Not looking at the RAI double stack 17 round model 52000? It goes for 1000-1200 , but the gun is hand fitted by their gunsmiths and is match grade with nothing needed to make it ready for competition. Another double stack 10 mm competitor of it is STI and it goes for $2700. The RAI double stack they have managed to make the recoil feel and act more like a 9mm recoi. This translates to a 357 magnum round equivalent with a 9mm feel allowing you to quickly and accurately stay on target with less time between rounds.

This gun could be confidently (any 10mm really) carried in bear country with no fear of not having enough firepower to drop a bear if it were to come to that. ( hopefully no one is going to have to test their marksmanship against a moving bear.)

Have a link David? Haven't seen a STI under $2300 and it goes up from there.

Still shopping for a 10mm. Surprising how popular they have become recently and most are out of stock. Hopefully this weekend will have some ammo sales also.

The first "10" is on its way and I'm stoked! A week of videos, articles and reviews this was one of the best. If you can find one!

Found one in Utah early this morning. Listing was three hours old so the early bird really does catch the worm.

Lipsey's exclusive released in May of 2015 by Sig Sauer in three models. Two SA models and one SA/DA which is the one I wanted. This is the P220 model with five inch barrel. I wanted the latter with Sig night sights and G10 grips.

These Lipsey's models aren't even listed on the Sig Sauer website. Very fortunate to find one. I'll post pictures when it arrives but here are some from Lipsey's web site.

Did you get the Sig P220 SA/DA with the night sights and G10 grips? It was not clear to me reading it if you did get the one you wanted.

Yes, the P220 Elite 10mm, SA/DA with g10 grips and sig night sights. It's the reverse two tone in the pictures. The other two were single action only with rear target sights.

10mm can be a punishing round with lower grain bullets but the Sig shines from what I have read. Weighs in at 39 ounces unloaded. Very accurate, will see.

Hopefully a good sale this Holiday as I want to order up 500 rounds. Have 300 now. Lowest I've paid is 45 cents a round for Sig Sauer Performance ammo. The lower grain high power HP ammo is around a buck a round so it can get expensive.

I just stumbled on this and drug it back out. My brother gave me Dad's old Ranger 101.16 22 semi auto rifle and another one like it. They were sold at Sears and Montgomery Wards and are the same as a Savage 6a and sold under several other names. By the patents I think they are between 1937 and 1945 with one being older having a patent pending rather than the second number. Unfortunately he drilled both of them for a scope mount. I'm trying to buy an old period correct weaver scope with a bolt on mount that will hopefully cover the new drilled holes.
My mom broke the trigger guard and my uncle made a new one from steel plate. I may smooth the edges but it's a family thing so I won't replace it with a correct part. On occasion either will dent the rim but not fire the bullet, so I'm going to replace a firing pin and spring to see if it gets cured. Almost every part is available used or reproduction. Anyway, I'm having a blast click clacking the bolt and punching targets. I also exercised the AMT stainless 45 auto. while I was out.

Don, take the bolt apart and clean the snot out of it, I bet it will work then. If you have an ultrasonic cleaner that would work really good.

I bet as old as those rifles are they have never been really cleaned out super good. Plus any old lube that is in there has probably turned into cake.

I have an old marlin semi auto that would only fire one shot then jam. Took it apart several times and scrubbed the crap out of it and it now functions just fine, no new parts at all.

Thanks, I will do that before I buy anything. I found a database on them and it appears they are both pre ww2 and sold at Sears. 1939 to whenever they stopped making them when the war started. In 45 they started making them at a different factory and have many more patent numbers. My Dad's gun has one patent from '37 and a pending indicating at least '39, the other one has two patent numbers indicating t's slightly newer. I missed the vintage scope I was bidding on, then another really nice one.

Don R · « **Reply #167 on:** December 14, 2019, 05:50:41 PM »

I just snagged a pair of old 3/4" weaver scopes off ebay, one has the tip in mount which works with what's on one now. I missed the cheap one with an N3 mount because I waited too long to bid.
My brother said he had one of these two 22's repaired, it got a new spring and lifter to load the next cartridge. The gun smith had both rifles apart at the time. I'll still check inside but expect to find them clean. I had a mixed box of old bullets so I think I'll do some more testing.

Don R · « **Reply #168 on:** December 16, 2019, 02:20:59 PM »

My brother played Santa and brought these, oops pic didn't post, a possibly pre war Savage 22 bolt action and a cricket youth model 22 with no safety keys. I ordered two keys.
Edit, the bolt action is a Savage 86c tube fed bolt action 22 from 1951. It has a beautiful walnut stock, Savage used the best parts on their name brand guns, all of the store models got cheaper stuff. If it fit my semi auto, I'd swap them. I realized tonight the rifle that had a scope can't use the combination of scope and mount without removing the iron sight. That would be like cutting the bars out of a 750 frame. Not happening.

RAFster122s · « **Reply #169 on:** December 17, 2019, 08:53:00 PM »

My Dad had a Savage single shot bolt action .22 with steel sights, no scope and it is a nice rifle. Just picked up an old scoped (Weaver I think) .22 single shot bolt action Remington from a friend for a good price. He refinished the stock before selling it to me. She’s not perfect by any stretch but she is a good solid rifle that will be fun to re-hone my rifle skills with, as I want to improve my long range abilities... as I find that self competition/improvement of target shooting enjoyable. I have a good friend who will help me and critique me as he is skilled with long guns and handguns.

Hey,

Just a reminder. If anyone has a beloved Model 700 Remington that still has the Walker trigger mechanism, please consider having the trigger mechanism replaced with the true safety type. Mr. Walker's true Safety design was introduced shortly after his original "Walker Trigger" went into production. Remington axed the fix way back in 1948 I think when it was just 5.5 cents per rifle.

All pre 1984 guns are believed to have Walker Triggers......

Do your research and get yours updated....There have been too many family tragedies over this rifle...

Dang guys, I am bit afraid what will happen in Virginia next year. Seems like we are really farked now.

I mean, I lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident, but what if I want to buy another gun?

Don R · « **Reply #172 on:** December 18, 2019, 05:56:50 PM »

Thanks for the Remington reminder. I checked, no 700's here. Having only daughters, I was surprised when they had fun shooting. They like racing so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. Santa is sending out the Savage bolt action and the keystone cricket with accessories.
I got advise to buy up some spare parts for the oldies while they are available. I have about a hundred in springs and firing pins in my shopping cart.
