Who doesn't like a good .22 pistol or revolver?
Here are my lifetime "keepers" out of too many .22 hand guns bought and sold. On top is the Ruger Single Six I bought for myself on my 21st birthday, just to celebrate. I keep it partly due to that, partly because it's just a damn good revolver. Next one down is a pre-model numbered S&W "K22" (before they called them that). I can't remember just how I acquired this one, but it is also one damn good revolver. The autoloader is a High Standard Sport King, cousin to their Match King, which remains the only pistol of American manufacture to ever win Olympic gold. Accurate as any .22 I have ever owned, fantastic trigger, and just a joy to shoot.

My most fun 22 - coworker found the bolt group in her yard and gave it to me, started out as a no-buffer-tube blaster style, then I put it on a braced lower and then I SBR'd it and put a proper stock on (Magpul fixed carbine)
Sadly the sights don't have enough adjustment at such close spacing, so I run it with just a red dot on it. Hope to add a can sometime soonish

Never had the pleasure of shooting one of these. Alas, no longer made in Oregon. Don't think an old targetmaster can group with this one. As far as eye candy? Gorgeous to a traditionalist rifleman.

I'll buy myself a fantastic .22 and great timepiece when I retire. I have time.
 . thankfully, not a lot of time to make a list.

Yeah, those Ruger .22 autoloading pistols can be difficult to strip down for cleaning. I've had Mark I, II, II, and IV so I can't remember which was the worst. The III and IV are now in my sons' possession. I remember one was way easier than the other, I just can't remember which. I like my High Standard much, much more. Really easy to field strip for cleaning.
Enough of that... how about some .22 rifles? Top to bottom, a Remington 581 bolt gun, a Marlin 39A "Mountie", a Winchester Model 1890 pump, and a Ruger 10/22.  I actually used to compete in rimfire position matches with the 581. It's an unusually accurate example, just luck of the draw on my part in buying it. I mounted up a peep sight and went to town, actually winning a few of our indoor matches back in the '80's. The 39A is cool in that it is a takedown rifle. It will fit into a Harley saddlebag when taken down. And talk about "yeehaw factor" - I don't think a guy could have more fun than with a rimfire lever gun. With his clothes on, anyway. The Model 1890 is a close second place. Why no one makes a pump action .22 these days escapes me. I bet they would sell a few. The 10/22 is old enough to be a "pre warning" example. It rode home from a pawn shop while bungee corded to the sissy bar on the very same Sportster I still ride today. I must have been just 18 or 19 years old. Rode about 30 miles up the 405 freeway that way, just a few shop rags padding it against that sissy bar. Like a boss... Try that one today...
