Just feeling chuffed. Went to a tag sale yesterday where they had a .22 for sale. And I really ought to have bought it as it was only $55. So today went back as soon as it opened , and bought it for 20% off.
If I had had a good look at the inside of the barrel. I might have passed on it. It had what was possibly grease in the barrel, but after I ran a couple of swabs thru it, it looked good.
I am sure my grandson will appreciate it. I had the same model when I was a bit younger than him.
Nice buy. I'm rather fond of bolt actions. Especially with a nice scope
on top. Old eyes and glasses don't work the best with iron sights.

Looks like they made a few variants too...
