That's a nice looking rifle Bat. But I think I got a case of black rifle fever. When I was handling them tactical rifles, I really liked them for some reason. Mossberg sells a Tactical 22 that looks like an AR-15. I read the reviews and it said they worked fine, but were all plastic other then the barrel and bolt. Polymer.. not plastic. And I guess that is the future in rifles. So I might have to go look at one of them.

Sheridan.. my friend has that rifle. And YES!! it is really an accurate and smooth shooting rifle. Just as fast as you want to fire it goes off.

In the gun cabinet somewhere is an old Springfield semi auto that I think looks identical to that one. That was my first rifle. Then I have a Springfield bolt action 22. A big long old devil. And the sights broke off it somewhere along the line. I gave away a Sears .22 single shot bolt rifle, very accurate and safe. I gave that to a kid that had no dad, and I used to take him small game hunting. He always carried that little single shot. So after talking to his mother .. I told him to take it home with him. And I still have a Remington Fieldmaster pump rifle. So the next .22 will be just for fun. Like my .22 cowboy action nine shot Italian revolver (my brother borrowed and still has). Lots of fun to draw and shoot. But its not the most accurate revolver I ever shot. Then I have three other .22 handguns for plinking and fun. So I wanted the rifle for just having fun with. That rifle you posted looks like a serious hunting rifle. If I get a lever gun, I want to put a large loop lever on it.
