I just got a Winchester Model 190 that was at one time my step-dads and I LOVE it. It is in awsome condition for being as old and used as much as it once was, It has killed a hog. squirrels, possums, skunks, and hopefully soon a coyote. I have a Browning 7mm Mag. and have more fun shooting small game than large, and with the bipod and BMF activator it is the coolest thing ever and bullets being $1.00 at Wal-Mart for 50 rounds thats hard to beat I just wanna know does anybody else have as much fun with their .22 or other gun/guns? or am I obssesed??

No you are by no means obessesed. I have my great-grandpa shotguns and my late grandpa's old .22. Both aren't in shooting conidition but i'm going to restore them both for my future kids or grand kids to have.

i just got a remington 597 semi .22 it is in mossy oak break up. i love the thing. have already put over 500 rounds through it in about a week. by the bulk federal ammo at wally world. $9 for a box of 550. shoots great too. i put a blazer 4x32 on it for now. i can shoot a golf ball from 65 yards away.

I've got my father's Ruger Mark 2, and Marlin 780, both in .22. Both are fun to shoot and I generally keep between 2 and 3000 rounds of .22 for whatever occassion. Also, my father has yet to pass down my great great grandfather's single action Army Colt in .38-40. It still works and is all original, with the exception for a single screw. I'm the only kid in the family who wants it, so I'm fairly confident it'll go to me, as well. This isn't an obsession, it's respect for heritage.

I sitll have my father Remington M41, he bought it new in 1936. It's got no blue left but still works good.

rick,
you can have guns re-blued. (you probably knew this just wanted to bring it to your attention)

if its a nice gun it would be worth it to me.

O god no you are not obsessed, I play with mine all the time. Plinkin glass and what not.
