Just thought I'd list my favorite 22's and why I prefer them. First and foremost is my Ruger MKII Bull Barrel Stainless. Had it for several years and it has been utterly reliable with anything I feed it. Winchester's, Wally-World Federals, Remingtons , you get the idea. I've took several squirrels and a rabbit with it over the years. Can't get a rabbit to set still long enough for a pistol shot. I like the stainless model for added corrosion resistance on extended outings. Second is my Springfield Armory M-6 Scout. What can you say about this simplistic but accurate and reliable weapon. It's not just a 22, it also has a 410 gauge shotgun for the lower barrel making it a double barrel weapon. It even has a compartment to keep your rounds in located at the top of the buttstock. I can go on and on about this gun but bottom line is, if you don't have one and see one cheap, snap it up quick! When I got mine several years ago, they were going for $200 or less. When I checked Gunbroker.Com tonight, they're going for anywhere from $400 to $700 dollars. Holy Smoke! Don't know if I'd give that for one, but I'd certainly give $200 or $300 for one in a second! I'll add some other favorites in part 2 of this post.
