+1, about 10 times over. Semi-autos are finicky. A pump 22 is the 240D of rifles. It will take bb caps, cb caps, S, L, LR, stdV, or HV, subsonic or hypersonic. You can shoot well just as fast. The henry is a solid choice. Otherwise, look for Win 61, 1906, or similar. Win 61 is great, bu

Re: [MBZ] OT - .22 Rifles

IMO Only accurate rifles are interesting...and that is especially true of .22 rimfire rifles. I expect adequate accuracy to enable reliable head shots on squirrels out at 25-50 yds. I have a Rem. 541T that can certainly do that. Plinking is a lot more fun when you can hit what you're aiming at.

Re: [MBZ] OT - .22 Rifles

Point well taken. As I start to do my due diligence on this model, it sounds like most reviewers didn’t find it to be any better than the stock/standard version as far as accuracy. With that in mind I suspect I’ll head back down to that one and be happy with it. Thanks! -D > On May 26, 2018

Re: [MBZ] OT - .22 Rifles

I was considering the target version of the American Rimfire, but then SWMBO said that she wanted to shoot it also, so I went with the Compact. Surprisingly, both the compact and the target have 18" barrels, I don't regret it at all - it's a sweet rifle. I don't get the difference between plinking

Re: [MBZ] Sdl strange electrical issue

Dielectric grease _is_ an insulator, but it's mechanically so weak that it's no impediment to the electrical contacts. It's a barrier only to oxygen, moisture, and corrosion. The point of this grease _is_ that it's an insulator, and so doesn't affect the normal operation of switches and contacts,
