I got a Taurus 62 pump-action .22 this weekend for my birthday, and let me tell you it is sweet! My brother and I put 100-150 rounds or so through it with no problems on Saturday, and it was a blast. I'd highly recommend picking one of these up if you're interested in a pump .22.
The only aspect of it that I don't like is that you can only pump the action if it is decocked. When I shoot through one magazine its cocked when I'm finished, and then after reloading the tube you have to decock before you can chamber another round. But thats really just a minor annoyance.
At the show where I got it I saw a few rifles with what I think were fiber optic sights on them. They were about an inch long tubes, 2 green in the rear and a red one for the front sight. I'd really like to get a set of these for the Taurus, but I'm not having much luck finding them online. Does anybody know if they make these for the Taurus 62? For anyone thinking of purchasing a Taurus 62, the standard sights are actually quite good. I'd just like to give the fiber optics a try.
