A gun show I went to last weekend had a Coast to Coast 285 22 auto in pristine condition. After some google research I discovered its a private labeled Savage/Stevens/Springfield 7J. Most of the sites I found seemed to suggest the the Savage 7J was not a good little 22 as they tended to frequently jam - some even referred to it as the "Jammomattic." This 22 looks brand new but if it was a frequent jammer then that might explain the condition. Anyone have any experience with the Savage 7J?

The following link is a list of private label "hardware store" Savages (and a few other brands) I came across in my search:
