“rimfires”

Bergara has announced a new addition to its extensive rifle lineup: the Bergara Micro Rimfire (BMR). Available in .22 LR, .17 HMR and .22 WMR, the BMR incorporates the same coveted features found on Bergara rimfires, simply on a smaller scale.

The new Thompson/Center T/CR22 is one very useful rifle. Its design should appeal to millennials and baby boomers alike, and several of its features build on the strengths that attract hunters to rimfires.

The world has been awash in .22 Long Rifle rimfires for decades, but few have been built as solidly as the new CZ 455 Varmint Thumbhole Fluted bolt-action. This “little twenty-two” is hefty, a “real” rifle with real rifle feel and performance to match.

The New Original Henry Rifle is true to Henry’s 1860 patterns and patents, and virtually identical aside from adjustments required to adapt to the .44-40 Win. and .45 Colt centerfire rounds that replaced the long-obsolete rimfires.

CCI’s new Clean-22 Hyper Velocity clocks in at 1550 fps, while the advanced polymer coating on the 31-grain lead round-nose bullet reduces fouling, especially in suppressed rimfires.

The Question: Will Dryfiring Your Rimfire Damage It?

The Question: “Why is my .22 ‘Key holing’?” A good friend sent me that query via email recently. It seems that his Walther P-22 was sending bullets tumbling downrange with each pull of the trigger.
