I paid $85.00 for mine, it wears an OLD Weaver 2.5X with a heavy post for quick shooting of feral cats and other pests around the place. At one time I did mount a Weaver V-3X9 on it, just to see how well it shot...It did very well, almost as good as my Winchester M69, but the scope weighed as much as the rifle so the 2.5X took it's place.

It goes, "BANG" when I want it to and hits what I want it to. For me, it's an ideal kitchen door utility gun. Not quite as handy as an M1 Carbine, but it's a darn fair substitute in .22LR! It's quick to shoulder, and fast on target.

I wouldn't be without it, same as my 6" Ruger std. model .22 pistol.
