Thanks for the good input- especially from Jerry and Mike. My first .22LR was/is a Stevens Walnut Hill, so I became "hooked" at age 10 (Thank you, Grandfather Sean). I found the BSA 12/15 used in a M&P gunshop a few years ago, up near where I deer hunt each Nov. here in MI. The owner let me test fire it, and what a sweet trigger- 29" heavy barrel, std. target sights (which I later removed) and used a Weaver 4 power on the scope/sight blocks on the long barrel. I removed the rear Lee Enfield peep style target sight of course-- Anyway, I recently "lucked into" 10 50 rd. NIB boxes of CCI .22Mag (500 rds.) and I asked Brad about rechambering, so until I get it back from his shop, and install (hopefully) a either 6x or 2.5 x 7 x scope, not too much more to add as of now- but will surely keep you posted as to how it shoots after this project is completed- And the same Irish Grandfather that gave me the Stevens Walnut Hill at age 11- and 1931 era Model 12 in 20 gauge (28" mod. solid rib Field Grade), and a Winchester Model 1906 .22LR pump at age 14-- also gave me some very good advice-- at age 16-- "Son, in your life ahead, you are gonna have to decide whether to plod along with the oxes, or run with the foxes"-- Sister Theresa Polycarp would have, no doubt, told him-- "You mean OXEN, not OXES" but as the only female he ever paid any attention to was my Grandmother Kathleen, the good Sister's words would have fallen on deaf ears-He was, as I am, a male chauvinist to a degree- he also told me that "Wimmen have no business meddling in the things that begin with the letter P-- Politics, Shootin' Pool, Playin' Poker, Hunting Pheasants or takin' a good solid Piss in the woods"--
