only complaint about the rifle was cases got hung up on the edge of the chamber during feeding . had to manipulate the case with a pen to get the edge of the case to start in the chamber . got better with use, but a little debur job with the dremel . ejection was flawless . flinged cases far and wide aside from that it's a very consistant, smooth , good qaulity rifle. happy with my hw60 weihrauch
scope wise , the 3-9x40 leupold rimfire scope came in handy with the ballistic plex for 50gn federal hp's . these grouped around a inch too
now clean the rifle and then have beers

i've got a weihrauch 60j in 22 mag coming . bit more zap than a 22lr with a little more range . i'm starting to like rimfires more as i'm getting tired of reloading . moved on my 222 for a tikka t3x . three different types of factory ammo in that rifle shoot under .75" . why reload ?
so i've got this 22mag coming , intended use is a rabbit/fox/cat rifle , walking or with light at night . it won't have the range of a hornet , but load, fire, "forget about brass", sounds very no fuss for me. i like the idea of the heavier projectile compared to the 17hmr . some of the new 22mag ammo is much more accurate than in times past
so do any of you fellas have any opinions or views to share on the 22mag ?

I had a super little .22mag a Win Model 9422. Given that it was lever action, short barrel, and not match ammo it would shoot 1" groups with care mostly a little above that.
Like a dill i sold it to fund my son to an outward bound camp.
If Winchester or the Japanese counterpart that makes so many very fine rifles were to take it up again its my guess they would be running overtime shifts to keep up with demand.
