Good stuff @timattalon interesting. Shows how long I've been out of the game so to speak. I'm going to look it up right now!!
edit: quite nice looking 22's. The steel action jobbies generally get good write ups. Some of the images of them have quite nice stocks and look pretty good. Like you said though, not many around here.
Sounds like a few in the US, they made them for longer than the Ruger.
