I tried one from a buddy at my gun club. it. It is a one holer at 50 yds, a nicely designed rifle. The 22 Long Rifle made it great for plinking and for small game. Personnaly I would buy a additional 17 HMR barrel for pest control.
nicely built practical rifle. Sure they're pricey but for one action/registration certificate/base rifle you can have your choice of rimfire calibres. That also means one set of rings and one scope.
I currently have only the .22 magnum barrel and use it excusively for trapping (and incidental small game while out) but have found that the varied ranges I shoot at make it difficult to judge the holdover/holdunder. I think the .17HMR will likely be in my future due to its flatter trajectory and anticipated use on the gopher fields of Saskatchewan in the future.

I shot these groups at about 52 yards (can't remember if it was 51 or 52 on the range finder, but am pretty sure it was 52) with my Quad and American Eagle .22lr copper plated HP ammo. I would not consider myself to be a good shot, and the AE ammo would definitely not be considered target quality.

Not to bad. Is it fussy with ammo, or are the results about the same??
I'm not too sure on that. I tried some others, but can't remember the outcome. I've pretty much only bought AE22 for the last few years. It can be had at a good price and it's worked really well in several .22's I've owned. I thought you would have had one by now.
I experimented a little bit with one-rifle-all-calibers idea. Didn't work well for me, I am sure someone will object but I prefer one rifle for each caliber and have it ready to go, sighted in for ammo of your choice. Your saving nothing by having one receiver and one scope, scopes are cheap as well as receivers. My 0.02
