Handgun - Ruger MK-II slab-side. 2nd choice would be the Ruger SR22. Rife: Rem M541T. 2nd choice would be (hunting/varmint) Savage MK-II blue/laminated or (SHTF ) Ruger 10-22.
Never thought I'd ever own a Savage, but this little MK-II is incredibly accurate and fun to shoot..

None of mine. Nope not even one. Wife/children can deal with them when I've crossed the big river.

I have my share of 22s, but If I had to pick one to keep, it would be my Winchester 320. I have the single shot version of your 320, the Win 310. They are sweet rifles.

My very first gun that my parents gave me on my 8th birthday, a Remington 580. Got several others I love, but that one is going to a loved friend or family member when I die.

My old Anschutz 54 Sporter. I have a Anschutz 1710HB that will slightly outshoot it, but the 54 was purchased new by my father in the 70's so there's sentimental value as well.

Either of my Remington 5mm Magnums.
The 591M is ~98% with a period Redfield Widefield Low-Profile 3-9
The 592M wears a 4.5-14 Burris Fullfield II and is no a beauty queen. But it shoots the first run Centurion ammo exceptionally well. I've notched 'chucks way out there with it and know it'll go farther. Personal best, to date, is 280 yards.

Another keeper is a flat gate Ruger Single Six my son gifted me at Christmas. He had gotten it from a friend, the original factory grips were broken beyond repair. I fit these ebony grips, installed Ruger medallions and had it checkered. Guns like that aren't trading inventory. Besides it's very accurate, trigger is really good. DF

I'd likely keep my Rem 541 w/ sporter weight barrel over the others I currently have... I'm embarrassed to say that I have one of these and I have never shot it. I ran across one at a local gun store, great condition, only one little safe ding. I think I paid 640 for it, thought it was a fair deal and took it home.

Never thought I'd ever own a Savage, but this little MK-II is incredibly accurate and fun to shoot.. While my 1949 model 52 takes the cake for "fun to shoot" because you get a sense of extraordinary quality, my Savage MKI FVT single shot takes a close second. I'll admit, I think the savage is every bit as accurate as the old winchester. One of the reasons I recently bought a MKII FVT target rifle. I've been cleaning up with the single shot at my clubs know your limits shoots with the single shot savage. The rifle is a shooter. With the right ammo, it will drive tacks. At 50 yards, those 1/4" targets don't seem so hard to hit with the savage. We've had guys from other clubs join in the fun and those guys are using souped up rifles that are known for exceptional accuracy, but none of them shoot on par with the Savage. I'm hoping my new Savage shoots as well as the single shot MKI: I'll drop it into a laminated stock, like I did with the MKI pictured above^^^^^
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My VUDOO, don’t think I have ever enjoyed a gun this much! Everything else seems to stay in the safe now.
