Springfield M6 Survival Rifle .22 Hornet/.410

I've been thinking of buying one. What's a good or better used one with parkerized finish worth? What do you think of these in .22 Hornet over .410 shotgun?

I have had one for a year or so now. They are neat and if you find a good soft sided case to carry it in it makes a good truck gun, camping gun, or gun to have if you can't legally carry a pistol. The Hornet round is awesome and the .410 is versatile in that you can use slugs, buckshot and shot shells. I guess the only down side is the length of pull and the sights. The sights are a notch and a simple peep. I bought a scope mount for mine, cost $42.00, but was from Springfield. I have not mounted a scope on mine yet, but saw a magizine article in which someone used that crazy freeze method on barrel, coated it with some camo super coating and scoped it out. I have the simple parkerized on and it is fun to shoot if you reload the Hornet, due to it costing twenty-five to thirty rounds a box of fifty. Sorry for the long response, wanting to fish tonight, too much raining.

Here is a cool link for it. I have the parkeized one and realy like it. I have had mine for years and taken many grouse. The only thing I am not fond of is the price of .410
