I own a Remington 552, a restored 241 (nice}, a NIB 490, two of the Weatherbys and several other discontinued models. I really enjoy them all but one of my favorites is the Browning BAR .22. They are no longer made, but you can find them. They are an adult sized rifle. There are about four variations. I had three but sold two. The one I kept is a pistol grip model with the typical Browning high gloss finish. I think it looks great and feels very good. Having mentioned the BAR, for a reasonably priced, high quality .22 auto-loader, it is tough to do better than one of the little Brownings. I gave one to my wife many years ago and we will never sell it!
