I have a couple simmons 22 mags that I like. I was going to get the 83Ts but then I got the handirifle in .223 instead. It was $198 with tax for the synthetic superlight version. Anyway, I had already bought the 22mag scope so I will try it on the .223. I am not shoot very long range anyway. I already have a 10/22 so I didn' t really need a 22 mag, but I had no small cal centerfire..
