My birthday present to me

[barbarossa]

I m always looking for something different to add to my rimfire collection so I picked this up a new in the box
Springfield m6 scout in 22lr/410.This is a US made version not a CZ.

Happy Birthday. You must have been a good boy. Very nice.

I've heard a lot of people brag about how well the .410 half of that is.

[Leverluver]

Cool combo especially US made. Never did figure out why the squeeze lever instead of a normal trigger.

[barbarossa]

Squeeze trigger was so the gun could be fired with mittens on in frigid weather also in case the user might of somehow damaged his hand in an accident .

Happy Birthday cool present!

[Blaine]

Nice.......Even if never use it, I want a 410 around.......

Never did figure out why the squeeze lever instead of a normal trigger.

So the gun can be fired while wearing (very) cold weather mittens, w/o first removing same - a military (USAF, IIRC) requirement when they were first designed for military/Pentagon procurement.

IIRC, the earlier versions had 14" barrels in .22Hornet & .410, along with a bolt-action single shot/barrel survival gun in .22 Hornet.

I have one of the CZ built ones in Hornet/.410.

Amazingly good shooter with either barrel. My oldest grandson (now 15) started out shooting hand thrown clay birds with it when he was 7, and he still thinks it's the coolest gun ever. Guess I should put his name on it.
