daisy 22

I stopped in on a garage sale this morning and saw a Daisy 22 in a case for sale.
This is the first time that I have seen one of these. It was just like new. They wanted 250.00 for it. Not what I look for but nice.
I know nothing about them. It had a lever on the forestock that opened the action. Crazy looking.
I can't believe that I did all that looking and didn't look at the model #. I really suck sometimes

So I found out that it is a VL Presentation grade. As nice as it looks, 250 was over the top.

That rifle is one of 5000 made from 1967-69 if it's the Presentation grade. A $250 price tag isn't bad if you're looking to turn it over for resale or to collect. Saw some sell for $400-550 on the auction sites, but I wouldn't bother if I just wanted rifle to shoot. The caseless ammunition is interesting though.

The BATF ruled it a firearm so Daisey had to stop production because they didn't have the license to produce firearms.

I once owned a Daisy bolt action .22LR. Had a rotary magazine similiar to if not exactly like the Ruger 10/22 magazine. Mine had a plastic stock on
it and it shot okay. Had a spoon handle bolt on it. Weighed about 3# and I could never get used to the feel of the thing. Paid something like $59.00 brand new back around 1985 or 1986. Sold it to a guy at work for what I paid for it. Sometimes wish I had kept it but then I think at the
time, I was just glad to sell it. Don't know the model number on it either.

358 Win ,
A friend of mine has one of the bolt guns. Kind of cheesy and cheap looking. But, if it were mine, I'd keep it just because it's funky and a Daisy.

358Win, I bought a pair of them about the same time you did. I used one of them as a training rifle for the kids, and the other is still NIB yet today.

Thanks guys for the trip down memory lane. If I recall correctly, didn't they come with either a plastic stock and a wood variation also. I do remember making my longest .22LR groundhog kill to date with my Daisy Legacy .22LR.
Leaned against my workshop and held a little high on a big groundhog at 100yds out back and hit that old girl right smack dab in the ear! Went down like a wet sack of cottage cheese she did!! Guess I shouldv'e kept it but I'm sure you guys know what I mean when I say "It just didn't feel right". Had a .308 Win Remington Mohawk that shot like
gangbusters and killed deer like lightning, but the darn thing just felt like a club in my smallish hands and traded it
for my 760 rechambered to .358 Win. That's what got me started on my love affair with anything .35 caliber. Thanks
Mr. Mohawk, I'm a happy camper now!!!! Also, I have never, never, ever, bought a gun to be a safe queen. My only safe queen is my Model 94 in .32 Win Special that I used to kill my first ever deer at age 12. My Uncle sold it to me
after I got back from overseas in 1973. Would never sell that gun ever. Last deer I killed with it was a big doe in 1980. One shot down boom!!!
