I will have to look up a topic on RimfireCentral.com to answer that, reliably. Won't be until this pm earliest.
Also, filing the ejector sounds a bit rash: how well will the rifle eject after this?

End of the day if you buy something and you find it's not quite to your liking you can always sell it and try something else.
Good luck with your decision.

you raise a very important point BFS. i have a weihrauch hw66 that's extremely well built and accurate. but i just got my old krico 22 back from the smith's yesterday, and it's a LOT lighter. which was the reason i used to like my cz 452 so much. out in the paddock a light to carry , quick to shoulder 22 is probably more important than one hole accuracy.

Interesting scope - Just read their "About us" comments on the web site - Must admit I've never heard of that brand. Did the mounts and bases come with the rifle?
With basic maintenance, that rifle will last a VERY long time - Very few well built, traditional looking rim fires around these days - You will pay a lot more to buy anything else of that quality.

The Weihrauch shoots really well and didn't give me any issues for the 4 hours I was there. It was quite windy all day and I only took one photo of some of the groups I shot early on, they got tighter as the day went on as I got used to everything. I don't have much experience with shooting so I'm certainly the weakest link at the moment. lol
I'm going out again later this week so I'll see how it all goes.

I notice you said you had no "issues" during the first outing but I'd appreciate a few comments about how you found the overall function of the rifle - Did it feed, extract & eject to your satisfaction? Did you find the bolt lift a little heavy? Did the trigger come adjusted to your liking?
I put just under 6,000 rounds through my two last year - Not one malfunction of any kind and you have to move up to the full on target rim fires to find better triggers than the Weihrauch options.
