Although I don't have one (yet), the CZ's always get my heart pumping. A good friend has a Tikka and swears by it.

without telling you witch one , since I own none of the 3
if you want a 100 year 22lr that gets used a lot
you might want to see who will sell you a spare magazines , extractors ,firing pins , and springs.
call each manufacturer and ask about parts

I have a couple of brand new in the box, unfired Marlin 25N's. That is as classic as they get. These even come with a scope included in the box. I could spare one if it is of interest.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I wouldn't buy a plastic gun to become a "special" hand me down rifle. So CZ is the only choice if you're limiting us to those three choices.
What's wrong with a lever gun? Or even a super nice semi auto like a Browning? Is there some reason you have to hurry to buy it? Exactly. I wouldn't want to inherit an ugly plastic gun as a family heirloom.

If I were looking for a heirloom and willing to spend the coin it would be a Lithgow. He was great in 3rd Rock From the Sun

I gotta ask, why does a heirloom have to be super fancy and expensive? Good question

I gotta ask, why does a heirloom have to be super fancy and expensive? I'm not so sure it has to be any of those things. I've got a old cooey 22 that I learned how to shoot with as a youngster that was my dad's and it will be passed on down when the time comes along with his husqvarna 30-06 and Parker Hale 243. If I were to venture a guess I'd say the op is just starting a gun collection and would rather buy quality then quantity. Imo a heirloom firearm should have some history and experience. New guns just take a while longer to get the stories and tales but with use it will come.

I gotta ask, why does a heirloom have to be super fancy and expensive? He wants a nice gun to hand down and be used a lot by generations to come. A cheap gun ain't that. Sure I got a few sentimental guns passed down by my dad, brother etc... but they set in the safe and don't get used because I have better options. He wants one they will love to use as well as the sentimental value. At least that is what I gathered from his two threads on it.

My dad has a 10/22, it's beat to, well it's beat up but its my dad's. Someday hopefully in the distant future I will likely inherit it and I hope to use it often. It's special to me because for the last 40+ years it was his and I remember him using it. I have a beretta 391 and a weatherby mark v, these are my guns, I use them almost exclusively and I hold them both in high esteem. They aren't particularly fancy but they're mine and hopefully because of that and due to the build quality someday my kids and grandkids will want them.

Its to bad winchester and remington went tits up. Both have made some truly fine firearms. When I was a kid I didnt really know anybody with what we call a lot of guns today. Most families had 4-5 . A few had twice that. Cheap guns were what sold best. Remington started stamping parts and reduced their cost a bunch. Winchester had to do the same to compete. a look at the remington stock trigger on a 700 and it should not surprise anybody its prone to failure. Guns today have plastic stocks. Like the classic cars of the 50-60's I would be looking at something built in the days of craftmanship. I know plastic stocks are quality. They just got no heart.

True heirloom, how about one of these. Remington nylon 12 I admit I've never cared for these. Someone previously mentioned they like shorter barrels in .22 from a performance standpoint, I can agree with that but I enjoy how quiet the long barrels are. When it comes to accuracy can a older, high quality .22 keep up with the modern offerings?

CZ I had one of the trainers. I has great open sights and is able to mount a scope to. I gave it to my brother. I now have a 452 FS. Same great sights and a good scope. It shoots great. If I miss it is my fault. Get the Lux model if you want something a little fancier to hand down. I'm going to give my 452 to my boy. I'm sure it will outlast both of us. I shot two squirrels over 180 yards off with it one day. both head shots from and rest. I got an AHKA sling to fit the European sling mounts. It has rubber stitching on the bottom - won't slip off your shoulder. You'll have to find the right rings for it. I found a Meopta scope that had European rings with it that happened to fit it. This scope has a range finder in it that just happens to be the size of a squirrel so far shots are more fun. I also have a custom 527 in 19 Badger that is amazingly accurate. Good rifles.
Just passin through

an heirloom doesn't need to be fancy or expensive , well made is good
in my family the only gun was a M37 12ga , it was well used , it was grandpas only gun for 61 years it did everything needed at the farm if it was ideal or not.
my uncle has it now.
it didn't even have the original barrel a different uncle now passed borrowed it to go rabbit hunting when he was younger and got a muzzle full of snow and ruptured the end of the barrel and had to buy a replacement.
the best heirlooms are the ones you use that fit your need
if you want it to be an heirloom , keeping it serviceable a long time is necessary. quality can get you part way there but springs even quality have a life span.

The Winchester 52 could. As well as the Anshutz. Remington had a few. CZ of all years held a good reputation even if fit and finish wasn't.
I've always liked the nylons though I must admit I'd probably stash it away for light use only as replacement parts are getting scarce.
I still regret letting one get away. The 52 is hands down the greatest 22 of all time in imo.

Yesterday you all had me buying cast iron skillets. Today it's rimfire rifles. Expensive place to hang out. not so bad , you can buy lodge and with a bit of work have Griswold smooth cooking surface likewise you could buy a 10/22 and a some spare guide rods , springs, extractors , trigger springs and parts and keep that running for a few lifetimes. I live my Mossberg 44US-D but parts even of a very common military trainer built very well are getting harder to find so I take the antiques out to play on nice days for a little enjoyment and I grab a TOOL of a 22lr when there is work to be done. go parts shopping for springs and firing pins when you look at old 22s , the death of them is in small parts availability not the quality of the machining or steel. like Wolfdog's post , a million dollar piece of artillery down for lack of a guy to work on it or parts.

Are the Kimber or Cooper 22s still around? Cooper does for about 4k. Double the price of other high end .22s seems ridiculous
