Yep, I agree 100%. And as asked by 7mmwsm - are you sure it was a stag? I've had hinds do this kind of behaviour but never had a stag do it to me at this time of the year. Not to say they...

I've had both. both pretty agricultural but more than adequate for the job. Toz magazines are hard to come by. Avoid the Polytech and Outdoor Arms branded JW-15s.

I have a single shot TOZ .22 and have found it a great rifle. Reliably accurate enough for bunnies to reasonable range. Trigger isn't flash but quite usable and every bit as good as the Norinco I had.

Iv had an old USSR made toz (cock on closing) for perhaps 13 years. (to3 17-03 I think?) I really like it. Its lightweight, has dual extractors & very strong firing pin spring = super reliability....

They're both generally very accurate rifles. The JW15 is a copy of the Brno .22 action and can be a little roughly finished as mentioned by BP above. I prefer the Toz myself.
