My "favorite" .22 rifle has to be my Model 62A. It is just like the one my old man used during the 30's and 40's to feed the family. He would go hunting with it and come home with a trunk full of anything he could get. Mom would figure a way to prepare whatever he had!!
When he died in 1991 I found out he had sold it years before. So I went on a quest to find one just like it. Mine is a 1946 model.
I have many .22 rifles but this is my Favorite one.
