That is one cool looking weapon and it looks like you would have a ton of fun with it. I would have a serious problem with having enough ammunition. I learned many moons ago while hunting jack rabbits in the desert south of Boise... One rabbit and an auto 22 was not necessarily the best thing for me. I was a kid so you can work out the rest of that story.

Up here we do not have the 'jack rabbit' but we have another very popular vermine... the Palouse ground squirrel....



For this little vermine I use to shoot a good old fashioned 22LR... then I decided to go bigtime after this guy.... so...



Picked up a Savage 17 HMR so I could extend those shots even longer. That little 17 will turn those ground squirrels inside out. And as you can see from my first outing with the rifle and the Leupold scope - things have changed and I mounted a Mueller 4.5x14-40AO on it.

And then last year because the price of 17 HMR ammo was running a-muck, I decide to go back to the 22 LR and since i liked the Savage so much i went after another one...



These are a ton of fun... but I am thinking maybe I am old enough to handle a Auto and that one of yours looks FUN...
