P-990 I'm a .22 lover too, you mentioned your old Remington 514 in your post. I got a 514 for my 16th birthday, my first real rifle. I had a Weaver V22 scope mounted on it years ago and have hunted small game with it over the years, very accurate. I'm 73 now and that 514 still looks like new.I also have a Remington 552 Speed Master BDL a Ruger Single Six convertable, and a Mk1 Target with a 6 7/8 inch heavy tapered barrel. hdbiker

One of the things I love about .22s is that I don't have to budget time to reload. I like reloading, but keeping up with expenditures can take a while even with a progressive press. The .22 frees that time and no worries about catching brass. Even better than the relatively cheap cost of ammo is that hauling 500 rounds to the range is not hernia inducing. The accuracy of my .22 pistols far surpasses my shooting ability.
