Hi all, I was wondering if you could tell me more about the Taurus Model 62 (specifically the M62C-SS (Carbine Stainless). I sorta gave up on finding myself a M6 Scout, so I continued looking for a little survival rifle / grouse gun and stumbled across this rifle which seems real nice and has awesome specs:
1) Take down
2) tube mag (12+1) (great for when you spot 2 grouses hanging out together)
3) Stainless steel -> less chance of rusting up
4) Short (barrel is 16 1/4" I think, overall is 32 1/2")
5) Light (4 1/2 pounds)
6) Pump (great for when you spot 2 grouses hanging out together)

The only downfall is that they are no longer being made :( Are they extremely rare (I could always compromise and get the M62C in non-stainless if that's the only thing that's floating around)? Anyone seen them for sale somewhere? Were these known to be accurate? I define accurate as being able to hit a grouse's head at like 15 yards (provided I do my part of course!). How's the action: Smooth? Are there issues when pumping in a new round or do they feed reliably?

Thanks!
