    This isn't a very good picture of mine. It's a Gold Medallion Grade A-Bolt .22. I bought it back in the 80's new. With CCI Green Tag Ammo it will shoot into a ragged hole at 25 years. The scope is a Leupold Vari-X II 3-9X. I need to take it out and shoot it more. It still shoots the same. The bolt is as smooth as glass. I wish they never discontinued it. All blued steel and Walnut. Zero plastic.

    OK then...I was just inquiring what you may use the firearm for.

    Pardon me...this IS a forum for open discussion.

    I have one of the original laminated stock models that I really like. It is not in mint condition but I grabbed it when I found it because they are so hard to find. It will shoot CCI Velocitors into 1/2" 5-shot groups at 50 yards and I'm tickled with that. I had a couple other regular medallion models that wouldn't shoot nearly as well. I would love to get a pretty Gold Medallion but the prices are crazy. I also have a 22mag abolt that was refinished professionally in a matte finish. I love that caliber but I think the accuracy is going to prove to be only mediocre (1.5-2" at 100 yards) but I just picked up some federal 50 grain ammo to try.
