Have not seen the Smith and Wesson Victory 22 mentioned so I’ll add it here. Very impressed with mine. I also like my Henry’s.

Have either had, or played with a good bit:
Marlin 82 Marlin 39M Rem 581 Nylon 12 Nylon 66 10/22 Kimber 82 77/22 T/C Classic Smith 41 Smith 17 Ruger Mk2&3 New Bearcat Single Six CZ 455 CZ453 9422 Original TBolt
All of them pretty good guns, with a couple of quirks here and there. A few were outstanding. Two I still want to try are a Browning SA and a Low Wall.

some of the "must-have" rimfires for me...
assorted Kimber 82's Various Anschutz sporters , both 54's & 64's... Ruger 77/22's Rem 541's various CZ452's and, i like the older 500-series Remington bolt guns, in both single shot & repeater variations.
as auto-loaders go: Remington Speedmaster Ruger 10/22's Nylon 66
Guess in handguns, my must-have .22 list would include Assorted S&W K22's and, a S&W j-frame or 2 Ruger Mark II

“Must own” is different than what one likes but I feel you wouldn’t be complete without Anschutz 54 Winchester 52 Plain Jane 10-22 (they just work all the time) High zoot 10-22 (KIDD) 40x
S&W 41 Single six

MUST own? Ruger 10/22 & MKII. The rest are just fluff. I own a bunch of fluff too.

When Mr Woodchuck shows up it's almost always a 10/22 that comes out the door. Every shooter should own at least one. Ruger Mk I,II,or III. Ruger Bearcat 541-s Remington beehive bolt series Remington 580, 581, 582 Remington 34, 341 just because that lifter system is sooooo cool Nylon 66 just, because

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I have been fortunate to have owned dozens of 22 firearms ( in the past near 40 years) probably like many of you. So, I will call 22 LR ownership a journey. Buy/trade for one. Shoot it. Evaluate it. Keep it or trade it for something else. Wash, rinse, repeat.
I hope all 22 LR rifle owners have the opportunity to own and SHOOT A TRULY ACCURATE 22. Something with some heft and barrel hang. There is just something special about shooting a sub-1/2” group at something like 50 yards.
A “ must have” 22 LR rifle for accuracy? Pick one. Ones that I have owned/shot include: CZ-452 American, Anschutz 1411 ( 54 action), Rem 540xr, Marlin 880 SQ, Win 310, Marlin model 60 ( still own all of those).
Others I sold: Win 75 target, Win 69a ( gave to my niece), Marlin 39a ( gave to my other niece), Rem 521, 510, 511,580, 37, Mossberg 144 , Rem fieldmaster, Savage 22/410, Erma bolt military trainer ( brother has it), Ruger 10/22, and several others. I have enjoyed the journey.-hope to play with a couple more of them.

Side note: research the writings of Don Lewis. He wrote for Pennsylvania Gun News for decades (1960s- 1980s?, 1990s+?),and many other magazines. I remember an article he wrote in the 1977 Gun Digest ( dark blue cover with flintlock rifles on the cover- still remember it). He wrote an article about squirrel hunting with accurate 22 rifles. He liked an Anschutz model 64 medium weight target rifle with a 6x Unertl. He had accuracy results of about a dozen 22 rifles shooting different ammo. He praised the accuracy he got from standard velocity ammo instead of HV ammo. That article got me going on 22 rifles for hunting. Great article, try to find it.

Anschutz either 54 or 64, both good Rem 541 S or T, again both good Kimber of Oregon 82 CZ452 American Ruger Mk I or II Ruger Single Six Marlin 81/781 Rem 581 or 582 Rem 550-1
These are or were in my inventory at one time or another and I am glad I had a chance to shoot them.
