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:

Big difference for a magazine.
