I have a slot for a .22 Rimfire on my freshly printed FAC and am spoilt for choice, I was going to go for another Nylon 66 however whilst looking for one I found several sub GBP75.00 rifles for sale so any recommendation? It will mostly be for 25m plinking and if it performs well maybe some occasional Rabbit bashing. Anything goes as long as it can be slung over my shoulder and is wood stocked.

Thoughts anyone?

Old falling block .22 target rifle. Cut it down to 12" and stick a mod on it.

I did this. Regret selling it.

I bought a batch of old BSA martinis a few years ago and cut them down, lightened them, fitted a short Weaver rail and added a moderator to make a very nice rabbit rifle out of somethings that were sold for parts or would have been scrapped.

I have one left that don't want to part with as I find it rather fun to shoot. No magazine and very few moving parts, whisper quiet out of a very simple modification.
It is also supremely accurate, adjustable trigger and the all important wooden stock and fore-end (it does look like a sawn-off shotgun with it's short barrel and moderator fitted

)

Not a bad little rifle for about £25 of parts (including the rifle itself) and a bit of machine time.
