the better .22?

I know that in the world of .22s there isnt much that separates the great from the average and dependable, but if you were to choose one last .22 to take to the grave, or maybe just on an afternoon squirrel adventure...which would it be?

rem? marlin? winchester?

i hear LOTS of good things with the Ruger 10/22, however i've never shot one less owned one. i have owned several Marlins and never had a bad one. my last one is a Marlin bolt action and it's a tack driver.

Without a doubt, Anschutz! I bought one new in 1973, and i plan to take it to my grave! It just keeps on, keeping on!

Gotta agree with Drilling...But I couldn't afford one, so I did the next best thing...A few years ago Remington made a special run of 541s in curly maple, being a flintlock shooter, and since curly maple was the preferred wood back in the 1700s, I had to have one...

I put a Luepold 3x9x33 Compact scope on it, had it parallex adjusted to 75 yards, and it will group inside of a dime at 50 yards...

I grew up a squirrel hunter, if I had a had this, probably would have had many, many tickets from the Warden...

Anschutz,Kimber, WInchester 52and Remington 541 in that order

Well I would go with the Win 75, but I would have to beat it out of my fathers hands so I'll just stick with my Marlin.

it'd be a toss up between my volquartzen 10/22 and my anchutz

ive always shot the marlin 39A with a peep sight, and now with a 4power scope and at 30 yards i put quarter sizedgroups in the 10x ring with a box of rem thunderbolts(the cheap-os)

but ive also got a remiongton model 550-I with the good mossberg-style iron sights that ive fallen in love with-i guess im just uneducated in the .22 department

I don't know a whole lot about .22's, but I can tell you that I like my Savage Mark II better than my Ruger 10/22.
