nope, trialled mine on private land, damn thing lasted about 6 shots before it failed. rossi keeps going on strong even with those 300 grain hornady rounds.
i also had a look at a henry 22 l/a. damn thing was made of "pot metal" so i bought a browning instead

All good. Was shooting a fella's one at the range last year and a vital piece of the bolt broke of during firing...
