Well, I only have the one right now, (have had 4 at once before) but that doesn't mean there's any such thing as "too many".
I've whittled down my gun collection here of late.
Had to sell 7 firearms just to raise funds for the Harley Davidson I've always wanted, and finally decided to get.
My field carry .22 is a Winchester 94/22, and my 10/22 is a heavy barreled version.

I only have one, and it's basically like it was when I bought it new from Bass Pro in the late 1980s. Standard wood stock, 18.5" barrel. I've only recently installed an MCarbo trigger spring kit and fiber optic sights. Before that it served me well for 30 years with basic factory sights. It's not an attention-getter, but it shoots about any 22LR well and reliably.

You don't happen to have the model # off the box on this one, do you? I just bought a 10/22 that looks suspiciously like that one, and I'm wondering if I stumbled onto an LVT.

If the barrel profile is heavier than a standard carbine and a little less than 3/4" at the muzzle, it's an LVT.
 
That's an LVT, even if they don't call it that. I like that they blackened the bolt on that one. I hate the polished bolts and usually either replace or bead blast them and cold blue.
 
My favorite set up is ...
Factory Walnut Stock ... sporter is nice but nicely figured black walnut carbine will do !
My only add on is a leather sling on detachable swivels to carry over my shoulder !
When my eyes got old I mounted a steel tubed Weaver K4 Scope (1967) vintage .
That's All Folks !

That sounds like a really nice setup. Classic.
 
One is plenty, 2, not so much.
Originally purchased one to build a target model that was too spendy for my taste, and got it done less expensively than a real one. That said, it wouldn't shoot with my customized Marlin 60s.
So, it sits around.

My good friend gave me the one on top, Clark 20 inch barrel and Simmons 8 X 34 scope but no trigger work. It also has a Hogue Over Molded Stock.

I wanted it for Steel Challenge shooting and it's much too heavy for that so talking to friends, some donated parts. One gave me a Tactical Solutions barrel and Glacier Stock. I bought a BX trigger for it ( disappointed ) and had an old trigger group that I did the action on 15 years ago and it is much better.

BX is 3 pounds and my trigger is 1.8 pounds as measured on my Lyman Digital Scale.

The funny part is now I'm building a new receiver and the gun will be the same as # 1.

I measured the muzzle this morning. If it’s a little less than 3/4”, it’s VERY little less. But I guess I have an LVT.
