Guys, here is the latest on my gun choice and purchase. I actually ended-up with two 22's ... and neither one is a bolt gun.

OK, OK, I know what you are thinking and muttering under your breath. But you have to hear the story:

Many years ago I gave my youngest son a Glenfield Mod 60 which he used very, very little. He called me (after my original post) and asked if it was OK if he traded-in the gun for a Remington 30-06 he wanted. I told him h... no! Instead, I purchased it from him with the intent of eventually passing it along to one of the grand kids. When I went to his house to pick-up the Mod 60, his wife showed me a Marlin 39A Golden - that she picked-up somewhere but can't remember how or why. She intended to give it to my son to trade-in also. Sweeeeet.

So, here I am with two 99% guns, neither of which is a bolt action as I originally wanted. Nevertheless, I am a happy camper.
