I have one of these old ancient hand-me-downs. The only marks on it are "TRU-TEST" on the barrel, and a small proof mark stamped on the barrel. Since there is no serial number, it seems unlikely to be able to know exactly when this old thing was made. I was wondering if anyone had an production dates for this rifle?

Also, Anyone have any good recommendations for a modern single shot .22LR?

I have the same gun under the J.C. Higgins banner. I'm quite pleased with how it shoots.
