The Rimfire Report: Daisy 2202 .22 LR Rifle – BB to Rimfire

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! In this ongoing series all about rimfire firearms, ammo and history, we’ve been covering a lot of different types of 22LR ammo. I thought we’d take a break from that this week to check out a recent Gunbroker auction of an extremely rare rimfire firearm that was sent over to me by fellow writer Sam S. This week, we’re talking about a gun that’s a bit of a curveball: the Daisy 2202 .22 LR rifle, a bolt-action with a 19-inch octagonal barrel from a company most well known for producing BB guns. The Daisy Manufacturing Company traded pellets for rimfire rounds in the case of the model 2202 and model 2012 22LR bolt-action rifles, so let’s unpack this BB-to-rimfire detour and see what the 2202’s all about and where you might be able to find one of these rare rifles today.
