As per always, you guys have some sweet rimfires. I like this rimfire section. Love looking at all the eye candy. That trainer rifle is a cool one. You don't see many of those around anymore. I have seen a couple at gunshows and have always admired them. A buddy and I were at a shop near the coast a couple weeks ago and saw a cool full stocked Mossberg trainer. It has dual apertures (front and back). I should have bought that one too, dang it... Figured I had too many target 22's as of right now. That's not possible though..
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

For me it’s hard to pick - 22s are my favorite! For rifles - the middle one of these three is right up there. I hunt/shoot it often - but sunny days only! Winchester 1890 semi-deluxe in 22 WRF. For pistols the one I grab the most is my stainless MK II bull barrel with Leupold delta point. Whatever the dot is on gets a bullet in it. My mkII pistola is just like that one. I love it. So damn accurate and it never fails to fire. Ruger hit the nail on the head with that one.. So since I did not list a pistol before, this is my favorite. Even though I have a competition target model with a longer barrel and nicer grips, it doesn't feel as nice in the hand as this one does. Quick handling and accurate is what I like.

I've got a Remington 572 that I put a Burris 1.75x5 on that I really like. Have a Marlin model 60 that became a cabinet queen after I got the Remington. For a pistol a Browning Buckmark works just fine.

Hands down and walking away, my Savage 6A. I have the open and aperture sights, but right now she wears a Weaver 29S in an original T1 mount. She does bug hole on a regular basis. Spooky accurate and off the chart cool factor! Handgun. My 1960 production Ruger Mark 1. I've never shot any handgun better than I do this one.
Keepin my back green and my powder dry. The LORD bless and keep you

Tough choice. In rifles probably my Ruger 77/22 and handguns my 10" mark 2

Here’s both of mine. A Dakota Arms 22 and a Freedom Arms 97. Close runner ups though are a Kimber 82 Superamerica and a S&W K-22 Combat Masterpiece.

I'm with you, Sbrown. 52 Sporter, S&W Pre-17 (and maybe a 75 Sporter or Browning SA 22 short.)

Hey Kenlguy, I like the looks of the rifle rest, care to coment on it? Sorry just saw this. It's a Caldwell Magnum Field Pod. The only rifle rest I use anymore. I like it even better than a bench.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I have several Ruger MK’s and they all shoot well. This one is the only one with a red dot. It had volquartsen target grips on it that gave excellent control… but it shoots just as well (and looks and handles better) with the original slabs so I put those back on. Can’t go wrong with a Ruger MK II

I embarrassed to say how many 22s I own, I've been having the crazy idea to start selling some off and using the money to buy me a sure enough nice bolt 22, wood preferred. What should I be looking at that is a step or 2 above guns like a 452, remington 541t, etc that I currently have. My winchester 320 isnt going anywhere. I'll probably thin out some of my 10/22s, single shot winchesters and remingtons.

A 52 sporter would be even better but depends on how much you want to spend.

Those 75 Sporters are great carrying rifles and accurate as heck in my experience. I won't trade mine for anything. If you are thinking about trading up to some higher end .22s I would be looking at the Steyr Zephyr II, Anschutz 1712 or 1710, Lithgow 101A, Kimber 82, Vudoo, or- if you want to get serious and have deep pockets look at a 52 Sporter or a Remington 40X Sporter...

Toss up between my model 63 Winchester and my Klack Kimber 82 . Won't ever get rid of either .
Grumpy old man with a gun.....Do not touch . Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Don't bother my monument and I'll leave yours alone.

Something for carry, I actually ran across a local 52, I think it was a B, someone had put it in a custom sporter stock that was beautiful, but it was so front heavy and kind of awkward with that barrel and that slim sporter stock. It would have been bench only. I think it went for 1300. Had a zepherII in my hands awhile back, almost did it. I'd love to have an 82 like posted above. i know where a laminate one is, i'm not a real fan of laminate. From what I understand, my winchester 320 was the precursor to the kimbers.
