i dunno fellas, all the rifles i've got "spoke" to me in some way.some quirk ,ability or historical angle.probably why i have three krico's of different calibres, a m96 swede and a mod 94 30-30 in my collection. stoney likes his martini cadets, i bin thinking of a build up in 357 mag. when they play up or have issues i hate them and bitch to stoney about selling some of them
. i guess if ya lookin for another cheap 22 stix ya gotta find something that appeals to ya in some way . had a mate years ago with a pump action 1906 model winchester 22lr with a hex barrel. was a fun thing to play with and a unusual rifle.scan used guns/ozgunsales and see if ya find anything ya like. as for dating krico's , google is your friend. do a google on krico 300 for 22's, 400 for 22lr, 22mag and 22 hornets, and 600 series for 222,22-250 ,243,308. these are rare and finding parts if you need them can be a issue. and no stix ya cant have my hornet rifle
