Re: The good ol .22 Long Rifle...

Off the top of my head I can't tell you how many .22s I own. Maybe a dozen? A bunch anyways. Some days I'll pack up 5 or 6 and head down to the range for a few hours. Just about every time I go to WM I buy a few boxes of Federal bulk.

I think tomorrow will just such a day.

Re: The Mother of all .357 mag. Rifle Thread.

Well my Rossi 92 is just about my favorite firearm. .357 has long been my favorite caliber. I have more firearms chambered for it then any other. Including the semi-auto Coonan. I went and copied that web pages to a Word document so I can read it offline when I have time.

I've been wanting a pump action .22 for awhile now but prices were never right. Last night I found a Remington 572 on gunbroker for 175. So I bought it after doing some research on that model. I should have it in about a week. It looks a bit rough but I'm hoping it is a good shooter.
