Still pissed about the 62A, as it was my grandfather's and passed down to me, the only other conservative in the family interested in shooting sports. I did end up later with a couple of mint Model 12's, both made the same year as the 62A (1954). With your XL100, you were waaaay ahead of the curve. Remember the Hodaka Combat Wombat 100's? I really, really wanted one. Super cheap, and good performers. Until they weren't!

Never heard of the Hodakas, but my best friend had a Yamaha 100 that was a little faster than my Honda.
Like I said, I can't recall whatever happened to my old Daisy, but I replaced it many years later with a Beeman R1. Fully adjustable Rekord trigger and a 3x9 scope. I use it for crows in my gardens. Leaves exit wounds. Takes more than 50 pounds to cock it though.
