I was using a fawn in distress call on my caller to try to call up a coyote or bobcat.  I was in one of my shooting houses that I hunt deer from.  The shooting house is next to a fence along the property line with about a 185 yard open lane in front…Continue

OK.  Here we go.  The Uberti is mine, the others are my FIL's new .22's.  We're really getting into the rolling and falling block style, but he couldn't pass up that model 12 looking almost perfect and all...

Andrew, breathlessly awaiting pics!  LOL

I got the Uberti in on Tuesday.  What a neato little gun.  My FIL also had a couple arrive this week.  His was an old Stevens rolling block and a Remington model 12.  Both are in suprisingly good shape and shootable right out of the box.  The model 12 is one that has always brought a smile to my face.  What a gun. 

My little Uberti .22 mag shoots good too.  No patterns yet, only a function type testing.  Fun times.  New guns.

I've been looking at one of those airweight snubbys.  One of the guys in the shop has one and I like it a lot!  I like that Marline lever action you've got.  I bought a Marlin lever acction .30/30 when I was 14 and used it to kill my first deer.  Last year I got a really nice Marlin lever action .44 magnum.  I like that cartridge through a rifle.  Its too stiff for me to do any good shooting it through a pistol though. 

I've been looking to get a .357 lever action so I can carry a pistol and rifle of the same caliber and take deer with it.  I have a couple of 9mm rifles, but those aren't for deer.  Nice to have in a bug out bag though.

I like your post Andy.  When you get it I would like to see a picture of that rolling block.  The only .22 mag that I have is the magnum cylinder for my Ruger Single Six.  Which BTW I leave in the Single Six because I have  a S&W Model 317 Airlite .22 LR that I love to carry when out in the woods.

The 317 is an 8 shot with 3" barrel and adjustable sights.  It is so light weight that I don't even feel it hanging on my hip.  So far I have killed a groundhog, a possum, and 4 or 5 mice with it.  Oh, and also a lizard.  The groundhog, mice, and lizard were invading my deer shooting house which you can see part of in this picture.  The groundhog was about a 25 yard shot.

One less groundhog

I have never had a Model 60 but I do own a Marlin Golden 39A Mountie (1967 vintage).

I used to have a Beretta Minx .22 short and a Tomcat .32 auto.  I forget what I traded the Minx in on but I traded the Tomcat for a Ruger LCP .380 which is now part of my EDC package.  Another part of my EDC package is an S&W Airweight .38 snub.

I know how you feel about the Glock.  No one has ever been able to satisfactorily explain to me what that safety on the trigger buys you.  If someone or something pulls that trigger, the gun is going to fire just like my Ruger P97 which has no safety (decocker only).  And if the trigger isn't pulled, the gun is not going to fire,again just like my P97.  Now my Ruger P89 has a thumb safety and if the safety is on, the trigger can be pulled all day long and the gun will not fire.  And on the P89, the safety is also a decocker.

Andy, ask all the questions you want.  I am sure someone here will able to answer them and glad to do it.

I feel like I'm standing in front of a gun 7 step program group here.  LOL. 

Hi everyone, my name is Andy, and I spend too much $ on guns.  Yesterday I joined because I was giddy about a new one I'm waiting to receive.  Its a Uberti rolling block .22 magnum.  I fell for the .22 magnum cartridge last year and I've been having a blast shooting a little Marlin bolt action .22 mag around the property every time I visit my folks.  Probably could just stick to .22LR for cheaper, but i really like the extra snap that magnum has.

My last gun was a .22 lr.  Its a Marlin model 60 in SS and plywood, its in the back of my SUV.  Its the first new in box model 60 I've ever owned.  I've had a few, but they all came in the $60 range in the used gun bin.  I've never modded one, but this one had a plastic trigger guard, so I replaced that with an aluminum one I got off the net. 

Today's carry piece is my little Beretta Bobcat.  The one I usually carry is an FN-S9.  I like the FN better than my Glock because of the thumb safety, which I find makes me feel so much more comfortable with that thing stuck down the back of my pants.  My friend says that silly, but my Glock stays in the safe under the bed.

I like collecting carbines.  I have a few good ones now.  I'm always on the lookout for another one in pistol calibers.  Right now the Chiappa M1 clone in 9 mm is what I'm constantly checking for. 

I'm not one of those folks that is a vast source of knowledge about guns, ammo, and ballistics.  I'm more of an enthusiast and a guy pestering y'all who do know this stuff with questions.

Great post Shlomo!  Thanks guys, I like to see good posts like this.

Comment by Shlomo ben Maved on September 15, 2014 at 17:23

One thing I forgot to mention -- .22 rimfire is a .224 while .22 centerfire is .223 and they are NOT compatible between cartridges.
