Watch them. They seems to have an inherent issue. I bought one, turned my back for a little bit, then found there were another two of them in the safe.

Good man. And those vege breaths would say hunters are heartless.

My original rifle was a CBC 22LR. Iron sights, full length barrel. Bought from the local sports shop for about $50 if I remember correctly. Munched on any ammo with stunning results. Being a young lad, I couldn't afford either 1) to miss my target, 2) pay too much for ammo. The possum, rabbit (both hairy and feathered) populations were kept well in check with that baby. God I wish I had kept it. My ex wife made me sell it (hmmm,, maybe there's a connection there )

My latest 2 favorites are both JW15's. I bought my (but apparently now my daughters - how did that happen ?) original JW15S as a complete package from GC. Once the usual smoothing of moving parts was sorted - she is a fantastic little shooter. My daughter loves it (did I mention that?)

The other JW15 honey in the safe was purchased for $80 as a beat up POS. It was the A model. Broken stock, full length barrel. New second hand stock (stripped, oiled and varnished), barrel chop to 17", threaded for a suppressor, and, wow, another super accurate tack driver. (My wife has this one)

I do have a model 56 Springfield that I resuscitated that cost me $50. Performance is not as good as my old CBC or the Norincos, but shes a classic, and I cant bring myself to chop it or tart it up.
