So, the safe is starting to get a bit full. My first
thought was " I need second safe", but SWMBO might disagree with that assessment. A quick inventory shows that I have five .22s. The question is which to part with? #1 is a 1981, first year of production, 77/22, all original with the exception of the extended mag release needed for my fat fingers. I have the original that can be reinstalled. #2 is a 10/22 in a Fajen stock, 16 1/2" heavy barrel with a muzzle break, it's had a trigger job for a nice clean 3 lb let off. Both wear Leupold glass and shoot well. The other three are sort of off the table; my Anschutz 54.18 silhouette gun which was a gift from SWMBO, a carbine barrel for the T/C Contender, and an archaic Mossberg Model 46 boy's rifle that was my first gun. Thoughts? Thanks, 788 |

Keep the most accurate.
unless you have kids/grandkids, the Mossberg would go first. The Contender barrel next. then the 77/22. The anshutz and 10/22 would be my keepers. Just my thoughts. yours are the thoughts that matter. PS I just bought a second low cost safe. Edited by BEAR |

Sell SWMBO on black market, get a new safe and motorcycle upgrades, keep current collection and add another from Montana gun show during MYGAWDS......just my thoughts....

Convert the 77/22 to 17 Mach 2.
It will fix your too many .22's problem. It will keep it in mint condition because you won't find any ammo to shoot it. DD |

Fella's;
Well, the Contender barrel doesn't count in my book, it takes up very close to zero room. Besides, it's a single shot which is about as useless as mammaries on a goldfish for a MYGAWDS shooter, so I wouldn't miss it if it were gone either. My personal opinion is that five .22's is not too many. I don't know how many I have, but I do know it's more than five. I will note that the way to sell SWMBO on a new safe is to list the advantages to her. I used to do this professionally you understand. By upgrading from an RSC to a true safe you will get far superior thermal protection. Then get it large enough to allow her some room in it also. A huge selling point is preservation of the wedding pictures and stuff she inherited from her mother. The protected interior volume of a safe is the cheapest part of it. In other words, a safe twice the size will not cost twice as much. Go big. 900F |
