22lr Trainers

[Esq.]

Awesome that you're getting good performance with Eley CMP bulk.
My T1X definitely prefers Tenex and SK Biathlon Sport. The SK isn't too bad at $0.13 each, but half that would be great!

It's not as competitive as "really good ammo"....but I'm satisfied with the combination. Some day I may re barrel the rifle, Lija and Krieger make barrels I believe. I have shot some RWS, WOLF, TENEX, MIDAS etc from the rifle but not enough to really develop data for it. With te Eley I have data to 500 yards, I've shot a full case of it through the gun...

Trainers?

Here's a trainer of a different sort.

Smith 15-22 that I converted to LE6920 spec.

Very cool rig you got. Love the carry handles.

I did the same thing, I put a damn SSA trigger and aimpoint and surefire can. Stupid, twice as much money in parts and pieces as gun. But its nice.

While I save for my build I'm going to practice with our CZ 455.

That is a good idea. There is a lot of discussion over on The Hide that 22s may go through a generational change in the next year or so. Faster twists than the 1:16 standard, new people making repeating actions for the R700 foot print, new potential ammo. It may be a game changer in the +200yrd 22lr technology. CZ455 with a good trigger is hard to beat...

Just ordered my Tikka T1x. Finally. My LGS says it might take 4 weeks to get to me even though it's in stock at their warehouses. Oh well, it will give me time to decide on what optic. There seems to be a lot of love for the 5-20 Weaver GS on Rimfire Central for that price point. Still weighing the options.

There are so many great scope options out there. From stuff that mimics your centerfire closely, to just good scopes for pretty good prices. And as we get more generations of scopes the older ones on the used market are great values too.

I just got my T1x together yesterday. I've been planning an entry into the 22LR market for a while both as a trainer for my larger rifles and a competition gun in its own right for NRL22 stuff.

Thats a bad bad boy. I should shoot my 22's more. I have several nice 22's and almost never shoot them. Shoot that biggin!

Very nice build! .22s are wonderfully versatile, and you're going to have loads of fun shooting that one!
