second favorite is me CZ 452 Scout.

I've got a few different vintage single shot youth sized "boy's rifles" in .22. I just like working on and shooting them.

If I were the sort that carried around the woods in the hope of finding a rabbit or grouse or the like I think I'd opt for one of those thanks to the lightness and smaller size. A modern version would be something like a Chiappa Badger or similar.

I think I'd use a sling or make up a simple over the shoulder sleeve holster for it to avoid having to carry in hand. I may be wrong but I suspect that a common cause of broken rifle stocks right near the action is from the users tripping and falling and landing on the gun which then snaps right at the wrist area. Something a sling and wearing the gun on our backs can avoid.

I could be wrong but I think it's fair to say

My non centerfire is a Stoeger uplander 410 sxs choked f/f. Obviously not a rimfire. Really mostly dont care about partridge; however, here its Blue grouse. I care about not missing them, thus the little sxs.

When i actually was a kid it was a Rem 572 pump, never will be sold.
