That's some shiny wood!
I have a 46B that I love, but it's heavy. I just picked up a vintage Weaver V7-1 2.5-7 x 32 scope for this one on ebay. This rifle just had one of the nicest stocks I've ever seen on a Mossberg. Bore looks pristine too."More gun for the money!"
I always liked the 46 series, bolt actions with that looooong tube magazine. I have a 146.
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Mossbergs. In Boy Scouts, it's what we had at the range for our rifle and shotgun merit badge training. We had both "standard" bolt actions (don't recall the model number) as well as some heavy barrel Model 44 U.S. rifles, which were my favorite. I wound up buying one (for $50!) eventually as my very first .22 and that thing was really accurate, but unfortunately was stolen back in the early 80's. I was actually looking for another one when I came across my 46B. I'd still like to have another 44 U.S., but the prices on those have really gone up.My 46b holds 26 22 shorts. Some of the old Mossbergs had outstanding walnut and shoot pretty straight as well. Yours looks like a nice one.

Here it is with the Weaver V7-1 2.5-7 x 32 scope. I really like the scope. Oldie but goody!
You know it really fits the look of the rifle.. How did you mount the scope??
+1 on the gun! Love old .22’s. Thanks for sharing
In a modern world of black plastic guns. The old classics like your Mossberg with the wood and blued steel are refreshing. Nothing like the old classics.
I can't wait to get out and try out my Mossberg M44 US this spring. I haven't got to run any any rounds through her yet. I love these old 22s.
Nope. Mine was one of 30,000 or so produced when the contract was cancelled. So, no property or arsenal markings.
I love those! That was my very first .22. I WILL have another one one of these days... Although they're considerably more expensive than the $50 I paid for mine back in the 1970's. Does yours say U.S. Property on it anywhere? Mine had that marking, so it was a military trainer at some point.
