I used BX-15 for years but now have to go with coupled BX10. I mainly shoot hares in establishing tree blocks, I consider 22lr marginal for hares so usually pull the trigger twice every shot which works for me. I've seen hares take out 1000 seedlings in a single night so a few extra rounds of 22lr are a small price to pay. Probably should have a 22mag for hares. I had intended to move this rifle over to E and get some 25 round mags for multiple hares, too late now.

Got a bit of a Parachute US M1 Carbine look to it especially second photo.

As far as looks go, I preferred it with the BX15. More practical too. Has anyone ever heard any reason why they banned 15rd 22 mags? Pure incompetence is my assumption, but was there actually a reason? Picture from days gone by.

Walther .22, came to me threaded at full barrel length, have shortened to suit me. Have the same in .22 Hornet

Here's mine kinda the same as bens, ati dragunov stock, with a piece of split alkathene as an extra cheek riser. The clip on the barrel is for a spotlight. Dont know the brand of scope but its been on the rifle for enough years to get sunburnt. Mil dot so holdovers are easy.
I too occasionally use a trimag but am not a big fan of it. For off hand shooting I find the stock way better than the original especially with the extra weight of the spot.
I guess this thread is really in the gutter now!

Where is the infamous @Dundee's 1200 yard rig?

It’s in a new dress now......only good for 200


Or 780Dd metres

Agreed the old stirling

This makes me want a 22 again, and a place to smash a few critters with it. Miss small game hunting

The Tikka T1X guys..... how abouts bit of a review?

I'm buying a new rimfire (and another 223) with my confiscation money, and its either a T1X or its another self-built 10/22 with fancy parts......

Agreed, I reckon a TX1 in .17hmr would be quite good. Would love to hear more about them.

There are plenty of complimentary reviews online.
I replaced a CZ455 with the T1x, mainly because I wanted my .22 to have the same ergonomics as my t3. The ability to share parts between the t1x and the t3 is handy.
As for how it shoots - easily on par with the CZ, and I'm sure it will get better when it's broken in. Currently sub MOA with CCI subs.
The finish is better than the CZ, the magazines are much nicer, the trigger is better, especially when replaced with a 2 stage timney, and my Stug T3 stock fits perfectly.
So far it's ticking a lot of boxes for me.

Totally agree ,
I bought mine because of the Familiarity aspect of my T3 , and the aftermarket availability of bits and pieces for the Tikka platform.
Accuracy is first class with standard velocity target ammunition , haven’t tried high velocity hunting ammo .
Feeds , functions beautifully, and the trigger is the same as the T3 , totally adjustable, but it does benefit from fitting a lighter spring .

Here ya go @Gibo

That Stirling .22 has put pay to countless hares I shudder to think what you could do with a .17 and some better glass
