of all the calibers out there, Americas Sweetheart 22LR is my absolute favorite. I have the big calibers, but the 22 is such a verstile round and can still get a lot done in a pinch, not to mention how easy it is to have a few hundred rounds on you. For Nostalgia, I will go with the 10/22 just because you can do so much with them. But I have a hankering for one of those SW 617 Masterpieces, i will get one some day! I just got the Sig P322 last month, and im having a blast with its 20rd mags. My first suppressor is still in jail and I have a feeling its going to be a game changer! My new P322 below! Photo was before I got the oil off from the factory!
What's your Favorite .22LR

I always wanted a SW .22 wheel gun myself, or a dedicated .22 AR, since the conversions work, but the barrel twist for the 55g or heavier bullets don’t work as well for the .22lr, so I have been told.

I have the MP 15-22 for my daughter and we love it, but we just shoot off the bench within 25 yeards. Havnt really put it to work yet. But I just ordered some steel targets to start reaching out more. VERY accurate at 25 though, as it should be!
I have many. It's hard to pick just one. In handguns, I guess it would be a Ruger MK II 10". For semi auto rifles, probably a Remington 550-1. Lever guns would be a Marlin 39a. Sporter weight bolt rifle would be a CZ 452 of some variety. Heavy target rifle for bench shooting would be Remington 40x.

Good point, so many different tools for the job. I love my MKIV target for paper, I have some CZ 455's and an added on 17HMR barrel. Love those CZ's!
All of the CZ bolt action rimfires are fantastic. The 452, 453, and 455 rifles were twice the rifle for half the price when they first came out.
Mk IV Tactical and a 10/22!

The tactical is on my list now that I have a suppressor being processed!
My favorite 22lr rifle is my 1949 Remington 'Speedmaster':
My favorite 22 pistol is my Walther PPK/s:
My favorite 22 revolver and overall favorite 22lr is my S&W 'Kit gun':

hey those are some nice pieces! I was eying the PPK. How old is that one? I heard the newer ones had some finish issues, but that could have been from poor maintenance.
I am guessing that Walther is a 2012 or newer

Ive shot some of the old ones that were 9mm and loved them. Ill definitely check out the 22 too.
If I had to pick one it would be my GSG (German Sport Gun) .22lr. It’s a full weight .45 1911. It’s just so fun for target and plinking.

Those GSG guns are great, They have a lot of clones if I remember. Like the MP5 and I think they even had an AK at one point.
Hard to pick a favorite as I have several to include; a custom Ruger 10/22 with KIDD barrel and trigger, Ruger Mk II and MkIII pistols, Ruger Super Single Six, S&W model 17, and a Marlin 39A, plus .22LR and .22 Mag. barrels for my TC Contender pistol. The only thing I don't have covered is a bolt action and a rim fire AR. I have a suppressor that I use on the 10/22 and MkIII. If I could only have one suppressor, it would be a .22 can. You will love yours when it gets free!
European Walthers carry a date code; in this case 'BK'. The code starts with A == 0 and skips either J or I so it is a 2019 model.
There aren't too many .22s that I don't like. My brother has a CZ rifle that is a tack driver. A Ruger 10/22 is a great gun for plinking or even for fast, fun shooting. Lately I've enjoyed plinking with a Taurus TX-22 pistol.
And my dad has an old Mossberg 151 M that still shoots like a champ. This isn't his rifle. I just grabbed it from the internet.

For a rifle, the Marlin 39a my father bought for me back in 1952, Handgun a S&W K 22 I bought as a young 2nd Lt in the USAF. My father had one of those, and it was the pistol I learned to shoot with. Still have both. I have a couple of smaller hander Marlin Mounties, and a couple of bolt action .22's that are more accurate, but not as much fun, and a S&W M 41 semi auto target pistol with two barrels, probably a little more accurate. but I still like my old revolver. I recently found a used S&W M 18, which is basically a K 22 with a shorter 4" barrel and a ramped front sight, like one of the old Combat Masterpiece 38 revolvers.
