My dad had one where the bolt would lock in closed position and let you shoot short and long. My newer one says long rifle only. Guess I will try a short in it.Everybody suggesting the 10/22 seems to have missed this part....
I love the 10/22 but the model 60 will fire short and long if I had to pick just 1 22 it would be the 60.
I am looking for an "end of civilization" .22 rifle.
My requirements are durable, easy to fix, common parts, shoots a variety of .22 ammo, durable, accurate, easy to shoot, and durable.
Oh, did I mention that it needed to be durable?
Basically, this is the "workhorse" gun you will be using if society comes to a screeching halt.
It is important that it can shoot a variety of .22 rounds, since one will not be able to pick-and-choose what is available.
Thanks!
the 10/22 is the most popular rifle in the WORLD.... there is a reason for that
10/22
Also the Henry lever action is fun to shoot.
