My .22 rimfire rifles include:

1. Savage-Anschutz Model 164 bolt action sporter (about 1974) with an old Weaver 3X post & crosshair. Regularly shoots any ammo (including promo cheapies) into 1" at 50 yards.

2. Marlin 39A, about 1970 vintage. Will do just about anything I might ask of a .22 rifle.

3. Winchester Low Wall "Winder" musket, about 1890's vintage, .22 Short single-shot. A bit large and heavy to carry in the woods, but easily capable of postage-stamp size groups at any reasonable range. Keeps me constantly hunting for .22 Short ammo, which can be hard to find anymore.

4. Winchester Model 62-A, made in 1940. The classic slide-action take-down .22 rifle. Light weight, easy to carry, and will shoot the eyes out of rabbits as far as my old grampa eyes can see to focus.

I enjoy all of these, and they make great training tools for the grandkids to learn with. Same grandkids have already made off with a couple of Ruger 10-22's and several single shot bolt-actions by Winchester and Remington that I picked up over the years.

If I had to pick just one it would have to be the Winchester 62-A. Simple, functional, light weight, easy to carry, and deadly accurate at rimfire ranges. Not easy to find in top condition anymore, and pricey when found, but well worth it to me.
