I've been fantasizing about that one. Saw it on sale too and gave it some serious thought. Let us know how it shoots.

Lee,

Looks like a sweet little rifle.......Rabbits beware........lol


ps......You going to scope it?......I put a cheapie Tasco on my .17 and it shoots straight as a string. I've never thought putting high dollar scopes on rimfire's was that necessary.........2 cents

The American's are awesome rigs in both .17 HMR and .22 LR. Nice choice Lee. Can't beat em' for the money.

Far as a scope. Yes I thinking about taking my old Bushnell 3 by 9 I currently have on my 308' and replace it with a new scope with adjustable turrets. For short to mid range targets. But I not for sure yet. Seems for a new 22or rifle I should pick up new scope.hahaha. my partner is selling his youth bear bow for my wife use.so she is happy with me. Hahaha. I may get that new scope.

thanks for that suggestion. I had a rethink on this going to hit the range with different ammo & try it out. hahahaha .

I learned one thing to watch out for is where the scope does and doesn't have parallax. A rimfire scope will be parallax free at 50-75 yards, and a rifle scope at 100+ yards. I think that's part of the problem with my Marlin is that it has a rifle scope on it and has parallax at 25 and 50yds where I need it dead on for those little tiny ground squirrels.
