I bought a used rifle last week--I cannot find any information reguarding manufacturer.
This is a tube fed, semi-auto 22 magnum rifle. The only markings are
Jefferson Arms, it has 65E stamped on the barrel next to the reciever.
The receiver is slotted/dove tailed for a scope.

Anyone know anything about this rifle?

Thanks

Thanks Mike
I have looked at that particular rifle==mine looks real similiar and it has the old Colt with the horse on the buttplate. But it does not give any reference to Colt aside from that.

Checked my copy of the Blue Book, nothing there.
