I don't understand all these stories about bad accuracy, I've never seen another .22LR that will outperform it in a rabbit shooting scenario. Yeah maybe on a bench at a range, but out on the job doing fast shots from standing position I doubt any alleged marginal increase in accuracy from another rifle would make a practical difference.

Having it for over 30 years is most likely the difference......
