I found other pics of the same basic action.
Now I gotta find the specific model number.

That thing, that sleeve or whatever, mounted on the exterior of the barrel just forward of the receiver,
is confusing me. I've never seen THAT on a gun before, and I have no idea what its purpose might be.
Surely they wouldn't use it for the forward scope ring, when it it's just an accessory tube tacked-on
to the gun's barrel? That wouldn't seem stable enough.
I have that gun with the period redfield on it. Didn’t shoot it for years due to the scarcity of ammo until Aguila started making them again. I bought a bunch of it. Shame it never caught on. It is my favorite magnum rimfire cartridge of all time. I picked it up at an estate sale for $50. It’s worth quite a bit more than that now.
