My 795 loves the 42gr stuff too but the 40gr won't cycle more than 2 or 3 rounds before it FTL. The Cci supers all cycle but group like a drunk. Power points are excellent in it too. My Brno is accurate with anythingQuote:

True - details:
Produced 1996 - 2009
Variants 96/17 (.17 HMR)
96/22 (.22 LR)
96/22M (.22 WMR)
96/44 (.44 Mag)
Accurate at 0.7" repeatable best, quick short throw lever, safe manual action for youngsters. 13 year old put 10 shots in a 1" black dot. Gave it heavy use for years - one of the best wee hunters we've had.
Very interesting little Beretta Hamsav - unusual action setup. Good to play with.
I know this is a long shot but my lady friend (can't really call her a girl at 53) has inherited a Baikal T03-17-01 in very good condition apart from missing a magazine. She is an excellent shot and a mad keen rabbit shooter and has asked me to try and locate a mag for the rifle, of which I've failed to do.
Any help or suggestions in locating a magazine for the rifle would be very much appreciated.
Also I agree that there is a paucity of "nice" .22LR rifles. Certainly some of the cheaper ones shoot well, but they're ugly and poorly finished and rather dreadful for that.

If you locate a mag later then you simply drop out the fake mag and use a real one.
All the best.
Didn't take him long to locate one :DQuote:

Thanks for the excellent tip timattalon.Quote:

Big difference for a magazine.
I see Savage have a new Semi out... not sure if it has already been mentioned here, but looks interesting...
Savage Arms > Launch > A17
Attachment 35615
I'm looking forward to hearing some feedback on it, I love 17hmr and love semiautomatic small game rifles but haven't had the best luck with the two combined with the couple I have tried
if you have the money (about 2k) the kidd is about the best semi auto 22 money can buy
RIFLES
Yeah man, i've shot a couple, stupidly accurateQuote:

You raise a good point - has the quality dropped?
35 years ago - my dad bought me a 'cheap' Stirling .22 for $125 and I shot the crap out of it. Today - buying a Ruger or CZ for ~$700+ is way cheaper and they are better quality rifles.
Just a thought ... cheers Gunzrrr
I had one for a few years for indoor sporting rifle shooting (25m) toped with a Leopold vx3 6.5-20EFR target scope it was the 16 inch barrel version and could compete with any bolt action on the range I shot 4 top scores 500/500 and my average was 498/500 so yes they are dam accurateQuote:

My first .22 was a Heckler & Koch Model 270 .22 L.R. Semi-Auto, I know these are rare now and yes I regret selling it (when I moved overseas). Very accurate and reliable with beautiful H and K build quality. Only negative is that it would not cycle subs so was not worth suppressing.
If you see one on offer especially with the original peep hole open sights grab it!
you'd hope so at 2k plusQuote:
