target rifle
A rifle is a portable, long-barrelled firearm designed for precision-oriented shooting, to be held with both hands and braced against the shoulder for stability during firing, and with a barrel that has a helical pattern of grooves ("rifling") cut into the bore wall. The term was originally rifled gun, with the word "rifle" referring to the machining process of creating groovings with cutting tools, and is now used for any long handheld device designed for well-aimed discharge activated by a trigger, such as the personnel halting and stimulation response rifle. Rifles are used extensively in warfare, law enforcement, hunting and shooting sports.
Like all typical firearms, a rifle's projectile (bullet) is propelled by the contained deflagration of a combustible propellant compound (originally black powder, later cordite, and now nitrocellulose), although other means such as compressed air are used in air rifles, which are popular for vermin control, hunting small game, formal target shooting and casual shooting ("plinking"). The raised areas of a rifle's rifling are called "lands", which make contact with and exert torque on the projectile, imparting a spin around the longitudinal axis of the barrel. When the projectile leaves the barrel, this spin lends gyroscopic stability to the projectile and prevents tumbling in flight, in the same way that a spirally thrown American football or rugby ball behaves. This allows the use of aerodynamically-efficient bullets (as opposed to the spherical balls used in muskets) and thus improves range and accuracy.
My son wants to pursue .22 target shooting. I have accurate .22 sporting rifles, but he wants to use a real target rifle. I see Winchester 52C target models occasionally for decent prices, and missed the ones advertised on NWF in 2019. I kind of like them.
I am not looking for a museum...
I’m selling this fully custom, mostly Kidd target 10/22. I built this for NRL22 competition, but ended up going another route and building a base class gun. I considered keeping this one as well, but I need to raise some money for other projects, so I’m offering it up here. This is just about as...

These rifles were mfg. 1932 - 1940 and the barrels were drilled/tapped for scopes and selected for accuracy. The Lyman 1A windgage tang site was only available on this rifle and the model 417. Rifle weighs 6.5 lbs. with a 26" bbl. The scope is a Wollensak from that time period and has the...

Ok, so it was suggested to me to buy one of these, had I ever ran across one. This was, of course, before I bought my 1949 winchester model 52B. As my luck would have it, I did run across one of these cute little savage rifles. I found it a few weeks ago when I was in Winnemucca, visiting my...
