hi, I have been thinking of getting back into shooting and figured I would start off with the only rifle I have ever shot. The last time this rifle was shot was approxatmly 20 years ago by me and my father. This rifle is my dads but he has lent it to me to use. The barrel has the following stamped on it: sears mod 5m 22 win. mag. sears roebuck and co. made in usa mod no 273.2350. also found on the under side is b748112 and it has a weaver marksman 3x -9x scope. I do hope to have some fun with it but would like to know what I need to know before shooting it.
Lovely rifle and you should shoot it but do yourself a big favor and get one in 22LR and shoot it till you become a real live genuine, 'you know you are going to hit what you are shooting at', marksman. The premium price on 22 mag ammo will soon pay for a new 22LR rifle just in extra costs. Get good first then play with the 22 mag.
OMG Please do not shoot that rifle. I'm sure it will be dangerous. Wrap it up in the pictured case and send it to me immediatly. Seriously. (NOT REALLY)
What is serious is that is a beautiful weapon and case. Follow Jacks instructions and ENJOY!!!!.
I am envious. Please post reports of your range trips and tell us how things are going.
Looking forward to your posts.

PS Just to make sure you understand, my first sentence is in jest!!!!! Listen to the others on this site and enjoy shooting your gun.
You can find a decent .22 for under $150 very easily. What state are you located in? There's often local forums and take a look at the LGS if you have one available.

Beautiful!! if you intend to shoot it much be aware the ejector will wear out before any other part. had a .22lr like that and wore out 2 ejectors! But was a sweet shooter!! Lots of tree rats put on table with it!!
I know i'm new here, but here goes my first post. depending on what kind of shooting you want to do will depend on the type or which rifle to get if you just want to have fun plinking a nice pump that will shoot .22 shorts. i use a rossi modle 62. ($185) When im out with my girls, we just use there crickets. ($95) each and great guns they are awsome for teaching and first rifles.darn acuret allso. When I want to go for distance and acurasy. i use my CZ 452 ($385) and damb tight groops. best shooting .22 i have ever found straight out of the box under $1,000. right up ther with Olimpic match rifles.
Well thats my $.25 worth just my exp. and opinion. hope it helps.
mosey on over to the general section and intro yourself !
