I'd have to say my favorite bolt action is the savage model 19 NRA, my favorite semi auto is the Remington model 550. My favorite single shot would be the stevens crackshot.
My favorite in my Ruger 10-22. I have yet to see any 22 rifle I don't like. My son collects the Mossberg 320/340 series and has 3 so far. Just picked up a model 320b yesterday.
I have seven Mossbergs so far. Love them! Picked up my own 320b recently, and it's a great little shooter. But my favorite Mossy is my M42M, with full Mannlicher stock, and Marbles-Goss aperture target rear sight and globe front sight. Scary accurate up to 50 yards. Who needs a scope?
I'd have to say I'm on the side of whatever happens to be in my hand at the moment. This is the extent of my 22 rimfire rifle collection. Don't really have anything in particular I have my sights on to add just yet but I'm sure I'll find something soon. From Top to Bottom
Marlin 25M
Mossberg 151M (learned to shoot on this one)
Ruger 10/22
Henry H001T
Winchester 1906
Henry MiniBolt (use this one to teach all the yungins)
Two Marlin 60's
Stevens 87B which is a hoot
Marlin 25
Henry Golden Boy
Ruger 10/22
My favorite would be hard to choose between the stainless Marlin 60 and the Henry but I'd probably go with the Henry. My least favorite is the Ruger which hasn't been fired in years.
Browning A-Bolt in .22LR. Bolt as smooth as glass, big rifle feel with a nice trigger, fit and finish that Browning is known for. ( great accuracy and a detachable mag )
I bought a Henry lever gun in .22 long after I sold an older Remington 597 with the scope taken off (a decent Bushnell with good glass). Both guns will take a scope, but a lever gun will shoot any .22 including shorts since the cycling of shells is manual and not by blowback. For pests and to reduce noise in a town, a CCI .22 short is handy to have around, especially in a revolver.
I was at a gun show several yrs. ago. Got there when the doors opened. Made a quick round and found this puppy. Anschutz topped with a 2x7 Leupold with double set trigger.
By far the best thing Ive ever shot in the .22 cal.
My most accurate (so far) is my 513T Matchmaster. Three shot cloverleaf at 50 yd. I just bought, but have not scoped/shot yet, a CZ 452 American. I will need to see what it can do.
Favorite, or most fun, either of my two Nylon 66 rifles. Very accurate for a plastic stocked rifle. Surprisingly accurate as a matter of fact.
This really surprises me that your 10/22 outshoots the CZ. Do you have any modifications to either of them. The trigger on the CZ needs a little "smoozing"from the factory, but after that they are usually great shooters.
Both are straight from the factory with no modifications. The 455 had to go back after the first 10 shots. No rounds after that would fire. Turns out the barrel was loose. It is held in place by two screws and both were loose from the factory.
Both guns have a Nikon 3-9X40 scope and at 50 yards I can put five CCI standard rounds under a dime with the 10-22. The best I've been able to do with the 455 is about a quarter size group and that's not very often.
Nothing is more fun than shooting a slide action .22. Winchester 1906 or the later Model 62. Both are very similiar in operation of course. The fun and safety of the exposed hameer, the slide, it is all fun when in the gravel pit shooting tin cans.
