JEP Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 So i've got an old cz452 cut down to 12.5" shoots great for a truck gun happily doing pound coins at 50m with eley subs without too much effort. Maybe 1 1/4" ish at 100m. But i've got an itch for a semi for plinking, practise and rabbits. I'm going to be disapointed by anything less accurate than the cz and i want it to fire subs So i had decided on a rimfire magic with the 12.5" VQ barrel and ideally s/h. Just cos you here great reviews about them. However is there anthing else than would tick the above boxes. I dont mind an AR type thing but i do want to keep it short.

terryh Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 If you can find a Thompson R55 they are all steel and shot very well. Think the latest offerings are just a 10/22 by a different name. Nothing wrong with a 10/22 - had a few and built the last one I owned, do shoot and you can do most work on them yourself which is fun. but they are a bit 'pubic' there days 😉 T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Brian had a stainless Laminate and a wood and blued R55 IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Most semi rf rifles are inertia actions and most if not all will struggle to cycle subsonic unless you tune them specifically. once you are aware of that then there is a whole host of semis that will give you fun. Just keep looking til you find one that is the right money and floats your boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 22 semi's can be fussy, I found the best sub-sonic ammo for reliability was Winchester's 42-grain MAX, that extra 2-grains of weight, seems to give a bit more cycling reliability.
