I like my Henry 001 for casual plinking, and I like the Ruger 10/22 with Techsights that I hope to use for Appleseed events. But my favorite .22LR still is one I don't have any more. My Dad gave me a used Remington 512 for Christmas when I was fifteen, when we couldn't afford it, because he knew my love for firearms. I kept it for years, and learned a lot about shooting by using it. It was stolen when we shipped our household goods to storage and I have never been able to replace it. I kept the bolt for a long while, hoping it would somehow attract the rest of the rifle back to me. I occasionally see a 512 at a gun show, or on the Internet, but I haven't replaced my first one.
