Lithgow arms la101 22lr

[franktank]

Anyone heard of this rifle available in Canada? Here is a youtube video from 22 plinkster talking about it.

Now this is the kind of 22 that I'd consider buying because the accuracy isn't 5hittty...

 

[Doogs]

its cool but expensive

 

[franktank]

Yeah but when shot placement and discretion is needed for a clean kill, that's priceless...

I paid like 3000$ for a vudoo 22 lr barreled action that’s on its way. A lithgow with stock and trigger on it for 1200 Canadian is not insanely priced. I used my income tax to pay for my vudoo rifle. I have a small income. You can buy this lithgow rifle lol I almost bought one of them. They look good

The Styr Zyphr ll looks interesting also and it will cost about 1200$

These are very nice, but when the price stats to get up to this level, I always start thinking about an Anchutz.

I have a couple of LA101's. My wife's laminated version has had a few upgrades in the way of match chambered stainless barrel, trigger work, bedding etc. My walnut stocked rifle has had trigger work and a touched up crown.
These are rigid, compact actions with a good ignition system.
We shoot these rifles head to head regularly with other reputable German & American rifles - Anschutz 54, Cooper 57M, Weihrauch HW66, Walther KK and a few other customs built on various actions.
All these are sporter type rim fires but I can say that the LA101 build is the most consistently accurate 22 I have had in my possession in over 50 years of collecting rim fires.
Pictures always tell the story better than words.

Thank you for the photos, Allan Harris. Pictures speak a thousand words.

I've not yet seen these rifles in Canada. Is there a dealer selling them?

 

[franktank]

Thanks Allan, now the question is where in Canada can I get one of these...

 

[22forever]

Trigger Wholesale is the Canadian importer for Lithgow. I got my LGS to order one for me last year

 

[45CAT]

Above and there are at least 2 dealers in Canada, one in Cambridge Ont. you could probably order through them. Never hurts to ask, just the price of a phone call for a 1400$ gun it’s cheap

 

[Sakoman .308]

This looks like an excellent rifle indeed, thank you for the pictures Allan.

 

[grauhanen]

Are there none in Canada at this time for sale? They have to be ordered from Australia?

That Hunting Store in Richmond ON had them. Check the dealers forum.

Lithgow are producing these rifles in small numbers so there is a trade off in that the LA101 is supplied with plastic magazines, trigger guards, bolt knob & shroud etc. I've put thousands of rounds through my own un-modified gun and have had zero issues with any of these parts. I use both OEM mags and CZ 5 round metal mags in these rifles.
Like all mid priced 22's, some shoot better than others. My first was about on a par with a 1416DHB I had at the time. The second is very accurate as supplied and my 1710's need to be having a good day to out-shoot it.
Pictured below is the 5 shot group my wife shot from her up-graded LA101 with her first touch of the rifle. I had just put it together, zeroed a Leupold 3-9EFR and she produced that. I've had a number of barrels from the same supplier - All shoot well but this one would do justice to a full on BR rig.
The LA101 receiver is threaded and their "extractor slot" design is somewhat radical.
A few nice after market bits are available in Aus. and these suppliers will usually ship internationally. I know Bob at DIP Products in the US has an LA101 so perhaps he will produce a TG for us one day!

Cool pics, I would love to see one on the 1/2 challenge list.

For the price of a lower end annie I hope they shoot better then a CZ.

Im interested but cant find them.
