I had a Steven Favorite and I deeply regret selling it. Was a great little rifle.

Thats a beautiful rifle!

That's beautiful, I wish mine was in 22. A friend passed away and I inherited a 32. Ammo hasn't been made since 1941 or something. I want to convert it over to a 32 cf case. Short Colt or something.

Hey man , if your Favorite is in great condition keep it original , you`ll never shoot
her enough to warrant the cost or depreciation of the rifle.

Find a box of .32 rimfire that plenty of shooting .

It's not one of the super pretty case hardened ones. It's also not real beat up. I would like to use it like it was meant to be used. I just don't want it to cost 10 bucks for every road chicken I get with it.
