Weird may not be the right word, but it is a very different and I think amazing design: rear stock loading and magazine, bottom facing action and ejection, as well as take down design. I love the thing. Everyone who tries it shoots it well.

@Thomas Carpenter, I wholeheartedly agree! The SA-22 and the BL-22 have become some of my all time favorites!

Any update on your experience with it?

@@Alfalfa61 I'm a huge fan, I had a she'll or 2 go down my sleeve but besides that I've had no problems. It's also holding its value, great investment. Don't shoot remington bullets out of that gun, it deserves better

@@Greenhorn. LOL, only a shell or two?! Keep firing! I got a blister from one hot round, but it made me smile every time I accidentally rubbed the spot. I hope you get a lifetime of enjoyment out of it!

BS on the arcade. Pumps were the weapon of choice .

BS.

@Chuck Truitt, I have really grown to love these. Even w Browning in my back yard, I never paid them much attention. Glad I woke up at some point.

@Roberts Firearms, Thanks, I would have been very happy w a standard blue one. I just lucked into finding this one. Kinda hooked me on maple wood.

@Sagittariustoo, funny enough, as crappy as thunderbolt is, we’ve found and tried some other brands during this drought that were way worse. Wasn’t sure that was possible, lol.

@Guy Vossen, I think these are capable of great accuracy. I just need more practice w mine.

@Sylvainster30, Thanks! We have loads of fun trying new and old things, and glad to share the fun. I would highly recommend bagging one of these. They shoot so well, and cycle SO FAST! I have taken it out a few times since, and love it more w each trip. I doubt they will ever get truly affordable, but will hold their value and last for generations. Good luck!

Sure, fire away! what’s on your mind?

@@Alfalfa61

I still have not been able to shoot it a lot yet, but I have not seen any poor accuracy in the times I've taken it out. I will certainly provide an update if it does.
