Favorite .22 rifle: Ballard Pacific which someone re-barreled to .22.
It shoots too. 100 yards.
Favorite .22 handgun: Pre-War Colt Officer's Model Target.

Our club gun show in March, a fellow had one of the heavy Martini BSA 12/15 .22 target rifles at a good price, complete with it's original target sights and inserts in the brass tube inletted in the forearn, ($750.). Not drilled and tapped for blocks though, I didn't buy it just because it wasn't. Yes, now I regret it.
Very much like this one.

Probably an American 180. Load 177 rounds in the drum on top of the gun and let er rip! At 1000 rounds per minute it was a little buzz saw! Shot a scrub 3" tree off with one burst!!!
This is a $20 junk M-510 I bought in a pawn shop for the parts, barrel had a dirt dobber nest built by a wasp into the muzzle that had eaten up about 2"of the muzzle area. So took it down, cleaned it up, removed the barrel, cut it to 16.25" , drilled & tapped the barrel for two 541 bases, threaded it and recessed target crowned it on my lathe. Added a center fire Redfield Scope. Attached a registered suppressor and as normal, luck is way better than ability, it can shoot pine cones on my pond at 200 with PMC Target ammo. Death on turtles. Now that is a lot of fun for a $20 Jackson in anyone's book..

My wife's "funnest" .22 rifle is a Mauser trainer from WWII with an original Fecker 4-power scope with very fine wire cross-hairs. She has won many 200 meter matches with this rifle.
My "funnest" is a Vickers Mark 1(a really cool modification of the Martini Cadet type rifle) I, too, have won my club's 200-meter match using this rifle many times. It is just crazy accurate

Winchester 61 and a S&W mp 22-15. Tough choice
Ithaca Model 49 "Saddlegun" single shot. My first non-BB gun. Looks like a lever action repeater, but it's really a Martini like falling block.
