    Anyone shot one yet? Thought I was set on rimfires but this makes me itch. Thoughts?

    Hammerli (Walther now) Force B1 is toggle, switch caliber (.22lr and .22 mag) that takes Ruger 10/22 mags and prices at 6.5 bills (pre-keystoning, likely less for us).

    Here's a review with pics of both the laminate & synthetic stock models:

    Takes both Ruger 10/22 mags and trigger groups.

    Not much different than my Browning T-bolt, and it was only $500 in a left handed version with the nice wood.
    Not much different? Well . . . there is the whole toggle action, the ability to switch calibers, or the adj. stock, but . . . OK, KINDA similar?

    Browning T-bolt is a great gun and love to shoot mine but this is much different and I can stop rimfires anytime I want. It's not like I have a problem.

    Not far from the tree
    If I didn't already have an Izhmash Sobol .22lr and a std model in .22 WMR that shoot better than that switch bbl and the triggers are great out of the box, I might be interested. It has to do .5" at 50 to be interesting any more.
