Anyone have any feedback on these straight pull rimfires ?

They get talked up by my local guy.

I was looking at one a while ago now in 17HMR, he reckons one of his regulars bought the same and was shooting a fingernail size group at 100m.

So he tells me, didn't see the targets myself.

Happy T-Bolt owner right here with a .22LR.

I have read a few conflicting reviews though. Mines been good so I can't say with authority as I didn't really look into it... Read the bad reviews after I had mine.

I believe they are made in 2 different places, one in the US and one somewhere else over seas *I think*.

It was so long ago I can't remember how you tell which one, but one half of the supply wasn't so good according to other shooters.

They may be fine rifles but the price is asking too much for my liking.

For a Browning rimfire anyway. For $200 more you can get an Anschutz, and you know that's going to shoot.

Just ordered the Target/Varmint in .17HMR.

The 10 round mag is what convinced me, I'm not paying for an Anschutz with a 4 or 5 round mag when the spare mags are $170.

No offence, ha ha, just personal opinion. Once I get it ill do up a review.
I really hope Export isn't actually Exported, mighty embarrassing for WA, hahaha I'll still drink it though

You're definitely not the only one who thinks the Anschutz magazines are a rip...

Buy a top shelf rifle, expect expensive accessories I guess.

I'm sure you knew that when you bought a $1,400 22LR.

I got the heavy barrel and beavertail stock combo so it was one of the more expensive ones as far as a .22 goes, yeah. I think I actually paid $1,250 for mine, not $1,400 but still...

If you get the sporter barrel and stock it's a bit less.
