CZs are hard to beat for quality and accuracy for factory guns. 10/22 hard to be for quality , economics, and ability to modify. Henry lever guns are great for plinking, well made, and reasonably priced.

I hope that day never comes that i have to make that decision, i got a truck load of 22's and im not talking pickup truck either. i been collecting 22's since the 70's and my dad way before that, so he acquired quite a few of the older type 22 of the day, I still buy older 22's when I see them and I probably trippled what he got. my favorite tree rat killer is Sako finnfire, with a mcmillan stock, lilja barrel, Jewell trigger set at 2oz, topped off with a Leopold 4x12ao with custom premier reticle hold over hairs, this gun at 50 yards you can watch bullets go through bullets holes all day long.

If only one, would be my Remmy 121 pump. Shoots great for what I would do with a 22 in that type of situation. If only one bolt, would be an Annie 54, as mentioned above.
Regards,
Tom

This is a culture thing. We all have certain ones that are indispensable to US. I have more than the average person, although not a truck load as mentioned earlier. You rock BTW. I love the Remmy 5 teens and have a few, my fave being a 513T. I adore my CZ 455 fullstock. The varmint, not so much although I found what it likes to shoot. I have an old Sears made by High Standard that shoots way out of proportion to what it should for a semi. I am in the process of trying to trade my youngest son out of a nice Rem 121. Just because I'm an old man and like old guns. Just one? I'm too weak. Can't do it.

Went through the 455/452 phase and they are gone now. Have rem 510 single that will be for the little guy when he gets big enough. I’m really thinking I need a tube fed remington bolt gun or a 12/121. They sure do look nice

I have a fairly comprehensive assortment of .22's- from a 52 year old el-cheapo Mossberg semi-auto (X-mas present that year) to bolt action and single shot target rifles. To make me pick just one or two for here on out, you better be holding a gun to my head. But if you did that to me, I would swallow hard and grab my Springfield M1922M2 (and also try to scoop up the Woodsman on the way out the door).

Well ,I currently own my two candidates..
First would be my CZ M452 American in .22 LR. Second would be my first rifle- a 1970's Winchester M9422.
The CZ shoots 3/8" cloverleafs with decent ammo at 50 yards. The m9422 is not too far behind.
Both are super quality rifles.

I am in agreement with jk16. CZ 452 shoots great, M9422 is a pleasure to carry and pleasing to look at. I will never pare down to just two rimfire rifles let alone handguns. I could get down to one bolt action, two lever actions, one pump and one semi auto. Can’t part with my TC carbine either, it is the most accurate rimfire in my gun safe.

My vote would be a Kidd barreled action, tapered barrel, two stage trigger and place it in a cheap Hogue stock. Spend the rest of your money on CCI mini mags for life. Super impressive build quality at a price that is reasonable.

About ten years ago I picked up a Cooper Classic 57M, and mounted a 6X36 LR in super low rings.
Beyond the quality and half-minute accuracy, the rifle's fit and balance are far superior to any rimfire I have ever handled. It is likely the last of any of my rifles I would ever let go.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

My favorite was a Model 12 BSA Martini, peep sites, a gallery rifle. 29" heavy barrel micrometer peeps with a post and globe front. My eyes finally got to the point where I could not do it justice. Now a CZ 452 with scope. Everyone needs an accurate 22LR..

CZ 455 for me also..........I have no desire to own another 10/22, or other cheap rifle (Savage, Marlin, etc) again.

My Marlin 39A isn't just my favorite rimfire, it's my favorite rifle. Despite having a couple of pretty decent center fire rifles. Guy

I have a couple Browning A-Bolts in .22LR. Incredibly accurate. Full-sized A-Bolts, they're great for off season practice. No longer made but easy to find, although not cheap.
