I was just shooting mine today!!  ;D ;D ;D You will LOVE IT!!!

 You going to scope it? If so I will recomend a paralax adj scope. It really makes a difference with the rimfires as most scopes are intended for centerfires and have there paralax set for 100 yards. You also dont need to break the bank. Thats coming form a guy who only recomends Leupold scopes for centerfires!! I picked up a new Simmons last season and love it!! 4X12X40 AO, it was under 100 bucks.

 Personally, I'm getting ready for the end of Deer season and the start of my shooting tree rats!!!! CB Longs shoot about an inch @ 25yards. RWS shorts about half that and SGB long rifles touching at 50yards. WITH the LIMBSAVER barrel de-resonator... Check out the threads on it, it REALLY worked well for me!!!

 I am the biggest suspect of such things... Its almost like I didn't WANT it to work... but it did!!!

Now I have about 6 of them on various calibers/barrels!!!  ::) ::) ;D
