Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires What's your favorite 22 rimfire??

Marlin 39A.

Rifle: Either my 1922M2 Springfield or my custom BSA Martini 12/15.
Pistol: 1946-Vintage (made with pre-war parts) Woodsman w/ WWII gov't target grips.

My dad has a Remington 241 that I grew up shooting. Love that gun.

I really am liking my new Remington 597 too.

My dad gave me this gun after I killed my first squirrel with it.

Not exactly sure what it is, a Savage of some kind.



Heritage Arms Rough Rider

Nice....I really like that birdshead grip!!

My most accurate one is my 541 sporter, but my favorite is my 9422 Legacy. I had it out yesterday..great lines, action smooth as butter, easy loading through the tube, and points like a dream. I hadn't fired my 22's in awhile and forgot how much fun they can be

Marlin 39A

Marlin 56

Marlin 60

My favorite pistol I own. I took squirrels with it regularly last year, it is a really good shooter. Also has a 22mag cylinder, it doesn't have the scallops on the sides, makes it look more "cap and ball" like.

For rifles..My 1927 Marlin Model 39 and pretty much any Ruger 77
Pistols..harder to answer. Had a Taurus SS 22mag revolver I liked alot.
Ruger Super Single Six
Ruger Mark II & III (Competition target & Hunter)
Buckmarks are good too, not my first pic tho
Then theres that S&W revolver I cant remember the model of..really nice and full sized AND PRICEY

My favorite 22 rifle is my old Remington 550-1 auto. I bought it while I was stationed at Little Rock AFB for the princely sum of fifteen U.S. Dollars. Many days off were spent happily shooting that rifle. You would need a full size American pickup truck to haul the amount of ammo that has gone down it's barrel. It shoots shorts, longs and long rifles. With the factory shell deflector it would occasionally jam so, like every other owner I removed and promptly lost it. It's not as reliable as a newer 10-22 but it's still my favorite. And if anybody has a factory shell deflector that's gathering dust...

I only have a few, but I like them all.wning

1.) 1948 Browning trombone -- sentimental and accurate
2.) 1971 Browning Challenger -- newest and accurate
3.) 1980's Ruger 10-22 -- most fun and accurate
4.) CZ453 American -- most accurate

Favourite HAS to be accurate!

Picked it up an hour ago CZ452 Style ,feels real nice .

I sat here and ponder .22's and i guess i've only owned two of them -first was a rem 572 fieldmaster.

My favorite .22 rimfire is my 6" Blued Colt Diamondback. I don't shoot it that often because it is too pretty.
The most fun .22 rimfire I have is the new S&W MP15-22, With 6 magazines loaded up, you can burn thru 3 boxes of shells in about a minute! FUN! And surprisingly, if you take your time, it actually is quite accurate. This summer it will be the prime short range "out the car window" gopher gun. ( Although the empty cases flying around the inside of the car are a bit annoying. I can see why my farmer friends prefer their bolt action 17 HMR's for the same duty)

I have a Marlin 39A I bought new in 1975.I haven't shot it much since the early 80's and she's been a safe queen since.I'm a little older now and open sights are tough on the eyes,so I decided what the heck,why not put a scope on it.I had a Bushnell 3200 with a thick crosshair laying around,so I put that on it.Man,talk about a shooter.That thing will put them in the same hole!!!!I mean accurately awesome.
