I have a very similar model in 22 Mag with green stock.

I just ordered this model and was wondering if anyone has one and how it is performing.

The features seem perfect for my uses and I like the SS finish.

Headed to my local range to test fire and zero my new American 22LR.

Took my Green stock 22 magnum also to compare groups.




Got it on paper at 25 yards.




Function is smooth with the mag that came with it but not so good with an older mag that I have had for a few years.

Good 1st time out. I will push it out to 50 and 100 next time.

I have the Target model with Laminate wood stock. I shoot mostly hunting ammo, cci, Fed, Aguila and others and after 500 or so rounds it is starting to shoot well. All my groups have been 10 shot groups at 50 and 100 yds(been too windy to go out to 200 yds so far.). CCI Standard velocity did real good at 50 yds but the longer ranges not so good yet. Hopefully I get this thing broke in by spring.

Curious about your green stock 22WMR as I have the same rifle. What scope ring height did you end up going with? I realize the Picatinny rail is 3/8" dove tail but not sure what to do about rings. I'm thinking about going with a Vortex scope this time instead of spending the extra dollars on a Leupold for this rifle. Rifle will be used mostly for calling in fox.
Thanks much,
