“22 long”

This week on #SundayGunday we test-fire the Revel Classic, a new-for-2025 lever-action rimfire rifle available from Savage Arms. It’s offered in .22 Long Rifle now, and models in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire and .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire will be available this summer.

Remington Ammunition is expanding multiple product lines to offer new calibers for 2025. These line extensions include popular product families such as Core-Lokt, Core-Lokt Tipped and Core-Lokt Handgun. Big Green is also introducing Performance WheelGun, a newly optimized .22 Long Rifle ammunition designed for the revolver.

Vermont’s own Johannes von Trapp, the youngest member of the famous Trapp Family Singers, is an American hunter.

Rossi USA has extended its line of popular RB22 rimfires, with the RB22 Compact. This carbine-length plinker is light, reliable and easy to shoot, making it especially perfect for junior shooters targeting cans and varmints around the farm.

Winchester has put a slightly different spin on the classic .22 LR, with its new 21 Sharp.

The traditional projectile has been under attack of late.
