My first 22 is really my older brother’s first 22 and he still has it. When I was in college he let me take it with me when I moved off campus and was out in the country a bit. It was a Winchester 67 clone but I can’t remember who’s name was on it at the moment. I got really really good with that thing thanks in no part to being young and have above average eye site. My first personally bought 22 rifle was a Marlin tube fed bolt action “Centenial” I bought used from the original owner. That Marlin had some nice walnut and shot ok, not great but more than the task at hand demanded which was hunting. My favorite 22 right now is my Ruger M77/22 SS in walnut or Marlin 39A. The choice varies by day.
