So, what alternative .22LR auto ?

[saddler]

A 10/22 in wolf's clothing definitely has possibilities too...

I have seen an MG 42 kit for a 10/22 now that would be interesting

Found one http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/r ... x?a=180441

OOH - picture that kit with a drum mag!!

Under seventy quid as well before postage....

Apparently they are as nasty as they are cheap - just a flimsy plastic skin with no strength or durability. If true, it's a shame...

We thought we'd update this.

We've bought two rifles:

1. Remington 597 semi-auto with a heavy bull barrel and a superb laminated stock

2. An Izhmash bolt action Biathlon rifle

Each rather nice in their own way, and leaving a few pennies in piggy towards either a Browning take down or a Pietta PPS 50

Class. Have you shot it yet, any chance of some pictures and a bit of a write up on it?

No, not yet, we took the Remington out this weekend and gave that a good blatting* . The Izhmash will be taken out the next time the 25m range is available, possibly mid May. We'll definitely do a write up - the bolt reminds us of a Luger toggle lock...

Hmmm, almost as good as the .22RF Gatling gun we have been imagineering...

Re the Izhmash Biathlon, did you have one reserved with Rusmilitary before they stopped stocking them? If I remember correctly, they were selling them for about £1200! :shock:
