I've got one in .22 from the mid-80's. It only had cci mini-mags and bulk ammo through it and it shoots both equally well.
It's been awhile and I haven't shot paper with it since probably the 80's, but I used to shoot bottle caps at 50 yards with it.
I need to did it back out and see what it can do with some good ammo. I so wish it had come with a threaded barrel.

I have it's twin with a Zeiss mounted on it.. and I feel the same about parting with it
22 K-Hornet is better…. It actually has a sharp shoulder that makes the brass last for many, many reloads. Regular Hornets have such a long slope to the shoulder the brass stretches crazy quick. Not so with the K-Hornet.
I found that fire-forming regular Hornet brass is as easy as shooting it once…. But you have to anneal the brass first or it has a tendency to crack. That's pretty easy, too. Just heat the neck to just shy of cherry red using a drill and 3/8" socket to turn it for a few seconds in a propane flame. Drop it into a pail of water, and viola…. Dry it, load it, shoot it, you have K-Hornet brass.
I have it in an TC Encore barrel. My favorite caliber.

Very nice collection !
What u talking about?Never seen a 22HMR before
I've sent mine to Connecticut Precision Chambering for the crown and bolt work. I also had the stock bedded in Seymour by Shultz.
I'm probably getting ready to send it back to CPC to have it reamed to K Hornet unless I can find someone in Tennessee reputable. No luck so far.
Nice!

I've got a zerotech 3-12x44 on the way for mine, can't wait to get some better glass on it
If it ain't broke don't fix it. Mine was accurate but sometimes threw a flyer. Biggest issue is finding ammo and k hornet brass seems to last a lot longer for reloading.

I've got the same one as TIGGREM2 in 22mag. Indestructible and goes everywhere with me on the farm.

While not as classy as the m77, the ruger american 8352 (22 wmr) are nice built rifles and shoot great.
