Beautiful!
I looked at that model in a .22 lr and was in lust with it until I saw the price
and realized I already had 5 ea. .22 lr rifles.

Pretty rifle!
Always thought the Mach 2 would be an interesting round to play with.
Have fun!

thought i had sworn off buying another lever gun...
Now, why would you go and swear an oath like that?
Tell you what...
Ship it to me here in Maine -- and all will be forgiven! And I will give it a solid round of testing.

That's pretty!
I'm surprised the mach 2 didn't really take off, it's a neat little round!

Were you ill and fighting for conscious thought when you made that oath, Doc?
