Still have it and it has gone threw a few scopes with tip off mounts way back then. Since then I use only the iron sights and if fact no longer have a scope or mount for that gun.

That old timer is my favorite for sure in the .22 Semi class. I have had quite a few other semi's over the years and now only have the Browning and a stock Ruger 10-22



I have had at different time a Mossberg with the fold down Bakelite handle, a Marlin 60, AR 7 take down.
