That is a great looking rifle and I love that rear sight! Looks like a dream to shoot!
I have an old Steven's Favorite Take-down 22, falling block action. It's in rough shape, should have passed on it but I wanted one so bad. It doesn't eject the casing like it should. However, the few times i've fired it, it has proved accurate. I haven't done enough research to know just how old it is. Still need to save my pennies and get one in great/new condition.

A 1935 vintage Remington M34P with factory Lyman peep. Light, lean and extremely accurate. They made them from 1932 - 1935. Sold for $6 back then.  |

My oldest is a Stevens Favorite 1889. She came complete but didn't function properly. With a little tweaking all works well.  Second is a Stevens Buckhorn Model 56 that came to me from the back closet of a member of another forum I belong to. I traded a couple old gun books for this rifle. Likely he got the better value of the deal but I'm happy. The trigger needed work as the trigger pull was like pulling a gritty double action revolver. The bore was full of dust but cleaned up to a bright shine. I seriously doubt that this rifle had ever been shot with much frequency.  I had it drilled and tapped and mounted a scope that likely is more valuable than the rifle itself. I'm currently getting ready for my next trip out to the range to see just what this rifle is capable of.  Oh, and I removed the shoulder pad, fabricated an aluminum new one that I painted with truck bed liner for grip. |

I don't have any good pictures, but have an old Winchester pump, with octagon barrel, a pair of Stevens Crackshots that I relined the barrels & attempting to make them shoot equally for some friendly gallery competition... also have an Ithaca lever falling block single shot with a Lyman peep sight... & a couple other oldies I haven't looked at lately

This is my BSA Model 12b small frame Martini, which was manufactured around 1925. It's very accurate.   |

This is my BSA Model 12b small frame Martini, which was manufactured around 1925. It's very accurate. What caliber is that? I think that's a great looking firearm! Is it very compact? |

 52 C possibly the best trigger I have ever experienced |

The 12b is a .22 or, as it's English markings say a ".220." The action is compact, but the overall rifle is bulky and a bit heavy (about 8 lbs) as befits a target rifle. BSA also made handier field models on the small frame Martini action, some in centerfire calibers. Here's a link to additional info: link |

No pictures but I have a Colt Colteer single shot bolt action 22mag. Has a cool little barrel band on the end of the barrel (to help tame the recoil). I keep looking for a Colteer scope to go on it but I keep missing the boat when they appear. It's on my project list find the right ammo, it was spraying 22lr the last time I took it to the range. I know it's accurate, or was, it was my moms squirrel gun.

Here are a few of my "vintage" rimfire rifles...oldest first...all older than I am! Winchester Model 1890 - a .22 short only rifle. Manufactured in early 1914. The seller told me it had a bad bore and priced it accordingly...once home, a single pull through with the Bore-Snake proved him wrong. The bore was nearly 100%! That was a good day.  Lee Enfield BSA Co. - #2 Mk IV* - Trainer - Mfg. 1913 - Converted to rimfire in the 1920s - extremely accurate!  Winchester Model 1906 - manufactured in 1926.  Winchester Model 61 - manufactured in late 1947  Winchester Model 75 Sporter with Lyman Peep - manufactured in 1950  Winchester Model 52B Sporter with "Texan" scope - manufactured in 1951  Marlin Model 39A - pre Golden - manufactured in 1954  Marlin Model 56 Levermatic with Lyman peep - manufactured in 1955  |

Not often seen, let alone many folks are not aware of this fine 'ol classic from Steyr-Daimler-Puch, Austria. Steyr Zephyr .22 LR, early 1960's, DST's and Hensoldt Wetzlar 2 1/2x with German No. 1 reticle. Not a Stoeger import. Wonderfully accurate! Almost boring hitting .40 S&W empty brass out to 40-50 yards. Makes for a nice pup to accompany a few Model 1903 Mannlicher Schoenauer 6.5x54 carbines.
