Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires What is Your Favorite 22 Rifle??

I would have to say it's my Remington Model 541-S. It is a tough choice really. I really like my Weatherby Mark XXII semi auto also. It shoots real well out to 100 yds.

I have pricier ones but the man said "favorite" and that would have to be my first of two CZ 452 Americans - it simply "fits":

...I do love my Remington 541HB, but my Kimber of Oregon model 82 is a shade more accurate overall because of it's lack of preference for brand of ammo, it shoots most any load well.In a semi-auto for plinking I like the Remington 550 or 552, but for super accurate shooting, and squirrel hunting, my H&K model 270 is superb! My favorite lever is my Marlin model 39 CARBINE, a compact gun that performs near match gun accuracy. My inexpensive Remington 580 single shot is light and extremely accurate, a super squirrel gun.....Really my CZ 452's and Kimber Hunter model couldn't be forgotten either....Sentimentally my Remington nylon 66, and my Savage model 6 auto loader I wouldn't want to leave out. The savage was my first 22, the Rem.66 from my teen years.

My favorite is my Ruger 77 walnut blue.

Second is my Ruger 10/22.

Third is my Remington 580.

Fourth is my Remington 581.

Fifth is my son's Marlin 60.

Absolute favourite is a 1948 Browning Trombone that Mom bought for Dad the year they got married -- for his birthday. Dad willed it to his oldest son, me. Medicman got the rest of the rifles. That thing has shot boxcar loads of ammo, and it'll still pick an empty 22 casing off a twig at 20 paces.

After that, it is a el cheapo Ruger 10/22. Tack driving accurate. If I buy another one, it'll be be a BRNO bolt.

My favorite right now are Marlin 39's.I'm getting ready to wring out an Anshutz 1710 with a bull barrel. We'll see how that goes!

Bea175: I have owned some dandy 22's in my lifetime including Winchester 52's, 75's, 61's along with a bunch of Remington bolt actions that shot well.
And thats what I base my "favoritism" on - accuracy!
Nowadays I have three real accurate "favorite" 22's!
#1: Remington 40X with 27 1/4" heavy barrel and it uses a Nikon Monarch 5.5x16.5 scope.
#2: Kimber M-22 H/S (Hunter/Silhouette) with 24" barrel and it has a Nikon 4.5x14 scope on it.
#3: Ruger 10/22 Deluxe with a Lilja 22" extra heavy, match chambered, stainless steel barrel. This Rifle switches scopes often but right now it has a Leupold 4x12 A/O variable scope on it.
A nostalgic "favorite" of mine though is an old Remington bolt action Model 511-P clip fed gun with an old timey scope on it.
I was about 5 years old when my father took my older brother and me to a pawn shop on Seattles Skid Road (Row) and paid $11.00 for this Rifle (used). While there I made the unknowing social faux pas of asking that pawn shop owner what the numbers tatooed on the inside of his forearm were for!
My father apologized for me and we had a little talk on the way home.
This was "MY" (and my brothers) first Rifle.
Many years later I became a Public Safety Officer (policeman) in that same city and eventually made close friends with that fine and gentle man from the pawn shop, and I bought several more firearms from him.
Gee, that little Rifle was purchased for my brother and I about 57 years ago now - time really flies.
It still shoots pretty well though.
Long live 22 Rifles!

Dis un!! It's a Kimber Hunter 22, topped by a Leupold VXI 2-7x33mm set parallax free at 50 yards. [img][IMG]http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q316/Phil-Nesmith/Squirrel18of2008-2009season009.jpg[/img][/img]

Remington 511. Got it for my 12th birthday, 1955. Got a Weaver B4 scope for it at Christmas. Shot it and squirrel hunted with it so much I was surprised if something didn't drop when I pulled the trigger. Damn near stayed in the woods during hunting season. I've had better looking 22s, more expensive 22s and more accurate 22s but that's the one.

my Rem 572 fieldmaster pump shoots anything and is dead on,nice big game rifle sights for my less than stellar eyesight.

For accuracy, my custom M12/15 Martini.
For aesthetics, my 1922 M2 Springfield.
For nostalgia, my Marlin 81DL that I learned to shoot with 45 years ago.

Many .22's have come and gone over the years, but these three are my constants.

I've had a few: Ruger 10/22, Savage bolt, Rem 581, Rem 572BDL, and an ABolt 22. And my newest is a CZ452 American.

As for a favorite, I think the new CZ is going to take the cake soon. One of my favorite kills with a 22LR was this called bobcat, he took two rounds (Golden bullet HPs) from the Rem 581:


MtnHtr

Stevens, 22-410.

Marlin 39A.

Shoots 1/2" groups at 50 yards with target ammo.





This little Ruger is the most accurate .22 I've ever had. Installed a trigger kit and Its easy a 1/2" rifle with standard ammo.

This was my fav today, Winchester 61. Tomorrow, who knows...
