Until I fiured it out not squat. It's so touchy, I have the adjustable leg in the butt stock. When I realized that It got alot better. I never hold the unit, I perch it, adjust, and merely grasp to control. I'm almost thinking it's alittle much scope. But I guess at that range a person needs it. Accurate? well let me put it this way. Turkey at 200,-------in the head------No problem. the bullets shoot very flat, and through a crono alittle under 4300fps. My only problem is I found even the temp outside make a HUGE diff. So sight in the temp you shoot most. And I wish the barrell was about 6 inches longer. alittle more weight would help make me more stable. Could also be the pistol grip stock. It's the only rifle I have with that. It's an interesting sound. You can tell it's a superfast bullet. the crack is so crisp.

Cool! can you guys use sound moderators? I have Reflex T8 on my .243 it cuts the recoil to .22lr levels and the noise! Its real nice to see the bullets strike even on 18*
You can pop 3 or 4 deer out of the bunch before they decide to head for the hills!


Nah mate. Silencers/moderators are illegal. There has been talk of legalising them again in Tasmania but I doubt that'll happen. They have a big problem with wallabies on small farm allotments where one loud shot and they tend to run (hop!) away. Silencers would allow a far better kill rate!
Anyone with a lathe and half a brain can make one up - I might have... not. Maybe. Good on a .22LR with subsonics, or so I've heard :)
 
Not me...howevah

thought it mite add some color to the thread. When not in the 45 acre woodlot we have, am attending to our chix & sheep.

I gather someone sued the police for their loss of hearing because they would not allow moderators. The guy won and now they encorage us to use them!
On a Ruger 10/22 with subbies the mech makes more noise than the bullet! Its works better in a way on the semi auto as the rabbits cant seem to place the noise like racking a bolt on a normal rifle they seem to hear that and run.

.22lr are not above the speed of sound at 100yards ish and they seem inacurate when they change to subsonic so i just stick to them.
The 17HMR is fun but the bullets are expensive here and not very good in any wind!
 
My silenced French Unique X51 BIS semi-auto used to put 5 Eley subsonics into less than halv an inch at 50 metres off a sand-bag (mostly 8-9mm) - it did about the same with some higher speed ammo as well, without the silencer (RWS if memory serves).

I don't think a 10/22 can do that........

You haven't seen some of the kits you can get for the 10/22 in the US!
I had one, lost it in the buyback after the Port Arthur massacre.

I had mine at the indoor 20M range and with winchester subsonic hollowpoints it would break the 8 ring.
With Eley Tenex you could decide which side of the dot in the 10 ring you wanted to hit!
Headshots on rabbits at 50 yards is not a problem.
The higher speed ammo was fine until you pushed them out a bit, Accurate enough at 80 yds but at 120 not good.
The face of the bolt was thinned down to min headspace and the trigger lightened to 2 1/4 lbs from 6 lbs!!!

Yep you can get more bolt on bits for the 10/22 and the Remmie 700 than any other rifle (maybe the AR has more?)
