Show me your favorite rimfire

I love all my rimfires and have a few classics M39,Browning SA and a sweet Mossberg 44US but one of my recent put togethers has been supplying me with a ton of fun. It's the Savage tactical version in a Boyd's stock with a 4-12X Bushnell dawn&dusk and I added a linear compensator it's lightweight and super accurate easily 1" ish @ 100 with CCI std vel.
 
Marlin model 99M1.
Favorite rimfire ammo? Western XPERT standard velocity in the yellow box from back in the 1970's. That stuff is way good.
 
Henry H001 was my first rifle, an accurate lightweight .22. Holds plenty of rounds, only time I've had to deal with their customer service was when the plastic follower on the tube broke, Henry was outstanding in every way quickly shipping out a new tube with stronger follower in quick order.

Marlin 917v, bought it used for $200, trigger was way too heavy but once that was remedied it is better than half an inch at 100 yards.
 
Not all 10-22s look the same.

Over half of "the collection" is in .22 caliber, but do favor the Winchester 52's.

Well,the pic thing is an obstacle. And there is more than one.
I have an early Win 52.The rear ladder sight one.And a Rem 513T.
I would guess vintage 1960's Anschutz young person's rifle.It a Junior Varminter,double sets and a Mannlicher stock.Sized for the 5 ft something folks.
And a BRNO semi-auto 22 WMR. Walnut and steel,checkered ,takedown.Looks like US top quality from the 50's/60's
Honorable mention to a pair of Chipmunks,one in 22 WMR
 
These are new acquisitions, but I have a hunch they'll end up being my favorites. Ruger has discontinued the 77 line. I was lucky enough to find these new for under $380 while prices on gun broker are soaring. The stainless is a 22LR and the blue is a 22mag.

Im actually looking really hard for a 77/22 in stainless/synthetic. Man all these are beautiful.

Did you know Ruger is no longer making the 77/22? They are still some new guns out there. That cannot last much longer. I image there is a pretty much unlimited supply of used guns. There were some closeouts talked about on the web around $400. I bet those move fast. Stainless & plastic I believe.

I found the discussion, sportsman's warehouse $399:

I expect to see your photos by now. Did you try PAINT?
 
Revelation Mod 107/ Mossberg Mod 640 "Chuckster".22mag bolt action. Got this rifle in a trade for some work on a car I did for a friend. Stuck a 429 in his 1969 Mustang. That was a tight fit. Torches and welders. This is one of the best shooting rifles I own. It had been in his laundry room closet for many years. It had belonged to his first wife that had passed away many years ago while he was in Vietnam.

Hdonly: As a young'un I had picked the 640K as "THE" rifle .I never came up with one,but you put a smile on! Thanks!
 
HiBC, when my friend handed me this dirty old rusty rifle, I didn't realize what I had in my hands. He didn't have much money and I would have just as soon helped him without taking anything. He insisted because he knew I liked guns and he didn't want it anymore. I took it home and cleaned it up. Took it outside to try it out. I was impressed. It is now one of my favorite guns. I just can't seem to miss with this one. I have killed several hogs with this rifle. Never took more than one shot to put them on the ground.
