.22lr rifles that don't use mags
Thinking of picking up a new rimfire rifle that doesn't use mags. Any other good options other than the Mod 60 or Henry? Nothing worse than getting to the range for a day of shooting and finding out you forgot all those mags on the kitchen counter.
The model 60 is hard to beat. I know you asked for other recommendations, but my recommendation is for the model 60.

Remington 572

Marlin 39A , find an older one.
My mom has a Browning. It loads through a tube in the buttstock and ejects the empties out the bottom of the receiver.
Marlin 981 is tube fed, bolt action.
Remington 514 is single shot.
My other .22lr rifles have either already been mentioned or take detachable magazines.
If you get a tube fed, think about getting a Spee-D-Loader. Makes reloading much faster.
The Marlin 39A is a great rifle, but it does use a magazine--just not a detachable one.
Henry 22 lever actions would fit the bill.
Shot Works Pro... It's better than scrap paper!!!

My favorite is the older model Weatherby XXII semi-auto. Came in either a tube or mag fed version. Unfortunately they are pricey but they look good.
One shooter at our range...has an accurate single shot BSA Martini Henry rifle; in 22 long rifle.
An old single shot Stevens rolling block...was my first 22 rifle, when I was a kid; but it did not handle 22 high velocity's very well.
Some black powder enthusiast...just gave me his father's Marlin 39 Centennial lever action; which is one sweet little shooter.
