I bought one new in 1961, I was 16, paid $70 if I remember correctly...I shot it so much that I wore out the sear and hammer and replaced them myself about 15 years ago...I've killed a few tractor trailer loads of squirrels with it...

I know a  lot of people love them. Too each his own. If you want to shoot shorts, longs & long rifles in a semiauto and even mix them up in the magazine this gun will do it. I don't think too many people have that need.

I had one & didn't care for it. First off I personally don't like the charging handle on the left side of the gun. It's easy to get your thumb in the wrong place and get hit by it.  I know you are safe if you hold the gun on the proper part of the forend but if you choke up on it at all you are at risk. It layed by wifes thumb open pretty good out at the range one day. Also the one I had jammed a lot more than it should.

I got rid of it and bought another 10-22

Mine has never jammed on me yet..What i like best about mine aside from the ability to fire S-L-or LR is the fact that it shoots where I POINT it. makes it a great snapshooter for me. ;)
