Nice looking piece; more like a Hawken with that trigger guard. Wasn't available in LH when I got mine. Swivel studs were an add-on because I tend to have my hands full when I go hunting. Synthetic ram rod helps to avoid the broken ranrod frustration (and occasional injury).

Keep the thread on track. If you have a dissenting position then feel free to start your own thread if you want to open this up to debate. You're going to get this closed and I'm not going to apologize for any of my other hobbies. Got it?

Does anyone here have any experience with the Walther P22? I've got a friend of mine who I let shoot my Ruger 22/45 and she did well with it. Also did well with my old Ruger Mark II. We went upstairs afterwards to look at a few in the case and she seemed to take a liking to it. It's a tad small in my hands but fit hers pretty good. They also had a Sig Mosquito, but I've read some so-so reports on the web about that one.

Any chances of leaving the discussion out of this thread before it gets locked, and at this rate, I don't doubt it's too late?
Everybody has an opinion on the issue of guns / careless use / right to own, etc, and most are completely beat-your-head-against-the-wall set in it so it's not like anybody will change their point of view easily. Everybody also has some logical way to explain why they're "right" and I'm sorry I posted a discussion type comment in this thread.
Some of the collector's weapons here are really beautiful and some are just interesting, and Old Pa, I was talking about the Winchester you posted in Post 144.
I really don't want to get this thread locked by going completely off-topic.

Don't buy a Sig Mosquito. Way too many issues.
I own a P22 and I love mine. You will find some "reliability" claims as each gun (Like any gun) does better with certain ammo then others. I ran 500 rounds through mine the other day within 2 hours and had no FTE's. It's a great gun and a fun gun to shoot. Nice thing also is that it shoots cheap .22 ammo.
I tried a quite a few of the .22 caliber handguns but liked the price, ergonomics, and such of the P22 more then others. It's also a very fun gun to shoot suppressed and is good to introduce you into the world of Class 3 items.

I have no pictures, but a Mosin-Nagant M44, 7.62mm X 54R, almost exactly like the OP's, and a 12-gauge shotgun I'm "borrowing" from my dad. I'd like to eventually get a scoped .22 and a 9mm (thinking about the Ruger P95).

I could swear that the gun shop here said it's great but just a bit finicky with ammo. Something like lead only is best? Can't remember. If they made a +2 cap for the end of the magazine I would probably have no problem. Hope she buys one. They have one for range rent there so next time I go I'll suggest that she rent it and see how it works for her.
