The .22 caliber rifle, specifically the .22 Long Rifle (LR), was developed in the late 19th century. It was created by the American firearms manufacturer J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company, with the cartridge being introduced in 1887. The .22 LR quickly became popular for its low recoil, affordability, and versatility, making it a favorite for target shooting and small game hunting.
