This was my first gun. I've put so many bricks of .22lr threw this thing that I'm surprised there is any rifling left. When I was a kid the only thing i wanted to do was go out to the farm for the weekend and shoot this rifle. I woud sit there with a brick of cheep .22lrs and spend the day trying to shoot empty shot gun shell casings from as far away as i could.

Yes, the old Savage and Stevens tipping block rifles can be a lot of fun. IMO, a kid, a brick of 22s, and a box of cans is guaranteed to be a lot of fun.
