Much as I like my 10/22, my fave is a CZ 452 American shooting subsonics through a Silencerco Sparrow. It’s about as quiet as you can get. I smile every time I shoot it.

I’m not into the quiet thing but I do have a 452 American. I’ve also got a Remington 521-T, Ruger 77-22, 10-22 match, Browning 22 Auto, and a JP match upper that I can put on my match AR lower. Might be a few pistols and a couple more rifles that don’t come to mind just now, but that CZ is amazing! To steal a phrase: “Only accurate rifles are interesting!” The CZ is very interesting! I’ve sold several others that were nice, like a 9422. I couldn’t see well enough to shoot open sights any more and a scope just doesn’t look right on a Winchester lever action. Wasn’t fun anymore, I let it be someone else’s favorite rifle.

Haven't shot any Ruger 10/22 in many years.

Maybe it is finally time to buy one?
That is, if the OEM mags run reliably :scrutiny: with US-made or Herter's ammo.

10/22 is one of the most reliable .22lr's that I know of. Many are and many aren't. In my experience the 10/22 is one of the ones that just goes bang save for the occasional dud. I confess I hardly clean mine and they just run with OEM mags, even pro mags that I swore off years ago. The only pro mag I will actually use.

I've always had good luck with every one I've had being accurate, reliable and inexpensive.

Not a named S&W unless you say Model 17 is a name.

More fun shooting High-Standard !
 
Had alot of fun with my 10" bull barreled browning Buck Mark used to hit clay pigeons at 100 yds with it, don't have it any more or the 2 heratige pistols with 22mag cylinders, now I have 2 m60 marlins that I use out to 100 yds. Mostly shoot center fire rifles these days.
 
Poll is stacked with 22lr and lacking on other options.
1911s in 45 or 10mm is most fun.

Can't do it...me or my son's own 4, 22cal guns and they are ALL great fun to shoot.
1022, Ruger Wrangler, S&W Victory and Henry lever..the most fun is the one I'm shooting

While I voted to the Ruger MK series pistols, I would have had a difficult time if there had also been a S&W 15-22 on the list. That little reifle is a blast, and the 15-22 and the MK pistols are frequent companions at the range.
 
I think I have 11 from the list, several of some of them, I don’t pick favorites but I do use some more than others.
 
My Vote isn't for a 22lr or the Ruger 10/22 which would be my vote BUT for me the answer to your question is my Ruger PC Carbine 9mm. That rifle is accurate, no recoil, "powerful" more so than 22lr anyways and the 31 round Glock mags never seem to end. In today's climate my 9mm isn't getting shot at all and my shooting is at animals I intend to eat or a bolt action 22lr my nephew is learning on.
 
Currently I have a S&W 617 4”, a S&W 17 8 3/8”a Colt Frontier a Henry GB a Ruger 77-22 a Marlin 2000L and a Cooper model 36. The Marlin and the Cooper are extremely accurate. If I could only have one of these fine guns it would be the Cooper I inherited from my dad.
 
I put something else, and it could be a couple, things, ruger precision rimfire, savage btvs, etc. But the one that popped to mind for me when I read the question was the Beretta U22 Neos, it looks cool, is easy to load and it is accurate. You can run a red dot, or laser or scope on it if you want. When we would take the scouts out to shoot we took a lot of 22s, including a 10/22, they liked them all, but they seemed to gravitate to the "spray and pray" handgun with the red dot on it.

I've used the same phrase to describe shooting a suppressed .22. The only question for me is which suppressed .22 I'm going to love on any given day. My 10/22 is always a strong contender, but some days, I'm just in the mood for a bolt gun or a pistol.
 
I voted other. I just bought my first 10/22 (actually a T/CR22, but basically the same gun) and it lots of fun.

However, I'd have to give the "most fun" nod to my S&W 622. I bought it brand new at the Rod & Gun Club on Yokota Air Base in 1992. It's had countless thousands of rounds through it and never fails to make me smile! It's crazy accurate, very reliable, comfortable to shoot and just plain fun. For gun from way back in the 1990s, its surprising that it came from the factory with the ability to accept a barrel adapter to work as a suppressor host. I recently learned about the Weaver rail for it, so I had the old girl drilled and tapped, and added a Holosun dot sight, bringing it into the current decade. I know it's not a common gun, especially compared to the 10/22s and Ruger pistols, but it remains one of my top 3 favorite guns.

Sorry for the crap picture. Ruger Charger with brace, Vortex Sparc AR and Franklin BFS binary trigger.
Have a Tacsol Aeris suppressor in jail that will probably live on it.

I’m not voting because it is going to turn into a “what’s the best hamburger” poll. When the local alt weekly used to run those, McDonalds would win, because there were enough people that had never had anything else that all the great alternatives were swamped. My vote, if it were on the list? “Whatever gun you have when you take your kids or grandkids shooting!”

By the way, looking back on my post is seems a trifle curmudgeonly. I actually really enjoy everyone’s posts on their favorites and there are plenty of non-mainstream opinions. I particularly like the Remington 241.
 
I went with the Ruger Mk series even though I have more 10/22s than Ruger 22 pistols. I really enjoy shooting the pistols, especially if there are swinging/moving targets involved.
 
There are a surprising number of Rugers that fit this thread. If it were opened up to more calibers Ruger still is in the mix in a bunch of different ways. The more I think of it, there are no Ruger guns that I would not like to shoot a time or two. ARs are popular and they have them. Single shots are fun and Ruger makes arguably the best. DA revolvers, bolt rifles, semiauto handguns, SA revolvers, now lever guns are coming back... the only thing missing from the Ruger lineup is a decent shotgun. Red labels were nice but they were reportedly problematic and got dropped.
 
I openly admit I’m beyond biased on this one. My favorite 22 is just an an old Arminius HW7. It was my grandfathers. Whenever I shoot it, I feel like he’s there with me. It’s as close as I can be to him for now. I’d choose that 22 over any 22 ever made. Those who had a Superman in their life will understand.
 
None of the above.

Skydiving. Jumped five times as a college kid. Sorry, but I'm messed up.

Shooting is extremely relaxing and requires concentration. Trouble is my dog is scared when she hears it. Even if I go to a range away from home, she smells the nitrates on me and is scared (her previous owner shot her and her brother with a pellet gun),
