    Remington 541T. I've had nothing in .22 close to it's accuracy. It'll neuter a gnat at 75 yds w/target ammo.
    I have redone the trigger and done the basics to it. I've had a lot of .22s in my life but I've kept this one and will pass it to my sons when I'm no longer on the green side of the grass.
    Who says the grass isn't greener on the other side?

    A Savage 164 Sporter with a Redfield 4X scope I picked up around 1980. I would lay a 12 gauge round on it's side, get back a safe distance and shoot the primer to set it off. And of course, like an idiot, I traded it off.

    A Winchester Model 1890 .22 pump built around 1904-1906. Been in my wifes family the whole time. That old octagonal barrel will but the bullet in exactly the same place everytime.

    At a family reunion last year, at first everyone wanted to play with my SW15-22. After the Pump came out, everyone put the AR down.

    My most accurate .22 rifle? Ruger 10/22, All-Weather model, with a cheap Barska scope.

    Excellent package because it is very accurate in the hands of this weak-eyed, untrained, wannabe. :D

    Kimber 82g. It is a single shot bolt action but is hands down the most to shoot of those that I own. There is something beautiful about the simplicity of it. As a hunting gun; not practical. It weighs in at over 10 lbs but i wouldnt trade it for anything.

    Okay,

    I will chime in on this one. Most accurate is my current 10/22 but that was after I dumped a TON of cash into it....(which is easy to do with a 10/22)...but my favorite has got to be an old Marlin Papoose I had and sold (dumb ass)....Iron sights at 50 yards I could hit quarters....not 100% of the time mind you....

    I think I'd have to call it a tie.

    I have a really nice old Mossberg model 44 in a target stock that is more accurate than I am.
    I also have a Winchester model 1885 "Low-Wall" (single-shot falling block) that was originally chambered for .22shorts. It had been re-barreled for .22Lr before I got it. It now wears a Winchester model 52 barrel. It will match the Mossberg round for round.

    Grew up with one of these in 22 WRF... My Dad still has the two of them (one for my brother , and one for me). Those old octagon barrels do amazingly well

    A marlin 883ss. A bolt action, tube fed weapon, chambered in WMR. Fell in love with the gun as soon as I saw it. DBA at any range out to 150 yards.
