I love the old Mossberg rimfire rifles. I have my Dad's old 146B that he took on the bus to hunt the LA River prior to WWII, and I just bought a 46M. These are full-sized rifles with good walnut stocks and are usually tackdrivers. My Dad used to shoot lizards in the head with that 146B's peep sight just to show off while w were rabbot hunting.
�That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.� George Orwell
