The only other rimfire I ever really loved was this 70+ year old single-shot bolt-action Winchester (I think it was a Winchester). It took two separate motions to ready it to fire (cycle bolt, then cock hammer), but the trigger was so smooth and soft that you couldn't even pull off-target, and the barrel was nice and long. Great parallax. You'd constantly surprise yourself with how well you could bean targets with just iron sights.
