The safety.

@Peskådot671 I'm glad I asked because I thought it was a couple of different things and a safety wasn't one of them.

This is my Huntsman Midas MKI in .22, which was made from 1983 to 1992.

Wow, I never saw a daystate that old! Is it a 12foe gun?

It averages 15ft lbs

My unregulated Revere gets around 95 shots (you could squeeze a few more out) at 18 fpe. One of those rare guns that you have to keep. IMO, it's better than many of the higher end guns that cost twice as much. Those of you who were able to buy them from AOA for $899 got a fantastic deal.

I wanted to get in on that deal but I’m a lady shooter and the stock is unusable.

There are aftermarket stocks for the revere. Or if its a matter of length of pull it’s easy enough to cut that down.

Kind of negates the great sale price. I might as well just buy a Safari or Wolverine in the first place

Could always call aoa and see if they can order a left hand revere. They used to make them

I had my Revere up for sale or trade, and no offers got me to move it. So I am revisiting it. I hope to shoot it in the morning before my kid wakes up doing some 30 yard challenge cards. I think its highest is 197, so I'd like to get that 200.

I did a casual card at 10m with a 24x Sightron pellets straight from the tin. This rifle is as it arrived from AoA.

An update to the update I did to my earlier post (#18) about the Griffin.

The friend I sold it to decided it wasn't his "cup of tea" and went the Alpha Wolf direction.
I bought the Griffin back from him a month or so ago and I've been getting it ready for some F.T. action.

I have most of my ranging & distances set up on the scope wheel and today the weather warmed up a little and the wind wasn't too bad so I got the Griffin out and did a little shooting off the bucket and sticks to verify distances and hold overs.
I'm going to try and do more later this week. Some kind of storm w/ big wind blowing in tomorrow.
