Springfield Armory introduced a complete line of bolt-action .22s in 2023, and the Rimfire Classic is one of the most traditionally styled versions available, but it comes with a number of great design features.
Two of Smith & Wesson's recent introductions include the Folding Pistol-caliber Carbine (FPC) and its .22 WMR-chambered M&P handguns. Now, both platforms are available for the popular .22 Long Rifle chambering.
Through the years, this rifle has suffered the ravages of age and use; the stock had softened below the action, probably from over-oiling, and cracked. When the front action screw snapped in two during a routine zeroing session, it became clear that this old sporter needed a refresh.
