So a rifle I ordered some time ago, an Anschutz 64 MP R Multi Purpose in .22 LR. finally arrived but the new to me and rather strange gun store I got it through did not order the 2 spare 5 round magazines I asked them to; they developed some minor amnesia about the agreed-upon price too, but I was too happy to get it to just walk away. (I did learn not to do business with them of course.)
Looking around the internet, I'm not finding anyone offering said 5 round magazines so perhaps the company in Austria doesn't have them either, but does anyone have suggestions as to where I should look? Damned if I want to shoot .22 on targets with just one little 5 R mag but more importantly spares are good things to have as this is to my mind a heritage rifle to be passed down and stuff.
And no matter what, I'm looking forward to days of fun with greatly improved accuracy on targets out to 200 metres, or so some claim. I'll just settle for a rifle that's more accurate than I am, not something that I can say about 10/22s and such, not after a month of shooting anyway. And I chose this particular model because it's dual purpose and good for hunting. It's a little heavier than your average bush .22, but its accuracy will make up for that.
