22 Bolt Action Rifle (Wards Western Field)

[jigsaw183]

Gotta love the cringe when Hickok snaps the .22

[chazzlehoff]

Darn it if don't miss that old Montgomery Wards sporting goods department I used to walk through with my dad when he would have his old Oldsmobiles serviced. Ah the good old days

[TheFlippy12]

does he have a gold plated bolt on that thing??

[LIEUTENANTINS4NITY]

@TheFlippy12 no its nickel plated

[TheFlippy12]

its also the fist gun i fired.... ever

[supersaxophone1]

Hickok > FPSrussia

[theplaid1]

open sights or nothing for me too

[LTrakinat]

they sell guns at sears?

[bearcatfishbear]

@LTrakinat no

[SuperJalapeno123]

im looking to get into shooting, would you recommend a .22 as a start?

[MrHeavygamer]

@SuperJalapeno123 Yes i would recommend a .22 for your first gun, my 1st gun i shoot was a .22, 2nd gun i owned was a 20 guage, 3rd gun i owned was a 30-06, and 4th gun i owned was a 12 guage. i was 9 when i got my .22, plus there very cheep to shoot!!!

[tehatemachine]

and you can just hear how smooth that bolt is, Especially with that sound it makes.

[tehatemachine]

the guy in the video is AWESOME. Excellent narrator. It's like i've seen you before on a show. OUTSTANDING WORK! especially when telling the history of such a beautiful gun. I just a browning 22 today from my grandpa. It's made in japan and is in really good condition.

[copey1611]

love the vids :)

[magnellseth]

i wish i had a lawn like his!

[2066241]

sweet me and hickok have something else in common im not a scope fan either

[TEDDYZMAIN]

i mean come on you just said if you like the .22 i have several of them, dont say it like youll give me had my hopes up

[tehreviewer01]

I'm ten tears old. My dads buying me a 22. cal bolt action rifle.

[mexicanelitesniper]

@tehreviewer01 lucky, i fired my first gun last week, it was a mosin nagant

[TheSlayerman7]

HAHA when ever i search guns. good old hickok comes up

[Rorona550]

thats so cool i plan to pass my 10/22 down to my son. And im gonna put a rack in his room as well

[cronos222]

I use cheap Sams cola for .22 and high power airgun targets too. They explode real nice when you hit'em which make them fun to shoot . :)

[theaustralianshooter]

needs to do a chapter 2!!!

[kingofrock145]

i might sound stupid but what kind of a reloading system is that? like wats it called?

[theaustralianshooter]

@kingofrock145 Don't know what you mean but the action is bolt action and the ammunition goes into the tubular magazine.

[kingofrock145]

@theaustralianshooter ok i knew it was a bolt but i wasnt sure of the name. thanks

[s4n714g000]

Also, that box is written in Spanish :D

[s4n714g000]

anyone looking for "TheBigMallo" comment i stopped searching at page 45.

Maybe i missed it i dont know...

[superjosh2001]

Yesterday for Christmas, My aunt had given me a firearm that was my uncles who had passed away in 2001. It is a Winchester model 270 pump rifle with a Weaver 4x scope on it. It was one of his first guns he had ever owned and it was made in 1963. I would sale my own wedding ring over that gun, it will never have a price tag on it.

[Fireworks7760]

Imma shoot the cowboy here. *click* No Im not..

[SWIFTYfatkid]

hey, iv got a Wards Western Field rifle, No. 46 22 S-L-LR, iv got really no idea what the history behind it is, can you tell me anything about it?

[mexicanelitesniper]

.22 are awesome to shoot cause of money purposes, and great target practice/starter

The only best protection with the .22 is if you use them with hollow points

[TheDuvalMilitia]

My grandfather left me a Wards Western field 22. it is a bolt action, model 04m-390B. Very nice rifle, and very well built.

[mexicanelitesniper]

since this is a .22 bolt action wanna know what I wish i had or there was?

I wish there was a .22LR mini-mosin nagant

[Bdawg981]

you got a real gun when u were 12-13?! the closest i can get is to join aus cadets and shoot a aug under strict supervision

[KOartisan]

Great Vid!

[NuclearTrenchDeath]

what a beautiful rifle!

[TheMaxCannon]

You are very entertaining the first gun I shot was 22 to you are awesome

[zfkeesee]

@hickok45 First let me say thanks for the videos, they have provided hours of entertainment. My father has a single shot .22 with a similar safety as that on your bolt action. At some point, the screw holding the safety on became loose allowing play in the safety. The trigger was then able to get pass the stop that the safety was intended to provide. Easy fix, but just a safety concern I thought I would pass along. Once again thanks and Life is Good.

[USREALxGaming]

my first rifle was a 336c marlin .35 rem nice rifle

[WheresMyXR8]

The first gun I shot was a .22 also. I was about 8 or 9yrs old. My dad and uncles up north (northern Michigan) tried to get me to shoot a 30-30 but that sucker was intimidating to me. when I seen the kick on their shoulders and obviously heard the sound, I knew better. So my cousin brought me out some kind of old single-shot .22 rifle. That was my first shooting experience, then I moved on to a .22 semi-auto rifle with a crappy scope.. I wore that thing out... wish I would have kept it though.

[BlackBearTexas]

nice shooting! Thanks for the post, I really enjoy these videos

[SnkyCyanTurtle]

Great vid good old fashion fun. Its a beaut.

[danthegunman1]

wats the best .22 bolt action you can get

[BlakMayo44]

@danthegunman1 CZs are really nice.

[riverrutt]

@danthegunman1 the marlin xt-22 is awesome

[paintballboi85]

wen u hit the targets it to me kinda sounds musical lol

[bezerk47]

would any body recommend a .22 rifle for a starter gun or if not what should I get?

Im wondering because im turning 13 and I want to sign up for a gun safety course and I want to improve my aiming before I go hunting with my dad or grandad.

[007Vladdd]

ничё не понял)))

[AmericaStandsStrong1]

My first rifle was a Marlin 795

[GutpileCharlie]

Excellent video.

My first rifle was a Mossberg 146B, ,22 tubular magazine also purchased from Montgomery Ward. I acquired it in about 1956.

It had almost identical features, same trigger guard, sling, etc. I sold it in a fit of stupidity in about 1968 and I have regretted it ever since.

I got a Mosberg US44 from the CMP that is very similar, except for a box magazine. Those plastic trigger guards will break over time. I found one machineed from aluminimum and then anodized.

Great rifle.

[tdbulkley98]

what 22 rounds are those...next time u do a 22 video can you tell what kind they are

[isaacdylansainz]

tip for people who dont have much money but still want targets, water baloons! thats what i use sence im to young to work.

(legally)

[tfre3927]

Awesome story. It's amazing how firearms can hold such sentimental value for a bit of wood and a steel tube. I remember firing my first pistol - at 25 yrs old - .500 S&W magnum. I was hooked !

[fistfullofitch]

a .22 lr should be part of any and every collection. i am not going to say this one is better than that one, but there are a dozen (or more) wonderful reliable .22 on the market. i am a fan boy, the .22 is a great intro to firearms and a great caliber to teach people to shoot with.

[MrDeerWizard]

I have one of those, it's marked mossberg. The stock is trimmed to a thinner profile and is both beautiful and a tack driver.

[davidhallberg]

Beautiful rifle with a nice story,thanks for sharing.

[TheZzProject]

This video made me buy my first rifle :) Hello from Ireland!

[TheManWolf41]

Love this video, My grandfather took me out when I was a boy frequently to shoot his .22 rifle. He left it to me and will always be near and dear to my heart. And is one of those 'key' experiences that makes me love shooting today.

[LMRuger1]

I( love hearing about the first guns, I still have mine, a single shot .410. Great gun and one that I will keep forever.

[mongosafariadventure]

I've had an old Marlin 80DL 22 S-L-LR since the early 70's and it was used then. I now have a few fancy rifles and tricked out 10/22's but still like going "Old School" with the 80DL sporting a Williams aperture sight. Old rifle like that have class along with lots of memories. I enjoy your videos.

[bigboy751000]

i love ur vids u made me bye about 5 guns thank u so much

[charliepossenriede]

hes better then fpsrussia

[WhiteShadow1415]

I'm going target practicing this weekend with my .22(only 15 years old) that I got for Christmas 2 years ago. It has no scope and it can only have 1 bullet in it at a time. I would love to have the .22 you have.

[stonerdude4000]

@WhiteShadow1415 Im 13 im saving money for a .22 I have a Marlin 30/30 that I LOVE. Bullets are expensive though thats why i want a .22

[cactuskid1950]

Great video..I'm 61 years of young and I love to shoot .22 Rifles !! NO SCOPE,,I prefer open sights..as you do..

[kingkoax]

@thebigmallo he is better than Fps russia, and older to, and he has been doing it longer than him lolz! look at the YT day of joining.

[aliensunderground]

there is nothing better than when your father hands a gun down to his son.that

is a part of american history

[sheikhan13]

What do you call the rifle when the ammunition needs to be fed from the front??

Can me take it to a gunsmith and have the ammunition fed up from the underneath??

[ArmyGuy543]

@sheikhan13

A muzzle loader, you mean?

As far as I myself am aware, converting a muzzle loader to anything else is, if even possible, incredibly expensive.

[sheikhan13]

@ArmyGuy543

Sorry. I meant to say from the front of the tubular magazine, like this .22 rifle in this video.

[rjreid1958]

enjoyed it entertaining butt use a rest 4 camera lol

[rjreid1958]

enjoyed entertaining but at least rest the camera on someting lol

[DiscoDude82]

"Let's see, safety off, gun is on fire."

"WHAT! YOU GUN IS ON FIRE?!?!"

"Uhh, yeah. I took it off safe."

"Ohh..."

[jpaho]

Beautifully gun I bought Ted Williams’s brand guns from Sears in the 70s made by Winchester. Western Field was sold by Montgomery Wards in my area back then. I really enjoy your videos.

[martinezkiller1]

im 11 and i just shot 22. 9mm 45. :)

[ethanissocool]

THE 50s!?! Wasnt it hard to kill dinosaurs with a 22?

[jims72]

I have a western field m72 30 30 lever action.I love it! Got a vid on it coming very soon.Keep up the good work friend.Keep your eye on the target and your powder dry!

[tartredarrow]

Is there any reliability concern with a tubular bolt? I'm considering a Marlin XT-22 (improved 925) but I'm not sure if I should get the tubular version or the one with the box mag.

[weho1233]

he shoots at 7:54:)

[ihop54]

Ihop here again, I had a 144 Mossberg a few years back, I got from my dad, a WW11 marine marksmen. One day I was shooting with my neighbor and his son, he was maybe 10. He was hitting gallon jugs now and then, so I handed him my rifle and started to give him pointers on holding it,trigger squeeze,keeping both eyes open,safety etc, I got him down to hitting empty .22 shells, he was so proud and excited. I asked his dad, off to the side, if I could give it to him and I did. I bought another.

[ihop54]

I've got a Mossberg 144 that looks alot like yours, it has a clip though, and bull barrel. It has an old Mossberg M4D scope too. Very solid,as accurate as the shooter, nice trigger pull. You can buy them that say property of the U.S. Government on them. They used them for target rifles. Usually they have a miltary peep site on them.

[TheBigMallo]

@ciran22

course, cause you can tell that from looking at a short comment i made on a youtube video.

[MeLlamoBradly]

my grandfather was telling me about how when he was in school they would have assemblies where they would go outside and guys would shoot throw targets in the air and shoot them with pistols... and he said they would bring their bb guns and play with em on the playground.... He said there wasn't any school shootings back then, how ironic

[MrMyoutdoors]

That whose my fist rifle too.

[brenntater12]

How many can it hold at a time?

[machonacho98]

Btw i would least expect a man as old as you (no offense) to call himself by his YouTube username.

[hickok45]

@machonacho98, Please interpret for me? :-)

[happyman489]

@hickok45 i believe he means he expected you to refer to yourself by your real name, not screen name like a lot of "younger" folks in modern culture do in online communities. Of course totally your preference.....great show btw, truly one of a kind :)

[hickok45]

@happyman489, I think he means just the opposite maybe? Actually, due to the nature of what I do and where I do it, I'm mostly Hickok45. I rarely even use my first name in a video; in fact, I'm not sure I have unless it did it in this video.

[dmitry246]

@happyman489 

[machonacho98]

@hickok45 I would least expect someone like you to call himself hickok45. no offense, just sayin.

[ElDub50]

@machonacho98 So, your real name is Macho Nacho? Interesting ...

[Recon9143]

@machonacho98 I happen to like that friendly introduction.

[pcgamerjoe]

@machonacho98 Of all things to point out or complain about...seriously. I hate kids.

[machonacho98]

keep up the good work.

[ACountryBoy4X4]

Gahhhh, i wish my .22 ejected like that :P my ejector doesnt work at all part of the time :P and Hickok what advatages does nickeling a bolt do? and whats an estimate of a price?

[TheMooseofBattle]

The ejector ejects the empty cartridges with so much force, I bet you could use it as an alternative way of firing! He he.

[jake20103]

I like to hear these kind of stories

[koolsmegel10]

Fer some reason 14 year olds can buy 22s

[curseofa5r5a]

man, your shooting skills are just impresive, i wish i could shot like that, i have to improve my stance or soemthing like that, any way man, i wish you luck, you are a good man and a good shoter, thats all i want to be.

[bubbabeau07]

I got one of these from my father, hard to find videos on them

[Money92591]

great vid check out my 70 yr old winchester 22lr or shorts

[nobeefstew4u]

Life is good??????

[WinMOD42]

bolt actions are more accurate than self loaders, so does that mean that revolvers are more accurate than semi auto pistols?

[cja245]

i have one of those.. And what a coincidence, it was the first gun i shot as well. Mine is a 48A. I'm not really sure how old it its, but it was my great grandfathers gun. Mine has the original iron sights. The rear sight is soldered in place, but luckily its dead on. Its a great gun. I'm glad it made its way down the line to me.

[Themrvideogamaholic]

Why do you put in earplugs for a 22? XD

[KrazyKunuck101]

Could someone recommend a good bolt action .22 rifle that is reletively cheap? Just something for shooting pests and practice shooting.

[outdoorsman310]

@KrazyKunuck101 savage mark2

[BlakMayo44]

@KrazyKunuck101 Mossberg 802.

[TheBigMallo]

he's not exactly fps russia.

[hickok45]

@TheBigMallo, Astute observation! I'm Hickok45 and HAVE been for several years. :-)

[alexandergoking]

@hickok45 I agree that you are not fps russia. Fps russia has no shooting fundamentals while you clearly do sir.

[ajcvikingboy]

@hickok45 Your better than him by far!!!, well in my humble opinion, I think you give better infomation and make it more interesting :)

[jgilgorri]

@hickok45 While I do enjoy FPSRussia, I realize he appeals to the dumb shooter in me, the part of my brain that wants a fully auto shotgun loaded with high explosive rounds.

you, on the other hand, appeal to the gentleman shooter in me, the part of my brain that wants to learn and share his experiences with his gun.

Great video, btw. Love that you've kept your first gun all these years

[ciran22]

@TheBigMallo your not exactly anything,besides from a igronant low life.

[insecur]

@TheBigMallo He has been around much longer than FPSrussia.

[MrCamerican]

@insecur and doesnt rely on call of duty players as his primary audience. not that i dont like fps russia. hes hilarious

[insecur]

@MrCamerican Same here!

[cmm201111]

i like the safety, kind of neat compared to most guns.

[aface4radiofreemusic]

Mr. Hickok45, I have a .22 Wards Western Field Model SB 80C. It's a pump, tube fed. Savage made mine. I love it. And thank you for showing off your Western Field. :-)

[XxLAXBREASTxX]

is that a cigar box the .22's are being stored in?

[thejellyboy99]

shoot the camra man

[holyass242]

@thejellyboy99 the camera man is his son

[ArmyGuy543]

@thejellyboy99

As much as I'd love to swear at you for being such an idiot, I can't, because I like hickok's videos too much to get myself blocked.

[AkimboNinjaPWN]

I have that gun. It's BEAUTIFUL and shoots great...just two problems with it...I lost the front iron sight somehow and the clips. so I can only load one shot and shoot it only for close range. I use it when I shoot Racoons in the head when I trap em

[Signa427]

what a fun little gun!



[MrBEATZ1000]

@seefeld12345 want a fucking medal

[turtle4797]

my first gun was a rossi matched pair 22LR and 410 it belongs to my baby brother until it gets to small

[MrFlashbang12]

@seefeld12345 he means holding the rifle steady

[mrcancerbero666]

a beautiful rifle

[Mrcabllegoo13]

tf2 sniper, you have competition

[99364375287629482837]

its hell to shoot a 22 standing! 

[hillbilly786]

I got a westernfield 20 guage n i love it. fires anything ya feed through it.

[lambchops1493]

My pellet gun has more recoil lol.

[ccreyeder]

man, that thing really ejects the empties! lol Another great vid, thanks!

[zookeeper2345]

"ima get one and 360 no scope ur ass!"

true story...

[CaptainMaloy1001]

I grew up with this bolt-action wooden shotgun thing. Pretty odd. And it only has a 3-4 round mag. Any idea on how much it's worth?

[gaby2759]

my grandfather haves that rifle

[lucserre]

Those 'sliding plates' are kind of neat.

Thanks.

[PANTHERSCM1671]

How dare you destroy the value of such a fine firearm by having if re-blued. Just kidding it looks good.

[Bchris420]

lol thats the first gun i fired too ..thats crazy well i was suppose to shoot a shotgun first but i was nervous cause i was young so i tried the 22 first and liked it then tryd the shotgun ...ever since then i loved to go shooting

[mark55912]

@Hickok45 what type of 22 ammo are you using?

[nachito1918]

nice history..

[DrakrSlyr]

say hickok, by any chance would you know how rare and how much this rifle is worth? I like the unique loading and i'm thinking of getting one

[masterjedi89]

the first gun I ever fired was a bolt action 22 at cub scout camp. I have moved up to sks, remington 870 12 gauge but the 22 is still fun as hell to shoot

[dahoihoi]

i have basically the same trigger guard on my mossberg model 185b-d 20 gauge bolt action shotgun. and basically the same safety. kinda seems like cheep plastic but i like the look of it, kind of retro you know? :)

[airborne101st45]

i love Romeo y Julieta cigars

[loboy789]

i love the gun

[alman309]

love the videos



[Brommykins]

Good lord the ejector launches those shells!

[TheMooseofBattle]

@Brommykins My friend worked at a range once that only used .22 lr weapons (this was in Sweden where gun laws are A LOT stricter than in the U.S.) and he said that when he was using the firearms at the range, he couldn't focus on firing/aiming because there was one guy with a .22 ak-47 to the left of him and a .22 AR-15 to the right of him. He was constantly hit by the hot cases in the face!

[Chariotz5]

@Brommykins After you shoot the gun at a target, you can lob the brass casing at it too!

[Captb55806]

The only thing I do not like scoops on is lever action rifles. However, I like thoses skinner peep sights that have very good opptics on it. Those are great to have.

[TheRussinsRcomeing]

who the the camera guy ?

[Kennefo]

@TheRussinsRcomeing Hickok45's son, John

[canidoodoo]

original OG dont like using scopes

[sheikhan13]

That's a work of art there. Beautiful gun.

Is there a gun similar to this gun. same way how you load the tubular magazine?

Like you said, it is mossberg which makes it now, which model is it?

Thanks in advance.

[Superchickenman159]

'merica

[zackwess1]

thats a beutiful 220

[Palillos1337]
