Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mossberg Model 46B is far more than a typical vintage .22—it’s a standout from the golden age of American rimfire rifles. Produced by O.F. Mossberg & Sons from 1938 to around 1946, this bolt-action repeater was followed by improved versions like the 46B(a) manufactured from 1946 to 1947, and then the 46B(b) model, which was in production from 1947 to 1949. Featuring a takedown design, a 26-inch barrel, and a tubular magazine compatible with .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle cartridges, the 46B was built for versatility and performance. Weighing in at approximately 7 pounds, it came equipped with a pistol-grip walnut stock, cheekpiece, sling swivels, and a chrome-plated bolt—some models also featuring a plated trigger and bolt handle.

What truly sets the 46B apart, though, is its reputation for precision. Known as a “tack-driver,” it’s highly praised by shooters for its smooth bolt action, rock-solid stability, and tight grouping—often outperforming rifles twice its price. Decades later, it still earns respect from collectors and marksmen alike as a reliable, accurate, and well-crafted piece of American firearms history. Whether you're chasing nostalgia or drilling bullseyes, the Model 46B delivers classic Mossberg quality with every shot.
