i just wanted to chime in and say im only new and have only just got my licence but have shot for a fair while using other licenced shooters gun at the range i decided on the lithgow in .22lr synthetic stock i put a leupold vx-2 3-9x40 scope on it with some leupold PRW rings went to the range with 100 cci minimag 36grain, federal standard velocity, cci standard velocity, eley club i ended up shooting 250 rounds that day with my brother got it sighted in within 40 minutes and was punching 10cent size holes out of the target at 50 metres with the cci standard velocity i thought i was missing but i wasnt i was actually putting the bullets through the same hole and everytime i go now i can easily punch a hole out of the target i hope this information will help someone who is looking to get one so they know where to start with ammo.

Doing good mate.

See if you can get down to the 5c coin with some match ammo now

That'll do it

Was wondering if they have sorted out the few little niggles with the LA101? Need a bunny buster and I certainly would like to buy Australian made

[AusTac]

Good shooting mate, a few others and i have found they like the cci standard velocity and if you really want to get tight rws high velocity hp or sk magazine but thats just a few rifles, best to grab a box of everything and shoot it all good to hear your liking it!

The way I see it you could get a great one or a long wait to get a good one

I was at the range on Monday May 16th and a bloke was using one. He has been trying for some time now to get it to shoot groups he could be happy with, but at the end of 100 rounds on the day, trying different ammo types, he still couldn't get it to consistently hold 25mm groups at 50 meters. My CZ 452 Varmint will easily do this with Power Points, but the Lithgow can't do it. The rifle's owner has reached the stage where he's ready to call it quits - and this bloke is a former benchrest shooter. The problem is not the nut-behind-the-butt. He's given it a real good try, but just can't get the thing to shoot. Oh and by the way, the trigger is about 3lbs, and that's not great for varminting. My two cents worth? I wouldn't buy one.

mine is really good shooter and I don't have much shooting experience, this is 5 shot and 10 shot at 50 meters, the ammo is CCI SV, I am happy with the crossover, kind of thinking sell my Anschutz

5 shot at 50m

Gee I wish mine could do that, cant wait for the next time out.

I believe you will get the similar result, few of my friends got the crossover and all good, this is my friend's and the first time shooting, 10 shot 50m, not sure what ammo used

That's 10 rounds at 50 metres.. Whilst I have issues with feeding. Accuracy has been excellent.
That was with eley sport rounds

[rsj223]

Very nice, haven't seen that ammo in any of my LGS

[Wylie27]

I usually use eley club, but my local and range were out and this all they had.

[rsj223]

Is the club ammo the same, so spewing got my car in bits with about another hour to finish, dont think I can make it to range for another week.

[Wylie27]

I found the club ammo is about the same for me. I did notice a couple of flyers with the sport that I didn't get with the club.

I bought a 1000 rounds of sport and overall it performed almost as good

Bugger about the car.

Was at the range on Friday night giving the two pistols a work out

[rsj223]

Car back on the road, with all those nice groups what scope and size?

[Wylie27]

For me
50 metre indoor range
Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40
Bipod
No rear bag.

Did this last night with my crossover. First time in a couple of months I have shot it. 10 round in the 10 ring.

I was using Eley Club this time.

[rsj223]

Well done, wish I had a indoor range close by

[Wylie27]

Thanks. When it performs like that it's hard to be angry at it lol.

This was my first shot of the night. I thought about packing up and going home

Had a short day out on a property and after 15 shots it started again.
These were shot on a plastic fold up table+bi pod and a rolled up towel, And with the new scope it should be great next time at a range.

[Wylie27]

s**t RSJ,

I will have to try sk rifle match.

Sucks about the stove piping. I don't know what to do with mine. Live with it, sell it or lose it for another 3 months

[rsj223]

I've sent them another email but I dont expect much, will give it a good hard run in a few weeks at the range.

[rsj223]

This is how I need to fix my problem, they sent me a PDF on how to adjust the follower

[Wylie27]

I got the same email..

I mailed them after you posted your issue here.

No no my friend. You had my rifle in several times. You ain't getting off that easily
