Kodiak, I agree I can cycle my .22 with my left thumb as fast as my buddies can correctly....my scoped 22-250, is by all means a single shot though[&:] I'll be honest, I've never needed the second shot, I've only shot paper and a couple coyotes and squirrels with it...they all either do down on the spot, or I completely missed and they were gone so fast a AK47 wouldn't have been any use.
