Thanks guys.
BS...I've shot so few.22's through mine since I purchased it that I really cannot tell you what it likes best.
I bought it in the mid 70's for a target gun. Around the same time I also purchased a octangular-barreled Contender pistol (with octangular Lobo scope) and a S&W .22 Kit Gun in stainless steel (mod.17?).
The S&W became my knock about gun and the Contender became my target pistol. The Diamondback has remained in the gun safe all these years.
I don't want to sell it or any of my other guns.
Every time I let one go I am later astounded by increasing value.
And, you cant' get guns without ugly-looking warnings carved into them anymore.
I plan to shoot the Diamondback. It is a beautiful gun.
