Never owned one but I would. At first I didn't like the looks of them, but now I have warmed up to them.

There have been some reasonably priced older SA's on the E.E. lately.

I like the feed-port...

Cyclone: The feed port works but just as easy to rotate mag another 1/8th and remove the tube & put them in.

pharaoh2: you thinking of the SA or the Buckmark?

Gamestalker .30-06: I've a used one, like it so well that bought a new stainless laminate version as well. Take down is clever, can adjust so always tight fit. Can also field strip down to firing pin without tools. They are light, well balanced, and feed anything you put through them.

The Semi Auto take down of course. The Buckmark is one of the ugliest abortions ever to wear a stock. It may have looked nice with a real butt stock, but with a giant pipe washer holding it on, well

Excellent little rifle! used Belgian made seems to go for +/- $400, the Japanese one's seems to be build just as nice... It's probably my most reliable 22lr, it's not a bench gun by any mean, but they are plenty accurate for plinking and hunting.

When plinking, do not wear shirts with open cuff, otherwise you'll most likely end up with hot brass down your sleeves...

Safe shooting,
Mike.
