How are you liking the T1X? I have cash waiting for them to be in stock in 22lr.....

Plan to drop one in a KRG Bravo, and have a Vortex PST 6-24 sitting in the cabinet that's going on top of it

I think you'll be pleased. Mine is murder on starlings.

It would take me two days to write the list of past and current stock. Hurts my wallet just thinking about it.

Off to work !

From one enabler to another, right WT?

14" .22 lr bbl'd Contender with maple and walnut grip and forend I made. The worn out wool sock is the "case" for it in the safe.

You were definitely my bolt action muse sir...

 

[churchmouse]

You know it was the double tap on my MK II at the FGE that caused that, right?
My latest infatuation.
Tikka T1X in .17 HMR.

I have owned multiples in this caliber and yes it is fun.

Heres my 10/22 build and the wifes mark iv 22/45 lite. Middle pic is 10/22 at 50 yards with pretty much perfect conditions. Mark IV target at 20 yards indoors. Both are great shooters.
Sorry for the crappy pics.

Nice shooting! Which barrel do you have on the 10/22? TacSol?

 

[Areoflyer09]

Heh. I've been feeling the rimfire itch lately too. Picked up a Marlin 60 because I just really wanted a simple 22 rifle without any add-ons. Gah, now I have 4 guns in 22. Must. Stop.

I tried to do that with an international stocked 10/22. Ended up with a Kidd trigger kit and will eventually get peep sights for it.

How are you liking the Marlin? That is one I haven’t played with.

 

[Areoflyer09]

Turbo........you are killing me man.....killing me....

I got the bulk of my 22 ramblings out of the CZ thread.

From his "Help" I have dropped dime on enhancements for both .22 pistols. Who would have thought.......

And all I did on the GSG was mention the kit existed.

 

[Areoflyer09]

WTB - that is a gorgeous Annie! I’m quite curious to see how the Apex Kit turns out.

 

[ckyoursix]

I'm also starting to get the .22lr itch. Looking between the Marlin 60 and Remington 597. Which one gives the less headaches.

 

[Hookeye]

Currently

1985 10/22 w GM bbl in Titan stock and Leupold Freedom VX 3-9 EFR
1971 10/22 sporter (fingergroove) w 2-7X Leupold
200? CZ455..........swapping to .22 mag ....thinking 6X AO Leupold

Sold my Ruger Mk2 Great Eight.
No .22 rf handguns at the moment.

Ideally, get a Ruger Bearcat w adj sights. Dunno why other than super cute and I might run a trap line in the future.

This is one that I have been curious about.

17HMR is a sweet round Mrs.Turbo has it in an American Target.

Yup. I had no idea until then so yeah..........

How do you like the Frontier?

 

[wtburnette]

Yeah, I love my Annie. Can't wait to get it out to the range this Spring. The Apex kit should be nice. Not super light, but I've heard it cleans up the trigger nicely. The stock trigger is not great.

 

[Areoflyer09]

Well hopefully the kit makes it better.

Ruger’s factory triggers are a bit of a disappointment. I think I described my factory MkIII 22/45 trigger as mush.

Yeah, compared to the Victory trigger, it's very disappointing. I still find the Victory the better deal of the two guns. Less money and a better trigger and sights out of the box.

We probably would have kept our Victory if it had come with a lighter barrel from the factory or an aluminum grip, either would have corrected the nose heavy feeling. But side by side with a MkIV we had at the time, the IV balanced better for us.

I love the concept that S&W came up with, hopefully as time progresses we see more aftermarket options come up for them and that S&W doesn’t replace it like they have down repeatedly with their 22 lines.
