A potload of them. 25 at last count, ranging from pistols to target rifles. All get used occasionally, but the most used are a 5.5" Buckmark HB Field model with an Ultradot, a 10-22 with a Kimber fluted SS barrel and Hogue stock, and my silhouette rifle which is a Kimber M82C SS Classic. The most fun are probably the Buckmark, a Win 9422 and a Walther G-22. The oddest might be the Kintrek bullpup. No 17RFs, and only one 22WMR - a CZ American.
No true hunter has no rimfire's. My love of shooting stems from a Winchester 67 that unfortunately someone in 1981 needed more than I did. To this day I would recognize that rifle and still dream of hunting with it. As you can see below it sparked an insatiable desire for rimfires
6 10/22's- 1 carbine, 1 DSP, and 4 as far from stock as you can get (one in 17M2)
Marlin model 20
10" and 23" Contender barrels
Rossi Gallery model
Mossberg 144
Noble 275 lever action (mention action due to the oddity of the brand)
Glenfield model 60
Norinco ATD
Stevens 416
Stevens model 15 (this is the training gun and proudly wears the name of the kids who it taught to shoot written on it)
Savage 72
2 Savage 93R17's
Winchester 190
Charter Arms AR-7
Charter Arms Explorer
2 Ruger Mark II's
Ruger Single Six (Three screw)
Stoeger Luger
I am about halfway to enough, just 20 or so more and I can die happy
And luckily I have 2 kids to help make sure they are used and my ammo doesn't expire ( I know ammo doesn't but they just want to make sure).
Ruger 10/22 (1984)
Ruger MKII Gov. Mod.
Mossberg 802 Plinkster
Savage MKII FV
Savage 93R17 GV
NEF Sportster 17HMR
Haven't decided what's next yet. :confused:
Currently own in order of trigger time:
Ruger 10/22 volquartsen carbon fiber barrel
Remington 597 .17hmr standard barrel
Ruger MKII slab sided 6 7/8"
S&W 317 3" barrel
Beretta 21 bobcat
Only difference in accuracy order is 597 above 10/22

This is my latest incarnation of a Ruger 1022LR. The barrel is a RFC limited edition(#5) Green Mountain fluted stainless steel barrel in a 17.5 inch length. I also have the old VQ Power plus kit in it. I wouldn't buy the entire plus kit again
http://photos.imageevent.com/10mmgary/guns/websize/DSC02718.JPG
In this one you see my 1022magnum with it's older yet less powerful cousin. The 1022magnum is a early 1999 model(single extractor) and is stock except for the VQ extractor an oversized mag release and the Hogue over molded stock.
http://photos.imageevent.com/10mmgary/guns/websize/DSC02722.JPG
Here are a few more. One is my early model 22/45MkII, 40K and counting.The other a stainless steel Ruger a 1022LR with a Ruger lightweight factory polymer stock.

I have a Ruger 77/22 with a Nikon 3x9 scope. This is hands down the finest .22 cal rifle I've owned in my life. Mine is a tack driver. Prairie dogs tremble at it's approach!
I have a Savage bolt action (model number escapes me at the moment) in .17 HMR with a Nikon 3x9 scope. This is an excellent rifle, and is an absolute death ray for prairie dogs!
I also own a Browning lever action .22 with a Weaver scope which my father gave me as a kid. Beautiful rifle, but I can't do as fancy a shootin' with it as I can the Ruger.
Also own and use a Ruger MKIII semi auto pistol with a Millet red dot sight, and a Ruger Single Six revolver. The MKIII goes to the prairie dog fields. The Single Six is new and will make it's first trip soon.

I have a bunch of rimfires, only .22s. I'd say my favourites are:
Suppressed 77/22 with extra magazine modified to shoot shorts. With CCI0056 SS HP LRs I can shoot monkeys in the head to about 50yds, by switching magazines and ammo to CCI Target shorts I can shoot pigeons and rats inside buildings.
http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/1115Ruger_77-22_rat_kit.jpg
This used to be my favourite .22, I can't count the monkeys this has killed. The Boyde's stock is a recent upgrade and it might soon get some use again.
http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/Ruger_10-22_in_Boyde_s_stock.jpg
For pure entertainment and plinking with friends these are the best, both are automatic.
http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/M16_22_rifles.jpg
As far as pistols go, you can't beat a '41. This has an extra barrel that has been shortened and threaded.
http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/S_W_M41_with_can.jpg
A very close second to the '41 is the Marvel conversion for the 1911. Here are the full-size and Commander versions.
http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/1115Marvel_1911_suppressed.jpg
I spend money on .22s because I shoot them allot, especially with friends and new shooters. My next purchase is going to be a .22 conversion for my 210, here are the last 6 to leave the factory with my personal gun on top.

In the area in which I live,the subscribers IP address changes every hour.Even if they traced the address,it would only lead them to the location that provides service to several hundred thousand subscribers.
Access to subscribers names who are using that IP address takes a subpoena.
One of my most prized rimfires is the Remington 541T I use 22 subsonics through it for years with its 24" tube, And the low report and tack driving accuracy has made it a most deadly choice for small vermin! Thousands has fallen to it most subtle bark, :D

About 90% of my rimfire shooting I do with my Anschutz 1411. Next is my 1413 for 3 position matches. Finally, I use an old WW Model 75 sporter for hunter silhouette.
My 12yr old daughter shoots my old Weatherby Mark XII semi-auto. She can really go through the ammo in a hurry with that 10 round magazine. I also mounted a WW Model 69A for her in a Model 75 target stock. She isn't that thrilled with how stiff the bolt action is and the trigger isn't that hot either. I agree with her. Remarkable how kids like self-loading rifles. Just like I did!

Fun from the few I just opened up!
I shoot mostly a Ruger 10/22 w/Shilen .970" Match barrel threaded for Tactical Inovations Suppressor.
I have 2 Winchester 56s in 22 SHORT that are just plain fun to shoot. They have 'match' chambers, the way Winchester did in the 1920s. SHORT ammo engraves the bullets into the throat! Peep on one, other is factory with open sights. There are no better back yard 'porch plinkers',,,just ask Doc.
I have one Winchester 74 in 22 SHORT. I may cut/thread it for the TI can. It has a small corrosion spot from a bug or something about 5" inside the bore from the muzzle, perfect otherwise but the recevier is pitted. Definately a 'CANdidat' for threading !
I also have a Winchester 67, a Winchester 68, and two Winchester 69As with 80A peep sights, grooved receivers and chrome trim, the last 2 of about 8 or 9 I had accumulated.
I HAD a mint Winchester 47 but it was too nice to shoot[?] and I sold it.
I've HAD Winchester 59s, 60A Targets, a third 56 in 22 SHORT [now Doc's], 75 Sporters, and various other stuff.
More later, lunch call just heard from wife.:D
