Sweet. I picked up a Savage 322 a year or two ago. It was marked @ $125. The ejector didn't work but it was filthy and needed a real cleaning. Snatched it up, took it home, cleaned it well. And low and behold it functioned perfectly and the bore was excellent!
I bought it for the same reasons you did, I can load it for less than 22 lr ammo costs.
I wish I could find some of these for $125, I'd buy every one I could find. Good score.
