Thread: 22lr/22wmr over and under?

So my uncle has a 22lr/410 gauge over and under break action that is quite a nice little rifle.

Does anyone know if anyone produces a 22lr and 22 magnum version? Surely there must be some market for them as a "survivalist" rifle having 2 common calibers. I've had a quick Google and not much come up other than that shitty double barrel pistol that is quite gimmicky (also lost my B endorsement due to inactivity)

They're the modern version of the Cape rifle the one gun for both fur and feather. Tikka, brno, blazer have all made them along with savage, marble etc. 410/.22 was popular with the anericans, 16 or 12 with a centre fire mostly for the others. If your thinking a double rifle type thing, one barrel .22lr, the other .22 mag I see a whole lot of disadvantages like oops 22 LR in the mag barrel and no advantage.

baikal is probably your best bet. good luck getting one though. Harrington and Richard went broke if i recall correctly.

Hi i havent seen one but if you used a 410/22 mag combo and added a 22lr insert in the 410 barrel
but as the 410 is center fire i would use a centerfire pistol insert that would give you more oomph and easier to set up to eject
Not a lot of difference between a 22 lr and 22 magnum but if you went 22lr and a 17hmr/or 17 wsm you would have something interesting hahaa
Seeya down the wabbit hole

.22WMR subsonic.

So I've got a Ruger american in 17hmr and a savage Bmag 17wsm already to satisfy those itches. I was a silly bugger and sold my 22 ruger american that shot oh so beautifully and had been cut down to minimum legal length (just enough thread past forend for suppressor) and figured I would try and complete the rimfire collection with 2 bird 1 stone.

Might end up having to make it the triple collection of stainless ruger Americans in 22 and 22 wmr with the same optics and what not... will tell the missus they're the same rifle when I pull them out at different times

Was taking my wmr [magnum] for a run yesterday retesting some ammo brands and weights as have order off Ammo Direct a couple of packets
Federal mag. 45grain JHP i know the Valquartsen likes the heavy pills.
anyway came across a packet of subsonic 22 WMR ammo 45 grain and let loose with these shot rather low but a very good group Very very quiet via the suppressor
dont know if you can still get them Cheers
