I really just looking at it as a regular rifle that I can enjoy, definitely not interested as a collectible.
I put a deposit on it (I paid $400) and I'm happy with that. It really is in excellent shape.
Ill probably pick up one of those elevator peep sights to replace the 3/8" dovetail sight on the barrel but I don't think it will ever see a scope.

Thanks all.

ps - anybody know of a "Rimfires Anonymous" group out there?
It seems like I can't go a month without buying another.
