Rimfire Madness: The Infection Begins

[Usmccookie]

buddy of mine had one of those mosquitos awhile back the only ammo it would shoot was CCI mini mag. Very very picky eater

This is very common. I have heard this quite often.

I'm trying to hold out until the SGE to try the difference between the Lite and the Tactical, but it's difficult to wait. I mean, it's gun-buying Tuesday for crying out loud! LOL

We piddled with if for a few months with no luck. For that style pistol I'd much rather go the SR22 route. Or just Ruger in general for .22 lr. Lol

My general view point is unless you want something specific, it’s hard to beat Ruger’s 22 pistols.

Even their rifles. They're most definitely on point with rimfires

I’m less of a fan of the factory rifles. My Talo American had some pretty rough spots I sand to smooth out and my 10/22 has the toughest casting on the inside of the receiver I’ve ever seen on a firearm. That said, both function but they leave something to be desired on quality.

Love the Lego stands

Thanks! It was a quick and easy solution.

22Plinkster got his hands on a Kel-Tec CP33. This is one that I’m anxious to get my hands.

If you like the feel of the PMR30 you should like this one. I didn't care for the feel. to wide front to rear

Looks pretty cool

I think the only Kel-Tec I’ve ever held is the Sub2k. Most of what they make never really sparked much interest, but 33rds and good trigger from the factory might just do it. Might even be enough to make the polymer acceptable.

Added a couple more .22LR rifles to the stable. Ruger Precision Rimfire & 2nd gen M&P 15-22. The RPR has the factory barrel installed currently and I will be doing accuracy testing with it and then swap barrels with one from Green Mountain to see if accuracy improves or not.

 

[Areoflyer09]

Congrats T-Dogg!

Which Hawke did you get for the RPR?

How do you like the M&P 15-22? Those keep catching my eye.

My RPR shot better the dirtier it got. Minimags did the best early on but as it got dirty, other brands did better. I think Ruger may have chambered them a little deeper than necessary. Curious to see how yours behaves.

This is my second one, the other is a first gen camo version and I love it. A perfect platform for people who love AR's like me and I've had my daughter training on it for years as well. I think the camo one has close to 5k rounds now with no major issues. It runs everything I've ever fed it and that probably includes 20-30 different brands over the years.

I will keep that in mind. I have some minimags to try also. If the factory barrel does well and the GM barrel doesn't improve the accuracy much, then I plan on selling the GM barrel off separately.

Congrats T-DOGG. Some of the YouTube reviews I watched showed people getting some pretty amazing groups with low to midrange priced ammo with the RPR. Very interested to see what your results are.

Just held one, you are correct. Nice trigger, high capacity, easy sights, good balance and a wide grip from front to rear. Totally killed my interest.
