[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 410483, member: 4964"] WOW what a loaded question. That is almost like asking what your favorite color is. I have many .22s from the marlin 39A to Benchrest rigs. I shot BR a little and have a sporter and 10.5# gun built on the Sako action. Both have Lilja bbl and Stith stocks. I have a 17m2 Lilja as well. I LOVE the fact I can change the bbls out as I see fit. I can turn my sporter BR rig into one nasty squirrel gun with the HM2 barrel. I just change out the stock and barrel and off to the woods we go. There are MANY manufacturers that make an incredible .22. check out rimfirecentral.com as well as benchrest.com. I bought my first BR rig used and would never look back. Tim Mcwhorter built it when he was doing rimfire guns. Although I don't have the money for the matches anymore, it sure is fun to shoot.
