What think ye? 22TCM ?

Anything I've ever shot from RI has been most excellent!! SA's are over the top also, right outta the box. Just to pricy for me!

 

The accuracy of the RI at 25 yards was impressive from a handgun. The price on the RI is quite a bit less than the FN 5.7.
I had an FN 5.7 28mm and I couldn't hit squat with it. I guess the trigger reach was to much for me or something. The gun makes you think you are holding a squirt gun it is so light. That was when the 5.7 ammo was scarce and cost upwards to $28 for 50. I sold the gun.
I just checked ammo seek and saw cheapest 22TCm was .36 per round and cheapest 5.7 28mm was 37.7 per round. As fast as these guns can be shot it gets expensive real fast to shoot them.
I am retired so I will pass.

 

I have been paying zero attention... what advantages to either of those rounds have over the .22 Hornet?

 

Didn't Taurus make a Raging version revolver that shot the Hornet?

 

Hmm... I am suspicious of that smiley-with-a-wink. Seems like I have seen a single action revolver .22 Hornet - somewhere on the Net. If so, you would love to have one, Jim, I know you would.

 

Yep... Magnum Research. Here's a link to a review.

"It shoots better hot."

"Weighs 71 ounces"

"Loud, with light recoil"

:goodluck:

Well shucks, now I want one.

 

Yep a gun addict reading reviews on guns is like an alcoholic looking at a whisky ad that tells how smooth it goes down.

 

It's a flash in the pan...only RI makes the ammo and the platform to shoot it.

Just another wildcat that will fall by the wayside... ^^ Like most of the above ^^

 

My first look at the TCM cartridge. One of the short, fat magnums then. I think you are probably right, Shooter13. RI needs a Big Name Brand in the mix.

 

LGS had both the 1911 and bolt rifle. I handled them, the 1911 was all RI, a bit crude but felt solid. The bolt gun was plain, but surprisingly good quality. Good fit and finish, very smooth to work the bolt, and an adjustable trigger that was pretty good out of the box. Only problem was the stock had too much drop. According to the sales guy the 40 gr. TCM should top 2800 fps from the rifle ' s 21 inch barrel. Sounds like a good acreage gun for possum, groundhogs and such, with a matching handgun to boot.

 

A .22 Long Rifle or .22 Magnum could do the same thing...cheaper.

 

Ruger 77/22 WRM and I already have the Single Six... doesn't make my ears tingle and my nose itch though.

About that BFR...

 

I just picked up a 77 in 22WM looking forward to shooting it.

 

Jim, you left out one of my favorite .22 calibers. The 22-250.
