I think you'll really like the mag Legacy. I bought one of the first one from my local dealer and say there's no comparison to "any" other lever in current production. I'm about to scope mine because I'm too nearsighted to shoot the iron sights now...and if you've shot a lot of bolts with "good" triggers you'll have to learn the feel of the 9422. I had mine honed and cleaned up a bit and it's still a little heavy and creepy. A lot of fun to shoot, though, and plenty accurate!

FURocious....
I'm really impressed with your eyesight if you can get groups like that with factory sights at 50 and 75 yards. That's good shooting. You didn't mention this, but the Winchester Supreme hollow points are a very lethal load, too. I've never been able to group them very well, but I've taken a couple of stray dogs out of my neighbor's sheep and it put them...as you say...DRT!

By the way, I've never bothered "poofing" a sparrow with a .22 mag round, but try a tangerine come this winter. With the right hollow point they really evaporate and leave such a wonderful fragrance behind. It's like a .22 air freshener. On a humid, cold day it lasts for nearly a half hour!
