Kragman,

I've had two of them, both in 22 Magnum, loved the round as it extended the range I could shoot ground squirrels by about 50 yards.

First one was the standard classic looking version; I benched it at 100 yards and it would keep 5 shots in under one inch, often 3/4 inch (with Winchester 40 grain HP's). Hunted it, loved the rifle and the round. In a fit of stupidity, I sold it to buy the new Ruger bolt-action 22 Hornet, but the reviews I read had around 1 1/2 inches as the best the Hornet would group. So I dropped that idea.

Second one was the Target version, laminated stock, heavy barrel, grey stainless finish. This was about 8 years later, I figured if the standard version shot so well this heavy barrelled/laminated stock version would shoot lights out. It did not, I dinked with it and finally sold it back to the dealer.

Best of luck with your rifle, hope it shoots as well as my first one,

Jerry
