Yeah let's have a shout out to Trade Ex's customer service. Very good people to chat with. I'm adding them to my 'will buy from again' list. :)

In firearms customer service makes ALL the difference for me.
 
Bought stuff from them 5 or 6 times and theyre always great to deal with! When I talked to them this morning they said their boss is over in Germany at a shot show, no doubt sourcing some new treats for us.
 
I put about 75 rounds through the rifle today.
No failures to fire or extract. The non-adjustable trigger kind of sneaks up on you, though...................pull, pull, pull......bang. Very light and smooth trigger pull.

That being said, it shoots well at 25 meters. With my 57-year old eyes, groups ran from around 7/8 inch to about 2 inches depending on the ammo. Winchester T-22 did really well, Dynapoint did pretty good. Blazer didn't do as well as I expected, Winchester 525 gave some of the larger groups, Winchester M-22 did the poorest. I have more brands of ammo to try next time. With my luck, the ammo that shoots best will be the one that I have the least of.

I was shooting off an adjustable front rest with bunny-ears bag at the back. Fairly breezy today, so that may have affected the groups.
I would shoot 10 rounds through the rifle to "season" the bore, then 5 rounds for group.

I'm happy with the rifle.

I was expecting significantly more but I like what you posted. Glad you're happy with the rifle!


Can you make a thread with LOTS of pictures and a write up? How are the ergonomics? Weight? How heavy was that trigger? Etc. A lot of us are buying, but there's a fairly large information gap out there on the interwebs. Let's get a "For those who bought the S&L" kind of thread going.

Same for the rest of you. Help the community out and make a mega-thread. I'll contribute when I get mine in 1 week.
 
Trigger is 2 stage, you should be able to take up the first stage slack and feel when the second stage is going to break. You should be able to pause on that second stage and hold until you are ready to fire. 1" at 25m with irons first time out with bulk ammo is impressive.
With aperture sights you line up 3 circles.... Rear sight, front sight, round target. Focus on the front sight and keep everything lined up. You can play with different sized targets, different sized apertures, to get the best target picture for your eyes. I like my target to take up about 90% of the front aperture, the smaller the gap around the target the better for me.
Make sure all your screws are tight too.

I actually left the range today and forgot to retrieve my targets. Don't usually forget.
Next time out, I'll take more ammo variety and the camera.

My rifle is an M-58, non-adjustable trigger. It's been used enough that there's no perceptible pause between takng up the slack and the rifle firing. I just put my cheapo RCBS trigger-scale on it and get a reading of about 12 oz to fire the rifle.

I really like the sights. It came with a 3mm dia. front insert. I was using Shooting Federation of Canada 20 yard .22 sporting rifle targets.
