Rimfire

The Summit 17 WSM model has a straight-pull bolt action that distinguishes it from other offerings on the market. This rifle features a stainless steel action, Ruger 6-round rotary mags, and a Volquartsen Laminated Wood Sporter Stock to name the most notable features. Also, there will be models available with either an I-fluted stainless steel barrel, or lightweight THM tension barrel (carbon fiber).

There are 2 models available, one is a braced pistol and the other is a rifle. Kriss calls them the Vector 22 SDP-SB and Vector 22 CRB respectively. The only difference between the two is the length of barrel and forend, as well as the pistol having an SB Tactical SBX-K brace vs. a rifle stock.

Ruger is launching two new pistols that are guaranteed to be crowd-pleasers, the new Ruger LCP II in .22 Long Rifle and the new Ruger-57 in 5.7x28mm.

The Wrangler is NOT a cheap gun. It is, however, a well-engineered gun that makes use of materials and engineering that keeps the costs down so anyone (everyone?) can roll tin cans and slay steel (or pot a squirrel or two) with impunity!

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that the Taurus TX22 may have eclipsed all other budget-friendly training handguns in this category. Released earlier this year, the TX22 holds 16 rounds in each double-stacked magazine, is insanely comfortable to shoot, maintains reliability after hundreds of rounds, and has a great trigger, to boot.

Spanning six decades of rigorous use and counting, the Bearcat has carved a name for itself as an All-American rimfire six-shooter.

The KelTec CP33 was one of the most hyped product of SHOT Show 2019 and I couldn’t help but fall into the excitement. However, I was a bit skeptical about its reliability with the radical quad stack magazine design. That said, I want to kill any doubts that you may have because I found this pistol to be extremely reliable, run any ammunition and it was easy to load. This gun quickly became a favorite of mine to bring to the range, take out varmint shooting and just carry around in the pickup for impromptu target practice.

Wind calls, trajectory compensation, trigger control, and even the basic shooting form can be practiced and polished by using nothing more than a simple .22 rimfire.

I am relatively new to the .17 HMR cartridge. When it debuted in 2002, I was guilty of downplaying its effectiveness. Most of my life, Uncle Sugar bought me all the centerfire rounds a growing boy could want, so I didn’t have to worry about training ammo. Now that I have to buy my own [...]
