Very little recoil, max performance, it is a legend.

Brass is it's weakness, quality of available brass is ok, stock up .....

Enjoy ........ smile


Agreed.

A lot of nostalgia...………..a lot of "tear critters in half"...…….as much potential for accuracy as anything else.

I only own 2 of them. But my 77V tang safety is the most accurate factory gun I ever owned. 52 gr Hornady BTHPM at 4080 fps for the money shots. 55 gr Ballistic Tips 100 fps faster to tear groundhogs in two. Never shot paper beyond 500m with it. But, even with, likewise a 26" barrel, the .22-.250 ain't a Swift.

Just a cool as heck gun to shoot.
