    it is a Talo Ruger 10/22 in stainless walnut
    picked it up for $300 at LGS and the woodchucks who attempt to make new homes in my rock walls absolutely hate it

    it’s like Caddyshack around here late spring but I always win with the lil Ruger

    I'm thinking a Winchester, but that is only a far flung guess. No idea on the model.

    Savage Anshutz. Anshutz were German made but I believe some of them were US made if they had the Savage name.?????

    Savage imported Anshutz models and Anshutz sold some of Savage units on there side of pond - up through the 70's. I have a Savage /Anshutz 164 sporter, no difference between it and the Anshutz version other than the barrel markings.
    I have not come across an action with that style firing pin/ safety arrangement as of yet. I ain't looking real hard either.

    More clues,

    Original company was founded with name that included the state where it was located, it lasted about a decade and has changed hands a couple of times since.

    While not the original company that built my rifle, the name still lives on today as they are known primarily for accurate highly customizable pistols.
    Specifically 1911 style pistols.


    originally XXXXXX of XXXXXXX

    Now its just XXXXXX

    Kimber fits the six letters and they were/are made in New York for awhile and they did or do have some nice 1911 units. They make some nice center fire rigs . Seem to remember a rimfire silhouette model. Kimber of America, Kimber of Oregon ( first name) been a bunch of ups and downs since the 80's - haven't been paying that much attention.

    Chris finally got it.
    Its a Kimber of Oregon, model 82

    I bought this new in the early '80's.
    I plan on keeping it and handing it down.
    Speaking of handing down my Dad once asked if there was anything of his that I wanted after he passes.
    At the time he had a couple of old cars and I think he thought I'd want one of them.
    I told him all I want is a Winchester model 63 .22 rifle that he bought new in the '50's.
    It surprised him that all I wanted was a .22 rifle.
    Here is a picture of one.

    [​IMG]
    Its a semi-auto, loads in the slot in the stock. There is a knob in the butt plate that is a 1/4 turn and then you can pull the spring loaded tube out that pushes the round forward. You drop the cartridges into the stock, reinstall the tube in the butt plate and your ready to go.
    To load a cartridge into the chamber you push the button on the front of the forearm.
    My Dad's is in like new condition.
