So I have many of the same firearms as you, with some exceptions - I’m pretty heavy on single action revolvers. Here are some thoughts:
- someone mentioned a Ruger Single Six in 32 H&R Mag. I’d second that, but only if you reload. I’ve had more fun with that 7.5” Bisley than with any other gun. Soft shooting but not .22 soft (you feel like you’re shooting something substantial), accurate as all hell, and a really cool firearm.
- Ruger Mark IV Hunter - I got the Talo version (blued with wood grips, 5.5”). Dead accurate, easy to clean so I don’t loathe shooting it, and perhaps the best “walking around” gun out there. I considered a Smith 317 kit gun (I’m a little obsessed with the “trail gun” concept since I hunt, fish, and backpack a lot) but went with the Mark IV and am not disappointed. With CCI standard or Norma TAC rounds I can print 1” groups at 25, and with CCI Stingers you can dish out some authority to wayward squirrels or raccoons.
- CZ 527 in 7.62 Soviet - not made anymore and a bit hard to find, but it’s the gun I grab if I’m going out to either shoot tight groups or still hunt for deer or anything smaller. I have a 3-9 Vortex on it, and shoot sub MOA groups with cheap Russian steel ammo. For hunting I load my own, usually with Hornady SSTs. Only caution is to use Federal primers, as harder primers sometimes don’t like to spark with this rifle.
Many more I could recommend, but those are the three that are top of mind. I recently got a couple snake guns (King Cobra and Python) and they’re fantastic and wouldn’t make you sad either.
