Had a 22 Mag in a old 1960's marlin model 57 it was good but was looking for a more accurate gun. Failed to find anything that qualified on the used market, so I ordered a 22 mag reamer and am dreaming up the most bueatiful bolt action single shot. May take a BRNO #1 or 2 and put an Gailard barrell on with a MS stock and alter the bolt to a butter knife handle. I would buy a Annie model 54 in 22 mag if I had 2 K's to spend, good luck in your search for a single shot, there was a guy taking Ruger #1's and converting them to rimfire rifle if I remember his name will PM you, good luck Dale in T-Bay
