Its reminds me of a biathalon type action. The 22lr is very easy to manipulte with your finger or thumb. This 22magnum is quite abit stiffer i only shot it a couple times so far. Seems to me the feediing of the longer shell takes some additional push. Il pickup some ammo this week and give it a good workout a post some results.Thanks for the quick response, DJ! So it is a "toggle" bolt, so to speak? Kinda like a Luger pistol? Sort of?
Im not sure about which 22s the 22lr can use. Mine is just 22mag.That's a lot of moving parts and things.
Will it take 22 shorts too?
Thanks Ross. I will say the 22wmr is more than enough when properly employed. There is so much debate and down right fighting many say .223 not enough gun must be .30 or better etc... I would simply say if you know your quarry anatomy and know your ability 100% and only take a proper shot having discipline to pass if its not right its plenty. Ballistics wise some can chime in better kniwledge but id say at 100 yds its in ball park of 223 at maybe 300yds which is well within its lethal range. At night with night gear i try to be around 50 yds anyway with 100 being about max for field conditions and taking a clean kill shot. If i cant get clean shot my finger doesnt touch trigger they get the win and i return another day. Chunking bullets center mass in that direction for a hit doesnt interst me. Now pure eradicating sounders on say peanut fields damage thats sometimes different game.Dang!!! I've never considered .22 anything as being suitable on hogs, my perspective is changed;
Nice shot!
Yes its the ATn trident pro 2+ i have had long as far a night vision goes. Its been a real workhorse and worth every penny. I dont think they even make this anymore. Theres newer tech now but this is still serving me well. It came with a good ir illumintor but honestly never needed it even on cloudest nights now more ambient stars moon etc better the clarity of course. The lense cover works fine for a day shot or sighting in not as clear as at night without but it works. Ive used some newer more expensive to include thermal gear and they were very nice but this one has been used hard and still doing the job for me. I caught alot of grief over this purchase back when from the former wife but like they say buy once cry once shes gone its syill here. LolI need a better scope something like what you've got or similar.
As is I can enough at 100 yards to estimate size and distance. I'm certain I'm 2" accurate under those conditions, but I can't see enough detail for shots like what you made on that hog. Is that the ATN scope? I think you already answered that. I've been looking at a sightmark photon.
