My first rifle was a remington single shot .22 model 514. At the tender age of 13 I would put her in my bicycle basket and peddel to the mini market to get my ammo. Something you would not want to do today as I'm sure someone would end up in jail. Back then I carried a pocket knife to school starting in the 3rd grade.
I have some favorite .22 rifles: winchester 63 - relaible to a fault
chipmunk single shot - always handy, but hard to shoot.
cz452 scout - talk about accurate and easy to tote not to mention easy on the wallet. cz rimfires are a well guarded secret.
The real beauty of the .22 is the vast selection of ammo. Sometimes the cheapest ammo will out shoot the more expensive stuff. You just have to try as many brands as you can. Just stay away from remington's famous golden bullet unless you don't mind missfires.
