My Lithgow is a fine rifle and the feed issues are very easily sorted- I too have only had an issue with an aftermarket magazine .
I also choose to buy my kids and grandkids a job and buy Australian products wherever and whenever possible.
Funnily enough the LA101 seems to be thought of as a premium product in Europe and the US.
There's plenty of baggers out there on everything you can think of and this rifle seems to cop more than its fair share in my opinion.
People buying Tikka T1x's and then spending hundreds of dollars restocking them and other mods to get the weight and quality feel of a Lithgow at then more than the price of one has me scratching my head- but it is their money not mine !
RWS subsonic seems to shoot well with many LA101 owners.
I also use federal premium hunter match as well and it works well.
I use the rifle in a rural application and have been very impressed with accuracy and reliability- and also how practical and hard wearing both the cerakote barrel and synthetic stock have coped- It has been a bit of a revelation.
On a side note mucked around with some CCI "quiet" 22LR last weekend.
Truly a very limited use ammo but was amazed at just how "quiet " it is.
Indian Myna birds beware !

Mine stays in the safe though as I prefer my CZ as it shoots anything well whereas the 101 is very fussy. Mine has feed issues and I know it's an easy fix but at $1050 for a .22 it should not happen and was/is a real disappointment in what is otherwise an extremely well engineered and finished rifle. I think they also need to look into the magazine well and make it a little more snug as the mags are fairly loose and this may be a factor in the feed issues.
