Love 'em. Actually I love .22's in general and have at last count four rifles and four hand guns. I've always wanted a Stevens Favorite - the so-called Boy's Rifle.; I really like those little falling block guns - and I always kept my eyes peeled for one in decent condition that I could afford - many of them have been shot out, or at least shot loose - and it's not something I wanted to put a lot of money in. A few years back I came across a Crackshot at a gun show; not a Favorite, but the same basic design. The lever's a bit loose but I can live with that in an inexpensively-made gun that's probably a hundred years old or better; bluing and wood finish are really good. I asked the price, the owner said "How would you feel about $?" I said, "I'd feel better about $" and now I own it. It's a fun little shooter in .22LR and it shoots pretty much where you point it. Here it is, photographed in a sort of "Boy's rifle" setting with a few other treasures. I may have posted this before, but hey: it's hotter than blue blazes out, and I'm bored...
