R-55 T/C benchmark ?

[super7]

SIR's website is now listing 2 T/C benchmarks, the classic one as well as an R-55. What's the difference?

I have a classic for sale here in the EE... Save yourself some money...

(what a shameless plug)

Anybody know?

R55 is .17 Mach2

The R55 style takes over both the classic and the benchmark as there were desing flaws in the old ones where the extractor wore out a grove in the revievers and caused all kinds of problem in feeding and extraction. Check it out at rimfire central.

The R-55 design (internals) will be replacing the Classic design. It will be available in 22 lr in all three models.
