My New .22
by 22lrfan on Sun Oct 16, 2011 9:38 pm
I was walking around the Birmingham gun show yesterday and a guy walked by with a .22 rifle that caught my attention. We talked for a while and I ended up bringing it home. I've been wanting to try F-Class .22 so now I've just got to buy some ammo and start practicing. This is a Remington 40x with a Redfield 3200 16x scope. I also got the open sights with it, a Redfield Olympic for the front and a Redfield Palma for the rear. There are a couple of small scratches on the stock but the only bluing wear is on the bolt knob. I'm going to try this scope but I may end up putting it on one of my other .22's and get a 32x or 36x for this one.

That's a nice rifle you have mounted to your scope. Good lord that is one long scope.

You beat the bushes but get some nice rifles. What do you use for pricing them, internet, blue books? I would have no idea what that was worth.

I use the Blue Book for info about them and value. I also use Ebang to get prices since a lot of the Blue Book prices are low. I've been looking at a lot of the .22 rifles for sale on Rimfire Central so I had a good idea of what this rifle/scope were worth and the price he was asking was excellent.

Thanks, I had never heard of Ebang. I like Rimfire Central also. You got a nice rifle/scope there.

Not really fair, Your scope is already half way to the target.
Nice pick-up.

I have always dreamed of finding a gun like that. It was the first target rifle I ever shot and I made one hole with 3 shots (yes first time with a target gun ever) and it was the first 3 shots with that gun to boot. I thought I had missed two of the shots. Well to a boy of 13 that was the greatest thing ever....... I was hooked. Got into target rifles, but then I found handguns and never looked back. You see it was never anything for me to do with a rifle. The handgun I had to work for it. Sorry to get off like that she is a fine looking lady, very fine lady. I would love to find one like her. I love the old style target scopes and sights.
