[QUOTE="Shootin 4 Fun, post: 1407708, member: 6465"] I thought those things were .25 rimfire. Has the barrel been replaced? I was wrong. Back in 1890, the Stevens Arms Company introduced a .22 single shot marketed as the Stevens Favorite. The falling-block rimfire was more accurate and of considerably higher quality than earlier break-top .22s the company had produced. It quickly became the most popular rifle in the Stevens lineup. The Favorite was offered in several different versions and was chambered for .22, .25 and .32 rimfire ammo. In 1902, the standard Favorite rifle sold for $6, but optional target sights could boost the price to $9 or more. A special bicycle case could be purchased for an additional $1.50. The standard half-round, half-octagon 22" barrel could he lengthened for $1 per extra inch. Fancy wood and checkering could also be ordered for an additional charge. The Stevens Favorite was discontinued in 1939. [/QUOTE]
