Thanks, Adam. I'm not a 'black rifle' lover so I tend to gravitate towards the old stuff. They have much more character anyway and they don't all look like they were designed by the same guy! :D

What you needs, ooman, even if you don't realise it yet, is one of these

it's a Russian Izhmash 22 biathlon rifle, available in sporter and target stocks. It's operated by a toggle lock, providing an awesomely fast rate of fire even if you are wearing thick fur mittens. The barrel is hammer forged and match quality: it will group all your rounds in a single ragged hole if you do your part and aren't wheezin' and sneezin' after having just skied umpteen miles.

We have one, and can pop off each of Farmer Giles' 5 waistcoat buttons in under 3 seconds at 50 mards...

Yes, I've seen those and put 10 rnds through one at the club...certainly a fun little gun, and I'd probably get one if i had a spare .22LR slot..

Indeed.

For my 'fun' .22 slot to be filled in the near future, I'm toying with the idea of a Chiappa M1-22 as their timber furniture is interchangeable with original M1 carbine stuff, and a used half decent set of original M1 carbine wood from the USA is a few hundred dollars.......you can retro fit the repro folding stock Airborne stock/grips to the Chiappa as well if desired razz

Of course, there is the fabulous GSG Stg44 as an alternative :D

I like the Rossi copies of the old Model 62 Winchester 'gallery guns' - now that's fun!

Yep - agree about the M1 look but I've heard the Chiappa has a bit of a 'plasticky' feel.
I'd suggest an Erma EM1 if you can find one. I got lucky a few weeks back and got hold of one and the build quality is spot on.
