In my opinion only 
I obviously understand that there's different strokes, but to me, this thing is it. I bought over 3 dozen rimfire rifles over the course of the last decade, and each one of them i eventually got bored with, or I got frustrated with some aspect of it. Either it was cheap feeling, poor fit and finish, not accurate enough, too much plastic, insufficient mag capacity, bad aesthetics, unreliable function... The list goes on. I kept buying more trying to satisfy my desire for quality and overall appeal, without breaking the bank. This one is it. It's MY rifle. There is not a single aspect of it that I would change (besides the plastic trigger guard which I remedied immediately by making a custom one by hand). I've since sold off all my other rimfires but this one remains.
It feels like a proper rifle. I've never had an FTF or FTE in thousands of rounds. I seemingly can't miss with it. It's a frigging laser beam with its tight, hand lead lapped bore from the factory. It'll hold 20 rounds of long rifle (or 30 shorts) in the tube mag, which I prefer over box mags which I personally find a pain to load and easy to lose, and it has a much more streamlined feel to it with no mag hanging down under it. Colour case hardened steel internals, 3 optional front sights, a swing away rear aperture which I can leave mounted beside the scope, a nice weight for offhand shooting. Man... I can't say enough.
It's a mossberg 146-B T-bolt, it's complete and all original, and it's mine.
LOVE the case hardened steel parts...
