If you happen to have any feeding issues don't stress because it's likely only a magazine problem and you have a few options; a) send the magazine back to Lithgow in the mail (but register the warranty claim online first) and they'll mail you back a replacement free of charge. They are very helpful. b) pick yourself up a CZ magazine in the interim; they work perfectly in the LA101.. Actually IMO the 5-shot poly CZ mags are the best, the steel ones tend to rust. And the 5-shot is ideal because it sits flush with the bottom of the rifle, right where you balance the rifle for standing offhand.
Mine's shooting like a dream now; without a doubt my favorite rifle. You can really feel the Austrian influence in them; weird looking things, but they're more like a target rifle than a hunting rifle and for the purpose they are designed perfectly.
Thanks for the info re warranty,good stuff!
Mag info is greatly appreciated as well.I was eying of metal cz mags.Have you tried any ten round mags or even that evil 25 round "assault" mag? Was thinking of extra cap options just for the range, 5 is more than enough for hunting and i agree, i do like the flush fit better myself.
They are a strange beast! I really wanted a more traditional "hunting" pattern 22, like a Brno or CZ.But given that the Brno i had lined up fell through and i will spend most of my time shooting paper and steel a rifle that leans towards the target side of things makes more sense. Don't get me wrong, i am a hunter, but its not my main goal in shooting. Im working my way towards LRPS
Cant wait for stupid 28 day period to finish! So silly when you look at the time it takes prior to getting your PTA, as if another 28 days is needed after months to get to this stage!
Before anybody looks at price and thinks it was $20, I WISH, there's a couple of ones (that didn't show in picture) in-front! Some say they are expensive/overpriced but considering i have more money in my favorite ultra light spinning outfit so by comparison I consider it great value!
