kutenay,
The line-up would sure do!
There's an interesting story about Howard French, the editor of GUNS & AMMO during what many people consider the magazine's best years. When he interviewed people for assistant editing jobs, the first question he asked was what kind of .22 rimfire they owned. If they didn't own one or, worse, kind of sneered at the idea, they were immediately rejected, as French considered a good .22 one of the essentials of a really well-rounded rifle shooter!
Along with some other rimfires, we have three fine .22 rifles in the house, including a Winchester 62A, an Anschutz and one of the New York Kimbers. (If anything, the newer Kimber .22's were even more accurate than the Oregon rifles.) All three have accounted for a lot of varmints and small game over the years, as well as much "affordable" target practice.
