I like my 10/22 but my Winchester mod 63 is the cats meow. I been hunting with it for 30 years and my father hunted with it for 40 before that. It still shoots and functions perfectly and is crazy accurate...
my squirrel type rifle is my 77/22 wood/blue, my heavy target gun is my Anschutz 1903, my target pistol is a SW 41 and my squirrel type is browning buckmark
10/22...........not. Anyways my favorite is my Savage MKIIFV. She has the sexiest trigger, and is very smooth. I also have a Marlin 925R, with factory mounted scope. Then there is my Marlin 925M, Remington 597, and Kel-Tec SU22. I love them all
Ruger Mark II stainless competition model. I show up with the guys to squirrel hunt with it and they laugh until we are heading out of the woods. The ol Ruger will keep up with them anyday. I like my rifles but something about that Ruger gets me. Aside from that would be the 10/22.
My son has a Henry blue'd lever and him and my dad love it, it is smooth and reasonably accurate, If your looking at Henry's be aware that there have been some model tweaks mainly on the rear sight, there are some plastic ones that have some movement in them and steel rear sights that don't move around much at all,
