I picked up this rifle last weekend because it caught my eye. It is a .22LR with a 10 shot mag. It came standard with a Lyman 55H receiver mounted peep-sight. I gave the fellow $110. for it. I had a hard time finding any values on this particular rifle. It is in like-new shape. The 10 rd. magazine was manufactured by H&R, and has "Reising 22Long Rifle Only" stamped on it. Does anyone know the value of these rifles? Here's some pics.

Hi,buttplate.
According to the Gun Traders Guide of 2005;
Model 265 "REG'LAR"
Bolt-Action Repeating Rifle
Nib $113 Ex $92 Gd $66
Caliber:.22LR.10-round detachable box magazine.22-inch bbl.
Weight:6.5 lbs.Sights:Lyman No.55 rear peep;blade front,on
ramp.Plain pistol-grip stock.Made 1946-49.
Looks like a nice one for sure.
Since this book is the only one have handy and is a few years old,I'd think the values may be a tad bit higher today.
Hope this helps.

the model 265 'targeteer' was only manufactured for a few years (1946-1950). most of the current pricing guides are very out of date on early H&R target rifles. the on-line blue book is the most current and when the new 30 edition comes out it will reflect higher prices 100%=$285 down to 60%=$150. the magazine use by the model 265 is the same as used on all the eugene reising designed H&R semi-automatic 22 rimfire rifles and should offer very postive feed in a bolt action rifle. i believe you will be very pleased with the accuracy of this rifle. at $110 i believe you got a very good deal unless the bore is shotout.

Thanks for the info! I forgot to mention that the bore looks like it never had a round shot through it. The lands and grooves are distinct and sharp, and the bore is bright and shiny.

| It may not have been, or possibly was just test fired, alot of people collect firearms and never shoot them; I personally like to shoot them not just look at them. I have a rifle similar to it and they are tack drivers, I am going to put a tubular telescopic sight on mine, really looks vintage too. |

I picked up a poor condition 365 "Reg-Lar" at last falls Tulsa Arms Show for $30. Same gun in single shot version. Broken bridge on rear Lyman 55H peep sight, cracked stock, missing various parts. It was one of my winter projects. Turned very well. Repaired/refinished stock. Was amazed at lucky I was at finding parts. Even got a complete NEW Lyman 55 H rear sight for less than some Lyman "expert" quoted me for the parts (bridge) needed to repair old one.
Best part is that the rifle turned out to be a TACK DRIVER! I usually sell/trade my project guns. Not this one. It's a keeper! |
