Seems they are all having stock issues, as in "sold the last of that YESTERDAY!!!! Hopefully the Eley, RWS or old faithful CCI subs will be suitable. 22LR rifles are so fickle.
Yes, I did have to sacrifice some weight, but I think I did the right thing. Handling, in the field I will be shooting out of a window or from a hide or rest. If I have to walk, it wont be too far. I've played with the trigger, not so "stiff" anymore, range will tell. Happy that it feeds on a variety of ammo. In the end if its too heavy, I can change the barrel out to a sporter weight, even a 17HMR if I wanted. Not yet.....jwai86 wrote:Is the weight and handling to your satisfaction?

I ended up going with the Lithgow LA101, and my partner the Tikka T1X, she found the Lithgow a bit on the heavy side for her, so great we didn't just go in blind with 2xLA101s. For scopes we decided just to buy local at the same time and went with the Vortex Diamondback 4-16x44 in MOA. Unfortunately, won't be able to get out to the range for another week but really looking forward to it.
Thanks all for your help with this, made the experience in store much more pleasant having half an idea of what we are looking for
