Strut10 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I picked up a new rifle today. A Remington Model 5 .22 LR. I looked at this rifle last weekend at the gunshop and was pretty impressed with the overall quality, fit, finish, etc. Beautiful, deep gloss bluing........very nice laminated stock with slick checkering. I didn't pay particularly close attention to the pricetag and what a deal I was looking at.......until I got home and started nosing around the internet. The thing was basically $120 off!!!!!! There was actually one on GunBroker this morning that had a couple hous left to go and it was going to sell for at least $80 more than what I paid for mine. I did not see the final selling price of the GunBroker rifle. Anyways.......I drove back up to the gunshop and snagged me one. I believe I'll top it with a 3x9 or 2x10 glass and terrorize the tin cans around the neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yep I would have done the same thing you did, nice gun there. You CAN do the same thing as I did. There's more where mine came from.........just about an hour & 1/2 out the big road from your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Nice gun Don! I love my .22, it's great to get out and shoot off a couple hundred rounds at cans and paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007hunter Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 How ironic. Cabelas has these on sale for $189 right now and guess where I'm heading. I just happened to stop in and see your post. Hope they have one left.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hope they have one left.... If they don't..........you're in the same boat as Spike King. 1 1/2 hours down 80 and you can have one. 12:00 to 4:00 today, I believe.

Nope, they were gone. Major disappointment, as I was looking forward to getting a new toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Nice looking .22 Don. Got my 7 year old shooting her 597 yesterday, coffee cans and milk jugs inside 75 yards didn't stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yes, I thought about getting one of those at Cabelas when they were on sale, it went off sale Feb 1st. I wound up buying reloading supplies instead. I wish they had it in a mAgNuM though:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 New Remmy .22's a shooter!!!! Finally got a few minutes to go out and semi-dial in the new .22 today. I stuck an inexpensive fixed 4x scope on it in some Leupold rings and had at it. Shot some Wal-Mart Federal hollowpoints from a semi-crappy rest at 50 yards. The little Zastava/Remington was wanting to stack the bullt holes one on top of the other. I'm liking it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry264 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Sounds nice strut, wish my speedmaster shot like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Sounds like a sweet little rig. I really prefer bolt .22s. I am still shooting while everony is reloading their semis. My little Marlin is a tackdriver at 50 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 It's really turned out to be waaaaay more gun than the little bit of money I paid for it would suggest. I'm liking it lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
