I am out of the 22 WMR or Magnum business. I am getting rid of the last rifle and pistol I have in 22 Magnum. I am also getting Ricci to sell off the ammo.

Its not that I don't like 22 Mag but I really have no use for one anymore. I have several 22LR and I have a bunch of 22LR ammo. I have a 22 Hornet that I like so I really have no need for a 22 WMR.
Ricci will be selling my last rifle a Savage M93 with a nice 3x9 Sightron scope on it. This is an older one that had a regular trigger. I replaced the trigger with one from Timiney and it nice. When I was a hunter and was stationed at Ft Polk this was my hog gun during squirrel season. You could only hunt hogs with a gun that was to be used in that season so you carried a rimfire or a shotgun with #6 or smaller. I chose a 22 Mag for that and I probably killed 20 hogs with it all were headshots and all were DRT or at least incapacitated enough I could walk up and give then another. I have a lot of respect for the 22 WMR.
I have also used this rifle to dispatch a bunch of deer around my house. Most were hit by cars and need to be put down. A big mean dog also got turned into a christian when he meet up with Mr. 22WMR.

Sounds like a fine hunting rifle.....I hunt yotes with a Savage 93 in .22 Mag. What pistol are you listing ?
Good luck with the auctions....the ammo should do well also...give us a heads up when the listing are up...
What does the link have to do with 22 mag?
I really like a .22mag rifle. Like you, since I got the 22 Hornet I don't know that I have a need for a .22 mag.
Here's the correct link.

I love my .22 mag, but I'm out of ammo so I'll definitely be following the ammo listing.
22WMR ammo has improved monumentally over the past decade or so. Forty five years ago, 22WMR ammo was scarce, only marginally accurate, and not real effective(even the HP versions) on coyotes. I crippled a lot of yotes with 22 mag that the dogs caught later so they weren't lost but it was a lot of wasted time that might have been used to start another chase.
Nice lot.
Unfortunately, I’m on the no ship list
I had a Colt Frontier with a 22 mag cylinder and a NAA.
Sorry about the link I was so astounded at the price of 50 rounds of brass that it stuck on my computer.

Oh man Ricci I hate to see it go. That gun has killed more things than Covid-19 and there aint no vaccine for a 22 mag in the head. But like always you did a great job with the camera.
I like the description cut and pasted from the auction
This .22 Magnum rifle belonged to a man who spent his youth jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, often at night, hunting bad guys and shooting them. Now he is old and decrepit, and he walks kind of funny. But he kept his guns in good shape and that is what we are concerned with here. This Savage model 93 with 21" barrel was set up to hunt so an optic was needed. A bright clear Sightron 3x9x40 scope was screwed on top. Down below one of Timney Triggers excellent triggers was installed and adjusted perfectly. So that's probably four hundred dollars of extras but you get what you pay for. I am assured the little rifle shoots very well and has accounted for a lot of game to include over twenty hogs. So if you are in the market for an accurate, lightweight rifle chambered for the .22 Magnum, take a look.
Bumped the rifle
The description is worth it!
Will you keep us posted on the pistol please ? Have a Savage 22wmr with a leupold and Can vouch for their deadliness but would probably bid on the pistol .
