Check out my new 22LR 6V:
(BTW, anybody know if you can rotate pics once you get em uploaded?). I also got it with these extras for $370 on GB:
a couple light rust spots, but nice blueing overall and some extra goodies (brochures on the 22 and revolvers in general, a price list dated october 1, 1979, instruction manual wrench/feeler gauge, pleather pouch, and blank warranty card) i've enjoyed perusing a couple times already. AND, i can shoot this baby in my backyard (not so scary for the neighbors, i hope!) and for about 10% of the $$ of my .38 spl loads. I hope you like the name i gave this curvy beauty, too!
haha....

the backstory....
i joined this forum about a month ago, just after i stumbled upon a cheap
15-2 from a local dealer ($285, pictured on top with pachmayr presentation grip....new 22 pictured on bottom). 
after one trip to the range with my 
(see "glad to join the club!" under the "new members introduction") i was in love but the $$$ and drive to my father-in-law's country house or nearest range was prohibitive. i started looking at .22's for cost, and then my neighbor texted me the next weekend: "do you mind if i shoot my .22 pistol in the backyard this afternoon?" HELL YEAH! of course i don't mind.....that means if i get one, i can too? (only live on a 1.3 acre lot but it backs up to a field that is almost always vacant and easy to check if so!!!!)
i looked for a couple wks on GB and other sites, and this was the best deal i could find. i was looking for a 22- vh6, because i wanted a "twin" for my
15-2, although the best deal i could find was on a 22-v6, with my 
burning a hole in my pocket. Soooo, i won this baby on GB only to find in the literature included after i received it.....
15-2 6VH weighs 42 oz
22 6V weighs 44 oz (BUT 6VH weighs 47 oz).
so i actually got something closer to the same weight and, 
DAN sexy if you ask me! i plan to post something on modifications soon....your comments/suggestions are welcome until then though! peaceout,

Nice Dans, you have scored a couple deals there! That 22 was a great deal with the soft case and everything that you got with it.
And if I didn't say it before, welcome to the forum.

Okie1,
Those are two nice curvy DANs you have there. Wish I could shoot in my back yard.
Enjoy and welcome to the Forum

Awesome score on the 22. And its official you are infected, DWAS has stricken you, but the treatment is so much fun.

Nice looking 22. Great price too! 
to the forum.
I am curious though what you mean by "a little vertical barrel wiggle". I believe you were referring to your 15-2. Please explain. (If you covered this in another post, I apologize that I missed it.)

You got 2 very good deals. I shoot .22 lr (indoor) at a private club about 1/2 mile from home, so I shoot a lot of rimfire. My 722 is 4VH, and I pretty much only shoot .357 in 4VH. Recently we got a Ruger SR22, which is the functional twin of our "house gun", a Smith M 59 in 9mm.
There's a lot to be said for having a rimfire twin for your Big Boy guns
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Nice buy on the .22 - especially with the case, paper and tools that came with it!

Those were some great deals on both guns, way to go! Marilyn looks like a real beauty & being able to let her exercise in the back yard is sure a plus.
