The 572 was my first rifle, a present under the Christmas Tree when I was, I think 9 years old. Once a week my mom would take me to the local gun shop to pick up a brick of .22's. Sure shot the heck out of that gun off the back porch (we had about 10 acres of woods behind the house) When I was older and smarter, I traded it for some other gun, don't remember what. I still kick myself for doing so. I have often thought about buying another, but it wouldn't be the same. They ain't target guns, but their not supposed to be. They are great all around hunting and plinking guns. I'll bet you are going to like yours.
