I have the same one and a semi auto 22 (short's only)the same age, with peep sights on both, I grew up shooting them since early 60's, my dad got them from his paper route when he was a kid, he's 84 now. There is no better 22!!!!!!!!!!!! I have shot/owned many. I have 22's to 300 Win mag, I grew up shooting any time I wanted to to. we had a mile square farm with a small lake that we use to skip 22's to hit the target.
Grouse hunt with my 22 pump, and Squirrel hunt with my dad's 22 luger pistol (he got in WWII) it's loud for a 22. Bear hunt with a 308, 300 win mag, 45 scoped 10" pistol, fish with my bow since I was 10.
I even had my own Daisy BB gun when I was 8, and I didn't shot mine or any one else's eye out!!!
