It was a Stevens single shot. Model 44 I believe, maybe a Favorite, I'm not up on the Stevens models that well. Grandpa shot a few chucks with it but my Dad used it more on chucks than Grandpa. Grandpa only shot them if he had time and they were a problem for him. Dad, being young then, was more into hunting and more actively went after chucks as chores permitted. Dad said it was much more effective than the Winchester 67, 22 LR he used. I do have that 67 and it's the one on which I learned to shoot.
For no other reason than nostalgia, if an ammo company made a run of 25 Rimfire, I'd buy a case or two and a Stevens single shot just to connect with the past a little.
