I learned to shoot with a Springfield. 22 single shot bolt action. It was boring back then but I appreciate it now.

OP, I have the fraternal twin of your 22.
The Remington 512 Sportmaster. Was given to me by my Great Grandfather, who was born in 1901 and died in 2003. He had great stories about various shooting and hunting escapades. |

I spent time finding and buying 5 Remington 510 Targetmasters about 20 years ago. I used them for teaching the rifle merit badge to scouts back when I was a BSA leader. I have since passed 3 of them along to my sons and one to a nephew. I kept one that was made in 1936 and the nicest of the bunch.
Other vintage 22 rifles I have include an FN Trombone, and a Quackenbush 22 Boys Rifle. The vintage 22’s are getting harder to find but occasionally pop up at estate sales or when someone passes away and the family is trying to liquidate the firearms of the deceased. I enjoy how well some of them were made. The 510 for example is all steel with an American walnut stock. It is built like a tank and just a fun rifle to shoot. Great for beginners because it is single shot and resets the safety after every shot. It forces the shooter to focus on basics instead of just blasting. |

No pic, but my grandfather left me a Winchester Model 74 that spits out .22 shorts. It's a hoot and I remember shooting it as a kid. Love that little rifle.
It's more accurate than a pellet gun and not as loud as a spring/break barrel. It kills me when it spits one out and you can hear it thud into the ground a few seconds later.

I have a pre-war Walther Meisterbuchse Sportmodell single shot bolt action rifle my uncle handed down to me years ago.
The rifle sports something like a 26” barrel (or thereabouts in centimeters), a trigger set for about 12 OUNCES, and some strange Walther rotary aperture rear sight. It is PHENOMENALLY accurate, even with junky bulk ammo. It actually outperforms my CZ457 using that crap ammo while I feed the CZ good stuff like Eley Club. |

Soon as I did I immediately went on gunbroker and bought one lol. That style of action is begging for a suppressor, I'd imagine it would be perfect other than the tube. Anyone actually found a BSA Ralock in the US? Other than the one featured on C&Rsenal I've yet to see one for sale or in the wild. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A vintage .22 has been on my "want" list for a while now, but I'm not exactly sure what I should be searching for. I think I'd like a working man's .22, but something nice. Like a guy that grew up poor, that's been working hard his whole life and finally has a little change in his pocket. He goes out and buys a "nice" .22. Not the nicest rifle money can buy, but something quality that he'll pass down to his kids. What would that rifle have been, say before 1950? @Logan45 there’s a whole world of answers to that question. You could go European or domestic, peep sights or traditional iron sights, or set up for scopes. My Remington 341-P (the P is for Peep) is to me the height of ‘working guns’. I bought it because my grandpa had one. For a true target rifle you could get a Remington 513 or 521. Or a Mossberg 144 trainer. On the European side you could get an old Anschutz. Or a Brno model 1, the grandfather of todays current CZ 452/455/457 rifles. Or just get a Winchester 52 Sporter and call it a day. It really depends on budget. |

Pre-war Mauser, I think this particular model designation is ES340N.
They made a bewildering variety of .22s. At least it seemed like that when I was digging away while researching this one.  Attached FileThis particular one is getting put up simply because there's a pic of it on this device. I sometimes think that I am running a shelter for old guns around my place. Honest question here: how old is vintage? What date of introduction or manufacture or whatever is the cutoff? |

I have a Remington Target Master Model 41 that was my grand dads. It was also the first gun I ever shot. I was around 5 years old and it was about as long as I was tall.
I have a couple Stevens Favorite rifles. The 25 was my great great grand dads on my dad's side of the family, and the 22 was my great grand dads on my mom's side.

The old Remington “Teeners” (510, 514, etc), if the bores are still good, are more accurate than the rimfire junk they’re cranking out today. An exception might be the early CZ 452/453 rifles.
