I love shooting my rimfires but I also enjoy my centerfires. First firearm I ever shot was a friend's 10/22. My very first firearm purchase was my own 10/22. Still own it and added more rimfires since then. Currently I'm in the hunt for a Ruger Bearcat and a Mk IV Hunter.USMC 1985-93 0331/32 & 0341

I really came to enjoy rimfire during the covid-crisis ammo shortage.
With ammo spiking, I gravitated towards 22 LR. I already had a nice 22 pistol(SW model 41) and added a cz 457...and soon after a 10/22, and then last a Kidd 22. Also during that time, I picked up a 22 AR upper to stick on my AR pistol. (my 22 glock slide from advantage arms sits deep in the closet, bc I think it sucks ***).
I find long distance 22 shooting very enjoyable. And my 22s are my most accurate guns by far. When the conditions are right, with a 22 rifle can you can a hit a sub MOA group (sub 1 inch at 100 yards) if the stars are aligned (conditions/gun/ammo/you). Its a slippery slope though, because, like other gun categories (and like other hobbies), you soon find yourself spending way more than you planned on.
Again, my 22 rifles are my most accurate guns. Add on to that match ammo, and high quality scopes, and you are in business. I have no qualms making expensive upgrades to my 22 rigs, especially with regards to scopes. And don't get me wrong, you don't have to go with the latest night force or Vortex Razor.
Shooting 22 long-distance is righteous fun! Look at all the guys going all out with the Vudoos....I might have to get one of those one day.
One day:

22 is my favorite caliber, but it can't do it all.Comment

I am a rimfire fan! I have no concern about leaving my brass. It's not reloadable and it is relatively small. Ammo is cheap. I still have ammo left over that I bought in the 80s, at 2 cents a round. Something inside me prompted me to buy a lot back then. It is an adequate defense round. I would not want to be shot by someone with a Ruger 10-22 or Single Six. My grandparents owned a cattle ranch and they used to use a High Standard .22 semiauto handgun to kill the cattle. If .22 works on 1200 lb cattle, it will work on a 250 lb man.
I profess I do not use a .22 for self-defense or big game hunting. There is no point when I have centerfire handguns and rifles available.sigpicComment

Hah. I grew up in Simi. My dad got me that Model 67 from someone he worked with at Rockwell. He was at the 'Atomics International' division in the SFV on De Soto at the time. He had worked at Rocketdyne in the late 1950s, shortly after the reactor meltdown (that nobody knew about). He was back up there in the late 1970s and into the 80s (once people were finding out about the meltdown). He bought a Geiger counter and would check his shoes with it in the garage after coming home from work. He usually left his shoes i the garage.When I was 14, my father bought me a used Winchester Model 72 from a work buddy. Dad was a city kid, and knew nothing about guns or rifles. But, he knew that I was in The Scouts, and that I wanted a rifle of my very own. Bolt action, tube magazine, 4x Weaver scope. I'm 65 now, and still have that rifle. Dad been gone now for a long while, and I'll never, ever sell it.
We used to up by Roketdyne in the SIMI hills to shoot it, and would stop at various bars to dumpster dive for cans on the way. Waaaaay too many good memories wrapped up in that $35 rifle.
I can remember being in elementary school when those engine tests would crank up. The teachers often had to stop and wait for the roar to subside so they could continue teaching.
In later years, my friends and I would ride our bikes up into Tapo Canyon with our rifles strapped on the handlebars. We shot acorns out of the oak trees. CCI .22LR was 99 cents per 100 rounds at KMart. Good times.
Sorry for the off topic.
