Lithgow Crossover Timber .22

[AusTac]

I've only pushed it out to 100 once a while ago but i was happy with it, i think it was within 2" during ammo trials at my usual distance of 70m i can get clover leafing with sk magazine/rws high velocity

What about you?

[rsj223]

Wow, for me nothing like that
The first is 25 second at 50, 100 was bigger than a dinner plate, there are some more at 50 but not much better

[AusTac]

The rws group is spot on! But yeah the fundementals really come into play and the weather has to be practically perfect to try and group decently at 100, i assume you use the mag to shoot groups?

I found top loading to be a little more accurate, key word being a little lol but i noticed the noses of the projectile getting a bit banged up during loading just enough i assume to throw it that little bit off balance

[rsj223]

Yeah still used the mag, tried it on two different days one very windy and the other fairly still but didn't notice much difference, the RWS in the pic are High velocity, tried RWS Rifle match and they were a bit better

[Wylie27]

October long weekend, I took it to the farm and pushed it out to 200m shooting a 4inch steel plate.

From memory I was holding about 6 feet about the plate to hit it.

No pics unfortunately

Yeah huge hold but at least your hitting the plate

[Wylie27]

It felt like an eternity from the bang to the plink. Lol

Wondering if you missed the whole time

[rsj223]

Still no answer for over a week now, sent email tonight will see what happens dont think I should be the one chasing.

[Wylie27]

Rsj agreed. I sent an email yesterday. I was told I would be updated by last Friday..

Getting frustrated now.

[RoginaJack]

I'm still waiting for the release of the 22WMR in LH and I've received this very prompt reply this morning -

Thanks for your email.

We haven’t released the .22WMR at all just yet. Like the .22LR we anticipate to release a .22WMR after the initial RH release. Anticipate Quarter 1 2016 at this stage for the LH in polymer stock.

Kind Regards,

Ben

Nope, you shouldn't.

That's how "customer service" works here too often though

[Gwion]

Was told in email earlier this year that the 223 & 308 would be out before other rimfire chamberings.

[XRMATE]

223, 243 & 308 are due for release March.

[rsj223]

Yep there on Oz gun sales, but in cerakote I thought the ones at the show were stainless.

Got this today,
Your rifle is currently undergoing a full inspection, measurement and investigation to determine the cause of the issues you experienced. Upon completion of this process, your stock will be fitted with a new barrel and receiver, tested for function and accuracy and returned as previously discussed.

[XRMATE]

I think there all cerakoted, the stainless being titanium finish, someone else may know more

[rsj223]

I think there all cerakoted, the stainless being titanium finish, someone else may know more

I was fairly positive the ones at the show were stainless, hope someone chimes in

Yep I thought I seen stainless.

[OODAH]

Looks the goods in stainless!

[Wes]

Normally I'd prefer the blued combo but the stainless looks good there.

[AusTac]

Rsj223 - have you heard anything further about your lithy being returned?

I received a very blunt reply this morning after further chasing up a email i sent on monday asking for a update, the've had it for 3 weeks and its still with the testing team and they say that they're waiting on a part from the manufacturing tea and no eta can be given.. been without my rifle for a month and its not filling me with confidence

I wonder what was wrong with your receiver?

[rsj223]

Nothing since that last pile of dribble, thinking of telling them give it back this week or refund as I will go to fair trade? very over getting a new rifle and not being able to use it

[Wylie27]

Rsj,

I know how you feel mate. Nothing for 15 days from them despite several attempts of contacting them..

[rsj223]

Was at the LGS today and he said he might give them a shake up.

[la101]

It's a shame a few of you guys have had troubles with the la101. I had a few feeding issues using a cz 10 round polymer mag and 42 grain Winchester power points. I found if I kept a slight amount of upward pressure on the mag it fed perfect every round. I have gone back to the stock 5 round magazine and not had a single issue with feeding since.

Did you try different types of ammo at all?

[AusTac]

I've tried every type of ammo i could get my hands on and it still failed to feed on the last round so thought id get it sorted while under warranty

[sandgroperbill]

I've started seeing ads taking pre-orders of the LA-102. I'm wondering if they're not treating warranty as a low priority while they try to get the first LA-102 shipments complete. I definitely hope not.

[Wylie27]

La101, so you think it is ok for a $1000 rifle that you have to hold the magazine at certain angle to ensure it feeds properly...

I certainly don't... I love the rifle. This however is not acceptable..

Nope and thats why mine went straight back there should be zero problems, mine also had an issue at shooting a very large dinner plate at 100mtr oh and every different ammo I could find went through it
