Basically, what are my options for a non-bolt-action single shot .22LR rifle?
Off the top of my head, I can think of:
H&R Topper or Trapper or something (break-open)
I see these everywhere, but H&R is...on the low end of quality. I don't really care that much about finish, but I like guns to last long, even cheap ones. So what's the deal with H&R single shots? Are they basically alright?
Rossi single shot .22 (break-open)
I know nothing about these. I've seen it maybe twice in a gun shop in my entire life. Can anyone educate me?
(Savage) Stevens (falling block)
This is the one I really like. I've never even seen one in a gun store or show before, except for very old examples.
There's also the Encore I guess, but that's a little out of my league. Does anyone have any thoughts? I think if I don't find any more examples, i'll track down/order a Steven's Favorite.
