Guess that I am addicted to 22's. Have 7 handguns, 7 rifles. Love to shoot 22's, always looking for something that I don't have. Anyone else addicted to 22's?

Now not as bad as you I do have a couple of pistols and three rifles.  I love how cheap the ammo used to be if you can find it.  The accuracy is great and the price of the guns is probably the ultimate seller for me.  ecspecially the used market pick up a good rifle for 100 at a gun show

How do you know if you're addicted?  :confused:    I have 4 (one hand, three long) of the 22 flavor and really feel like I need another one or two.  :sofa:

I did have one but I replaced it with a bullet casting addiction.

Lots more variety, more fun.

Fella's;

Guilty as charged. I'm waiting on the delivery of my Browning left hand T-bolt target/varmint wood stock in .22 magnum. I paid more for the thing than good sense allows for, but I just had to do it doc! I had to!!

At last roll call, I counted 32 rimfires in my gun closet, of everything from .17HMR, through the .22LR on up to .22WMR - handguns and rifles.

Uh, I'm NOT addicted......  I can stop whenever I want......  just don't want to!  Yeah, that's my story......  :cool:

Not quite as addicted as bigdog, but #23 just followed me home in the form of a T=Bolt target. Those blasted rimfires are as bad as a hungry alley cat.... They WILL FOLLOW YOU HOME! :wink:

6 handguns and 2 rifles. I shoot 2 of the handguns and one of the rifles more than all my other guns put together. Many times I have trouble staying under 2,000 rounds of .22's per month.
