got new scope, Burris rimfire 3-9x40 125 dollars delivered, surprisingly clear and sharp image well worth the money

SK standard plus is always very stable, 10 shot groups at 50m St Mary's indoor shooting range

new SK ammo, flat nose basic and match, feels they got more potentials than standard plus on this rifle, did the test in a hurry also the ammo is for Annie 1416 DKV rather than Ruger rimfire compact :lol: , so just did a 10 shot group, will buy more to do the test later

Wow, nice grouping, great accuracy from one of the Americans, would you recommend one as a 1st rifle?

I think so, for 22lr, I had Zastava, Lithgow 101, savage FVSR, Anschutz 1710 DHB, I have Browning BL-22, Anschutz 1416 DKV and Ruger American compact

I like Ruger a little bite more than others, cheap, light weight, 10/15 round mag, iron sight, reasonable accuracy, it is a very good first firearm / hunting 22 for everybody

Thanks for your feedback mate. It's a big market for the 600-1200 22lr rifles.

Yeah, it's definitely an affordable thing, they seem to be a bit dearer here in SA. I just have a budget of about $1500 so looking at all the options at the moment. Hurry up licence so I can go shoulder some and see how they feel.

Which rings did you pair with the bases? I guess it is scope dependent but it looks nice and snug

Very nice, this little rifle is definitely at the top of my list for a first Rifle, looks to be accurate enough to have some fun at the range and take out a few bunnies. Doing some window shopping looks like the whole set up (rifle, scope, rings, bases, bipod) should only run about 8-900 dollars if I can score a bargain. Thanks for your write up SHV!

Hooley Dooley. Does it improve the cyclability?

a lot :lol:

with the rubber ball, I believe there is no need to buy a lever .22 for fast cycling, no much difference...

2x5 shot SK SP, forgot to bring a pack of SK SP, only 10 round left from last time, will try 6x5 SK standard plus, then try different tension on the action screw (currently set to 25lb front and rear)
