    Totally Sick of Semi-Auto .22s

    No more bloody semi-auto .22s for me. From now on it is bolt-actions all the way!
    I even brought a single shot .22 the other day after my old POS Stirling model 20p turned 3 shot auto on me.
    Yeah the bloody thing started firing 3 shot automatic strings and I NEVER played round with the trigger or action since I brought it new years ago.

    Damn finiky .22 semi autos:
    Had a Marlin Papoose that would stovepipe every 3 to 5 shots with every brand of ammo.
    Another Marlin, this time a Model 60 that was deadly accurate but again I always had at least one ejection problem per 14 rounds (this was before the magazine limit).
    Owned an old Browning SA20, that would only work with CCI mini-mags, nothing else would cycle the action, especially not subsonics.
    The only semi auto I owned that cycled every type of ammo was a Ruger 10/22....that thing even cycled subsonics reliably. Yep it was great except for one thing...accuracy would be 'rabbit size' goups at 50m.

    Enough! I want reliablity AND accuracy...welcome my new single shot .22 bolt action...I await your arrivial with open arms.
