T/c r55

[bluezdog]

Just picked up a new tc r55. The gun looks great but, havn't shot it yet, so I'm just itching to take it to the range and shoot it silly. I heard not to shoot stinger ammo threw it (in fact the owners manual states that aswell). I was hoping to hear from all the r55 owners to get as much feedback as I can on past experiences before I start using it as if I hated it. What ammo would you use?,is high velocity better that lower and why?, any scope recommendations?, does anybody know of any aftermarket parts for them( to trick them out), etc, etc,.
Any useful info would be greatly appretiated. Hoping to hear from all.
THANKS

Hmmm,
Everything made at T/C's factory.
What retailers carry them?
Also do they accept all 10/22 accessories?

Leupold makes a one piece steel base for them.
There are not really any aftermarket parts, they are not necessary either.

The trigger is usually horrible though
