Thread: Best value bolt .22 besides Norinco....

The JW-15s can be a lottery but as guys have said, there are quite a few winners. I did one for my nephew years ago and it was a tackdriver. My older son needed one recently and I scored one for near nothing that needed a little TLC. It had been laying in a safe for ? decades and was covered in surface rust. The stock was pretty good, other than being made from heart of rhubarb. The gun itself must have had a bit of use as the action was pretty smooth. Anyway, gave her the once-over and had a quick play with Birchwood Casey cold blue paste. The borescope showed no major flaws, particularly rust.



So next question was how would she shoot?

Here's the group after I got the zero roughly right- that's four through one small hole and can't explain why the other one. Bear in mind the --crappy- 4X scope was totally obscuring the aiming mark



( Excuse the faulty pic upload- dunno what happened there??)
