So, I've come to appreciate the old .22's more and more, but I didn't grow up with them so I don't really know them.

What are the best models to look for today? The ones that have stood the test of time?
And that the average guy can afford (Winchester 52's make my wallet squeak and try to hide deeper in my pocket).

Rifles you can scope without drilling holes in them are a big plus. Good triggers are another.

ps - just picked up a Savage 23AA and other than the scope mounting challenge I couldnt be happier.
