which are you

I prefer the Model 60, just wish they had a more robust stock, like for example, a 10/22 stock

My first .22 was a Winchester 72 and that spoiled me. Still have and cherish it.

But my newest favorite is this ol' guy. I've shot more .22s in the last two months than the previous two decades. This thing is just too much fun.

A part of The Great Sell-Off of 2001 was a Winchester Model 270 that was used by the last legal pigeon control officer in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. I bought the rifle from his son which came in a custom made box and had a special compartment with a letter from the Chief of Police authorizing the named bearer of the letter to shoot any and all pigeons. The first of these rifles were made in 1963 so apparently shooting rifles in the city limits of Vancouver was still legal, at least for some quite late in the modern era. Apparently, as I was told the Pigeon Control officer did most of his 'culling of the herd' near the wheat pools but was authorized to shoot pigeons anywhere.

I like .22 handguns. My 2 favorites are a couple of High Standards. One is an Olympic .22 short with the original box, paperwork and barrel weights. The other is a Model B U. S. in very nice condition.

I like .22 caliber pistols also. Beyond all doubt, the most accurate handgun I own is a High Standard Citation. While I bought it primarily to be my serious small-bore Bullseye pistol, on a lark I tired it in IHMSA small bore silhouette during the Eighties. Using run of the mill T22 ammo it would clean the course in every class except revolver. A Colt Officers Model Match was the killer of 100 meter rams in the Revolver category.

Now there is an informal old geezers "match" for beer and bragging rights at the local indoor range. On a good night, a 1938 model Iver Johnson Supershot, will hold it's own against the Rugers and Smiths.
