From in the early 60's till sometime in the 80's I laid a pile of squirrels in the frying pan with a model 42MC Mossberg bolt action .22LR with 7-shot detachable magazine. In the late 60's I added a Bushnell 3-7 scope which cost less than $20.00 at the time. Had a 7/8 tube with full length rail on bottom. Had to screw a dovetail block to top of receiver to mount it. It is "Absolutely amazing" what can be done with a "Cheap Outfit" as long as the shooter has the "Ability & Intelligance" to use it. ""Door Prop"" HMMMMPH.
