here is mine. Lithgow mod 12 which is 50odd years old but will still shoot under 1 inch at 50m with winchester sub sonics. It was the first rifle i bought and have had if for 5 years now. I bought it because it was the only 22lr in resonable condition i could find before my PTA expired but it seems to be a rifle that holds a special spot for many. I was surprised at the number of people that come up to me at the range or see photos and tell me that their learnt to shoot on the same make/mod of rifle, or where given one as a birthday present as their first own rifle back in the day.
Cheers
James

Wow, I really need to get my hands on a Lithgow Model 12, used one years ago and they are sweet rifles.

Im part of the Lithgow gang, this is my second, i brought a JW15 with 15 Boxs of ammo and a scope for $30. Had a dozen shots out of it and took it into the shop and swaped it for this little guy. Even came with a rear peep sight.
Gave her a hit of Dura coat, bit of oil on the wood. I will go and shoot some 5 shot groups with it but with a 4x scope and Winnie sub sonics it was putting 3 into .35 the other day at 50mtr

I opened the new posts in this topic & up comes Carl's .22 "OH MY GOD". I just hope I never see anything so beautiful in a gunshop or I would bankrupt myself to buy it. If it shoots as well Carl never let it go, it should be in your family for centuries.
