Good deal! I love mine, since I'm left-handed & all my other semi-auto rim-fires eject into my face, the Browning ejecting downward is GREAT!

I have two of them.

A maruko from Japan and a Belgian made 22 take-down. Got the Maruko [ sp? ] for under 300 and the Belgian for 350. Both are in great shape, the Belgian perhaps as high as 95%, the other is my go to when I shoot baseballs and golf balls practicing the ariel skills.

Damned nice guns. JMusic [ a member here ] introduced me to this model a year ago, and he recently came out for some ariel fun with his a few months ago.

He told me they were the cats meow for ariel work, and he was right.

Congrats on the pickup JD, and good heads up on the 22 takedown for him Limatunes

It would seem I'm not the only one who plays golf that way........

I have a friend who keeps me supplied with golf balls to use for the same thing!!!

One of the most beautiful firearms ever made. I remember admiring them at the Sears store as a kid. Never owned one, but have shot them and would love to have one.

the gun is nice, but I got a bit of a spark with the mention of the museum in Cody. In June 1971 a buddy and I were making our "freedom tour" (just graduated high school in NE Texas), and chased rodeos from Texas to Montana that summer. Our stay in Cody, both the rodeo and the Buffalo Bill Museum were the highlights of the trip. I would love to go back, just for the museum!

Thanks for the memories
