The old Remington 12C, I believe is the model number, with the tang sight, is one very fun little gun.
They're hard to find, though, and haven't been produced in many, many years.

Whatever you do...
Don't get one of the Rossi copies of the 61! A shooting buddy of mine got one of these little rifles ,an it took him weekly trips to the range for months on end shooting several bricks of various LR ammo to get it functioning smoothly enough to shoot an entire tube of ammo without jamming,cramming and failing to go 'Bang'
several times in the process.
He finally got it 'shot in', and then started to address the problem that it was inaccurate
He's gaining on it, but it would have been much simpler to have bought another rifle to begin with.
As ol' Elmer Kieth sed: "An inaccurate rifle is not interesting!"
