Dad's first gun. Still shoots very well.
Thanks for asking Picher,Which of your lever .22s do you like best and why?
It is a Winchester Model 67 single shot .22 rifle. My Dad bought used in 1942 so it was probably made in the mid to late 30's. There were a number of similar guns on the market around that time.Can you tell me the make and model of your rifle? Single shot? It reminds me of my uncle's .22, which was the first rifle I ever shot many years ago.

My 39A modest collection are my favorites. The history and craftsmanship simply flow from those guns. That, and they will tear up most other 22s on the line.
This one has a superb Skinner peep sight on it. 39M from the mid-60's.

That really covers it quite well. I picked my first 22 but between hand guns and rifles I like them all.That's like asking which one of our kids is your favorite.
We won't ask which of those fine rimfires is your favorite....What a "wonderful trip" through five pages of .22 rimfire BLISS! Seems to me a specific .22 rimfire category would be warranted from what has been posted on these five pages.
But............asking which of my .22's are my favorite? That's like asking which one of our kids is your favorite. If I've ever met any .22 firearm that I didn't like, it was either traded off or just plain sold outright. Here's just a smidgeon of my "favorite" children:

This M-37 Remington was a heavy barreled target rifle before I had it reborn as a classic sporter. With original barrel turned down to a trim profile and stock and metal styled after early 20th Century British big game rifles, it is still as accurate as a target rifle.

This M-37 Remington
I have several .22s but my favorite for different reasons would be the Marlin model 80DL that was my Pop’s first rife and was my first rifle. A Marlin model 25 that was my late brother’s first rifle and the one I shoot the most is my Anschutz 1712 silhouette rifle. I have a S&W model 41 and a K22 that I like too.
Notice I didn't specify a specific .22.
I'll start it off. I can smack golf balls at 150yds pretty regularly if I do my part, all day.
