Check out the avg. 10-shot CTC groupings at 50 yards.  Oh, yeah!  She loves a steady diet of Wolf Match target.

Damn, Tommy, that thing is REALLY ugly!  I think you should send it to me immediately for proper disposal, wouldn't want to bury that thing close to home, you know ;-).  Now would you please stop posting this stuff, I'm having enough trouble with airguns without thinking about playing with powder burners.  Seriously, pal, nice piece, I love the 10/22 and hope to build my own some day.  Later.

Great lookin rifle! Mine (and all my other .22's) LOVE Wolf MT.  It's loads cheaper than Lapua or Eley and shoots just as good!

Hey Tommy, Great pics of a nice 10/22, I remember it from last  shoot... even sweeter in real life:) Do those mounts look tight to you? hehe. Regards, Tony

Tommy, what's the straight trigger do for you..  Seems to me, looking at it, that you could get a better trigger pull like that (finger wouldn't want to roll as much).  Normal triggers must be rounded like that for some reason but I'm trying to wrap my head around why...

With a very light trigger pull, and with a pistol grip style stock, I tend to rest my trigger finger on the bottom of the trigger guard before I pull the trigger.  The tactile feedback from touching the bottom of the trigger guard makes very subtle movement of the trigger finger easier to control, it keeps the trigger finger in exactly the same position relative to the trigger blade, and the straight blade makes for better flat contact with the center of the pad of the finger and better mechanical leverage pulling the trigger straight back . . .

and besides, it looks $exy, don't you think?

Good point indeed TCups, ...

yeah, I like to pull the bottom of the trigger as well - but being rounded and pointed on the end doesn't help..  Sure is eye catching too :)

Did you check the PDF file?  It has the chrony data and the group sizes.

wow..   wow!

I guess at $4.50/box, that wolf target would be the way to go!   Nice rifle :)
