For me it's my BRNO ZKM-611A takedown in 22 mag, it shoulders perfectly, more accurate than me, never jams, and it has some pretty wood. A close second would be my CZ 452.

Nice
I always wanted one of the BRNO ZKM's.
My favorite would be a humble Romanian Trainer. It is very accurate, I love the military style trigger and the leaf sights.
Close second would be my Remington 581 Bolt action. What a great rifle. I have 580 too I was going to have it done up as a 19 Calhoon but I never got around to it.
OLD Marlin 39A
My first 10/22 I bought when I was 16.
Most accurate is my 77/22.
I do have one of them russian trainers and it is fun to shoot.
I have CB's for it and it is quieter than a pellet gun.
Almost forgot this one, wow not sure why. My FIRST 22lr, Daisy 22 with adjustable plastic stock and removable 10 rd mag! Only wish i could find and afford a few more mags for this rifle. It has been a dead shot since day 1, no scope ever needed. LOTS of memories with that rifle.
That's kinda like asking someone who their favorite kid is. I have more than a couple that I am fond of and all shoot better than I can with the ammo they prefer. Some have a special meaning beyond their functionality. Dads Winchester 69A with the factory peep sight for example. My Kimber Super America that I got from a decorated WW2 vet who was a close personal friend. Judys little Anschutz Woodchuck that was restocked by one of the best stock makers of his generation. He even added Neidner grip cap and butt plate. Definitely a silk purse out of a sows ear kind of thing. I'm kind of fond of my 10/22 build even after I said I would never own a 10/22. The Walnut Hill with the Unertl shoots well and just looks like a classic and a few more. So I guess I am just fickle and can't be loyal to just one. It is a terrible position to be in.😁 Bob
Model 72 Winchester. My dad bought it new in 1939 and it's still one of the most accurate .22's I've ever shot.
It has the factory peep sight and hooded front. Many a ground squirrel has met it's demise at the muzzle end of that ol' gun!
In this order, Ruger 10/22, Winch. Mod 63, Glenfield Mod 25, Marlin Mod. 25MN, Crackshot 26, Ruger Single Six
Winchester 9422
Winchester 67A

Got a bunch i really like. But my favorite is a Marlin 39A. Mom bought it for Dad for their first wedding anniversary. My grandchildren learned to shoot with that rifle.
It sits in a place of honor in the safe, next to a Brazilian side-by-side 12 that my bride bought me for our 1st anniversary- 47 years ago.
Raw accuracy: the Anschutz 1413 with Mueller 8X32 scope 10 shots 50 yards, one hole.
Hit everything I shoot at out to 200 yards shoulder gun: The Glenfield 22 barn gun, shot over 30,000 times.
My favorite shoots okay but a lot of fun for plinking gun the Ruger 10-22.
10/22 is my go to for most circumstances, but I've found the Henry lever action is making more trips for plinking lately.
my mossberg model 52 with the totally useless but max cool factor fold down forearm.
Even half dozen in the safe . Favorite is a Stevens /Springfield model 87 A followed by a Ruger Single six convertible with the 9&3/8 inch barrel . For pure fun the nylon 66 . The 87 or one just like it has been my constant companion for bettter than 55 years .
@varian my brother had the bolt action model (can't remember the number) with the super cool folding forearm. I was always so jealous of him for it! All I had was a single shot lever action Ithica model 49.
Hand gun: Ruger Single six, Rifle: Henry lever.
Two or three favorites actually, all are old Savages, bolt and pump.
an old winchester 74 my dad gave me is the most accurate, but most fun is probubly browning BL22.....
Win. 61, it was 20 yrs. old when I bought it in 1957 (I was 16). $27 in a second hand store.
All great responses, but they'd be even better with pictures. 😁
9422, 22 magnum, a working rifle for sure.
Don't have the mental capacity to post pictures.
I have other makes that are real eye candy, HK-300 comes to mind, Winchester 52 sporter is up there to.
1999 marlin 25 22lr
yonson-Well you got me by $23 & 10 years! Bought it at a farm auction and paid $50 for it. Not a pretty gun but accurate and a great squirrel gun.
Favorite: Ruger 77/22
Most fun: Suppressed RAR
My Browning Buckmark
Badchris- that is a Mossberg 142. Semi auto is 152.
J C Higgins mod 30, semi auto rifle made by the old High Standard.
S & W Victory semi auto hand gun.
A couple of pre-way Elephant Ear Colt Woodsmen, and this little S&W target model from about a century ago.
Brad Steele
Remington Nylon 66. I still remember wanting one and drooling at the adds in magazines. Now I want the set!
Winchester Model 1906.................the first gun I ever got.........I was 12 yrs. old.
S&W Model 17
Which ever one I shoot that day.
My Remington 541-s. Bought it 45 years ago when I was 17.
I like a Browning BL-22.
You know a 22 LR with iron sights is about the best gun to ever come down the pipe.
High Standard HD Military.
Rifle wise kinda partial to my Winchester 52 Sporter.
1938 Colt Match Target Woodsman ❤️ I can shoot the spots off a ladybug with that thing.
Can't attest to the accuracy, as I have not shot it yet.
Can't say it is my "favorite" shooter, but it is a REAL GOOD conversation starter.
I gave away some here that I really did like a lot.
I have to say that the 22 that I have my hands on most, is the one I always have with me, when I am away from home.
We call it the pea shooter. North American Arms revolver. LOL
Better than nothing, as a backup.
What would be the distance of those ladybugs? Careful now, you are in contention for handgun bullchitter award!
22 lr.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
