Recommendations for a .22LR Revolver

[Glocker23]

Was wondering of the Rimfire Six Shooter experts could recommend some nice .22LR revolver options to look at?

On and off roster options as well.

Thanks in advance for the help.

If you don't mind something that's a little heavy, the Smith&Wesson model 617 is about as good as it gets. If you want something a little smaller/lighter, the model 63 is a pretty good option.

Thanks! How do they compare price wise? Also is there any roster issues post 2013 for these?

No contest. Ruger bearcat.





More fun than should be legally allowed.

Looks Super RM.

Is that a rostered gun?

Not needed. Single action revolvers are roster exempt. There's a thread somewhere about it.

Supposedly the story of it is that the cowboy shooters (SASS) sold out he rest of us and supported the roster in exchange for leaving SA revolvers exempt.

How big could the Cowboy Shooter lobby be? I'd still want AR/AK/Tavor/Saiga/cool stuff with detachable mags in addition to my six shooter.

What do you want to do with it?

Unless you are looking for a really small, light, 'kit gun' the S&W 617 is the business. I mine is the 4", 10 shot version. Same rough size and weight as any of their mid frame revolvers in larger calibers, so it definitely doesn't look or feel like a toy. Same build quality too. Great S&W sights, great trigger, and 10 shots. Want to blast away at soda cans double action with iron sights? Gun can do that. Want to take careful aim at soda cans far away in single action? Gun can do that. Want to throw a scope on it? Gun can do that too.

Looks good, feels good, shoots good, the 617 is everything you could want. I forbid you to leave the standard rubber grip on it though. It must be replaced with a nice looking set of wood stocks.

It's expensive for a 22 - but considering it will last your whole life - totally worth it.

Only thing the 617 isn't good for is stuffing in a front pocket or tackle box for a hike, fishing trip, or whatever. If that's what you are looking for, I don't think you can do better than an old model 43. J frame 2" gun in aluminum. Or the new 317.

I'm a big fan of the Ruger Single-Six Convertable.
