fw707: This is the only other photo that I have of the 40X - it is a real sweetie, shot the best group ever with a .22 @ 50yd outdoors with this gun that came in @ 0.11" (averages right around 0.25"). It could probably do better if I was a better shot [img][IMG] http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s88/Damariscotta/695_9521.jpg[/img][/img]

My fave .22 rifle is the only .22 rifle I presently own - a Marlin 70HC. It's semi auto, magazine fed, and sports a very nice 4X Nikon. It is the first firearm I ever purchased.
Now I know there are better .22 rifles out there, but I've had this thing for about 18 years and she still keeps bringing a smile to my face.
One day I'd like to get a nice bolt action job (maybe a CZ or a Savage) and probably also a Ruger 10/22 (to compliment my MKIII 22/45 and my Single Six).
These days, with ammo prices so high and the recession and all, you just can't beat a .22 for cheap plinking fun.

Mine is my Marlin 39A. Just something nostalgic about a lever action 22, makes me feel like a kid again.

I have/had 2 Win. M-63 simi-autos, one that I shoot deer with for a fencing crew in old Mexico many years ago. The other was a highly Customized M-63 win. rifle I built and sold recently for $4500.
They are super accurate rifles and beautiful in design..I also like the straight lever Marlin 39s..and of course the Win. M-52 is always desirable.

Tough question - but I'd have to say my Brooks-kitted CZ452 Varmint. It easily shoots 3/8" or better 5-shot 50yd groups all day long - with bulk ammo.
Lunatic fringe....we all know you're out there.

A friend of mine had a 40X Sporter that was a Tournament D grade. Took him four years to get from the custom shop @ Remington. Worth every second of the wait. It has the most drop dead gorgeous stock I have ever seen in my life. The engraving was superb. It broke my hart to put Buhler bases and rings because it covered up the squirrel on the receiver ring. At the current market value today, I would have to put a price north of 25K. He paid right at 4500.00 dealer price in 1974. The absolute top drawer .22 rifle I ever saw.

Have had two 77/22's... this is my current. Both have consistently shot 1/2" five-shot/50 yards groups with el-cheapo American Eagle HVHP ammo. Go figure. Hard not to like that...

My favorite is a CZ 452 Style. It shoots great with Federal bulk ammo.

Tip926, You refer to the Ansch�tz 54 sporter. Is this the 1710 rifle, like this one ?

OK, I see. Trigger(s) and stock design vary but the 54 action is the same.

Hard to say "favorite". We have Winchester, Remington, Savage, Marlin, Taurus, Ruger, a LH CZ 452, maybe more. Single-shots, repeaters in bolt, auto, lever, and pumps. I like them all, but I seem to grab a sixty plus year old Marlin 39A more than any, whether for fun or small vermin shooting.

Beauty of a rifle! I love the old Rem's and Winchester 22's.
My 10/22 prob. gets to see more action today.It's handy to carry and the accuracy is good.
My Grandson has a nice Voere , and it's a tack driver! I sneak it out every chance I get. I've tried to trade him a couple of 10/22's for it, but he's not going for it.lol!
