Question for 22 rifle owners: What is your favorite?

[Shots fired...]

I really enjoy my ruger 10/22 and my s&w 15/22.

Sounds like the 10/22's are among the favorites. I've only seen one or two at shops just loafing around. Might have to take a closer look?

My old favorite has been the Marlin 39a leveraction I bought back in 1974. I've shot a bunch of squirrels with it. However, in the last few years, I've really gotten attached to single shot rifles. My new favorite .22 is the little H&R Sportster single shot. I bought the little rifle last year, and had a ball chasing squirrels with it!

Since squirrel season is over, I've added several embelishments to it. A new monte carlo stock to better align my eye with the scope, and a 3-9x 50 mm scope with a BDC. Then for my birthday, I found a guy in Lafayette that does hydrographic camo jobs on guns, and had the stock done in a 3D camo. Can't wait for squirrel season next August!

I love 22's and have many.

I collect 22 lever actions. My favorite has to be a 9422 mag winchester I bought it
at bradis guns back when the shop had more chainsaws and lawn mowers than guns.

From the bench i like my new Kimber 82G with peep sights. Scoped i have a semi custom 10-22 target that is nice.

For walking around with a marlin 39M or a browning sa-22. Both carry like a dream.

When I used to trap nothing like a stevens single shot 22 short.

In a way every 22 I own or see for sale is my favorite. Kind of like which Victoria's secret supermodel would I like to have as a girlfriend.

This is awesome info! See? Now I can look them up online and learn more about each of them and gain a better understanding of why they are so well liked. Then, I'll go take a closer look at Victorias supermodels too!!

There's a certain attraction to the idea of finding an older one at a shop that's still in good condition and worth hanging onto. Although, inheriting one would mean that much more!

Nice! Apparently the squirrel got tired of waiting for you to take the picture?

Another mention of the Marlin 39a. I'm making my list! Thanks for sharing!

Shots fired: I currently don't own one. The Ruger 10/22 are very reliable, accurate and affordable.

CNA and Scottie1317: Are the 15/22's more accurate than the 10/22's? I know one is a tactical rifle and the other is standard but wondered if there was any real difference otherwise?

They are a lot more affordable. I've definately noted that too. Seems to be a bunch of them out there so that says a lot about them.

My Marlin Golden 39A is still my favorite. Not sure of the year but early 80's.

 

[Mad Dog]

Shots fired, If you go the Marlin 39a route, look for an older used one. Since Marlin got bought out, there have been quality issues on some of the new ones. Oh yeah, a pic of my old one.

The only one I have-a Savage Mark II. I put a nikon prostaff scope on it and it's been a delight.

 

[bstewrat3]

My favorite is my Winchester 67 that has been handed down for 3 generations. My grandfather bought it himself at 10 years old in Missouri in the 1930's.

I love my M&P 15-22 and my Savage FV-SR.

Both are great suppressed as well. Whatever 22lr I get, it has to have a threaded barrel.

My Marlin Golden 39A is still my favorite. Not sure of the year but early 80's.

Heatman...You are right a Marlin 39A "hands down" is hard to beat. In my opinion it tops them all for reliability, accuracy and quality.

I've had several Marlin 60's over the years and seem to keep coming back to them.

I've never been a 10/22 fan but that may be changing:

Appreciate all of the great feedback from everyone as well as the list I will put together as the ones to look for when I'm out shopping. Since both of mine are older, I think I'm more attracted to the idea of finding a nicer older one as has been suggested but the new ones are very intriguing as well. This is why you buy the safe bigger than you really need.

Thanks to everyone and I'll keep looking back to see if any others get added!

I only own one, a Mossberg 715T, which is basically a 702 Plinkster dressed up as an AR. Decent inexpensive rifle. Added a Vector Optics red dot scope.

 

[semperfi211]

My Stevens 954. Not fancy but it always works and hits where I'm aiming.

 

[Simon6101]

I have several

I am a very big 10/22 fan but I also own several others. I enjoy shooting my 96/22 because I can use the same mags as the 10/22.

 

[Vicfirth01]

I shoot Ruger 10/22 and a Ruger SR22. Both are fun to shoot and fun for plinking. I would say that the SR22 is my favorite even though its not a rifle!!
