I have to wait for one. But that will also give me a chance to see how it shoots for others as it gets into the hands of the Internet channels.

as an update, i got one.  i just took it to the range this past weekend to function check and sight in.  it's pretty awesome.

i haven't decided what scope i will put on it yet.  right now it is borrowing the scope from my American Rimfire Predator.

Let us know your experience with it once you get it set up and start doing some serious shooting with it.  :shaka: :shaka: :shaka:

My biggest issue with this is that the butt stock seems to be permanently attached. I'd rather have a chassis that I can use any butt stock like a XLR, Magpul or Luth. With the RPR many were tossing the butt stock and replacing them. You can't so that with this and it seems to be similar set up.

I was testing some ammo yesterday through PRimrose (yes, I named my rifle).
CCI Standard Velocity (two different lot #s)

The grid is supposed to be 0.5" squares, but it is slightly off by a hair (less than 1% error). i'll have to readjust my target paper print settings.

All groups are 5 rounds and i shot them in 15-round strings of the same ammo type before switching to the next ammo type.

This is probably one of my favorite rifles right now.

yes, i kept the same point of aim for all of the groups and i didn't adjust the turrets.

i think there may be other people on here that have a different "approach."

here's a pic of all of the groups from yesterday.  the other rows of groups are from two other brands of 22LR.

Great results with target ammo. I would love to see what she can do with some match grade ammo!

I get blasted a lot for saying this on another forum. But I found, generally speaking that the SV in the 100 round packs has better consistency than the 50 round boxes.

i actually picked up a bunch of boxes of Green Tag, SK, ELEY, and Federal.

A part of me wants to try the match ammo through the gun, but match ammo is really expensive.  i don't want to waste good ammo until i become a better shooter.  or maybe i'm just being too pake.

Obviously your results will vary. For me I found Green Tag didn't shoot any better or differently than SV. When I chronographed the two loads side by side they were exactly the same velocity, SD, POA and even shot the same size groups. Only difference I could see was in the amount of lube on the bullets. SV had excess where Green Tag was perfect. The ELEY Target and Tenex shoot almost the same with the Tenex slightly better. SK Standard + is a dud for me while the SK Rifle Match shoots the best out of all my guns. I have not tried any Federal (exc American Eagle) in 6 or 7 years. Their Target and Match and Ultra Match were not as good as the SK and was the same price. I had some older Match and it shot as well as the SK. But it is no longer available.

I use the CCI SV as target and practice ammo. I also use it in my target/match pistols. I shoot a lot of it.

I'm pake about my .22 ammo. I buy a lot of Blazer for plinking and SV for target and practice. I save the good stuff for competition and special projects.

That rifle looks badass.  It may be my 2nd draft pick for  a 22.  The MP5SD still #1.  I'm not a huge fan of owning the same type of guns (15/22).

I have a buddy in VT and another in TX that love this rifle!  I'd be tempted to get one of these or a Savage bolt action. . .
