Great fun guns with accuracy too boot. Thay even sound like the Winnie when working the action, nostalgia at it's best. George Orwell was a Prophet, not a novelist.

Now that Taurus owns the rights to build this gun, quality might be better and it might be worth a second look. I have a model 90 and a model 62A and I love them. Stupidity is contagious!!
