I've got one from 1971, got it for my 13th birthday. It outshoots my 10/22 very badly. I wish it was more reliable, but I've killed an awful lot of critters with it.
It thrives best on CCI MiniMags, and won't feed anything with a flattish nose, but it's a pretty good shooter. The trigger has been used enough to beat out the 10/22 with a Power Custom sear...
No, it won't shoot with my CZ 455 or 452, but it's a good old gun. Mine's old enough to have the 18 shot magazine.
Since it was the first gun that was "mine", I reckon I'll keep it till I die.
