I got hooked as a kid in my 20's 40 years ago. I never cared for calibers bigger than .22 though, never saw the need for all the sturm und drang. I went through a lot of the .22's imaginable- the Lovells, Donaldson Wasps (both variations), K's, and a Niedner or two. My favorites are the various Lovell wildcats based on the .25-20 Single Shot case. My current favorite is a .22 Maximum Lovell built on a highly modified Krag action, by Hervey Lovell himself for me around 80 years ago.

(And yes those are Pacific double set triggers. Push the front trigger forward to set the rear trigger. Will not fire un-set.)
