wow thats nice...but quite pricey

i have the new version of the bolt assembly, and i believe they only "pin" the bolt side and the buffer side is still held on by Eclips save yourself the hassle and just keep extra eclips and inspect after every range trip

ive shot way over 1K rounds out of mine all high velocity stuff, and u can already see the eclip on the buffer side is slightly bending time to go to the hardware store :thumb:

a few have reported the failure of E-clips on the bolt...u can pick up those e-clips at your local hardware store, pick up a few and keep it as a spare or send it in to SIG and they will replace it with a lock pin rather than the e-clip (only on one side) eclip lock pin (on the other side) hope that helps, i love this rifle and woul dhate for it to have any "disabilities"

update 6/30/11 Remington 597 45ft 30rds CCI Mini Mags $7 Tasco Scope Sig 522 Federal Lightning 40ft 40rds Tasco Red Dot Sig 522 Rem TB 40ft 40rds Tasco Red Dot today i got to experience first hand that the "shooter" does play a big role even in semi-controlled tests, i found the trigger pull on the Rem 597 to be on the "heavy" side hence my poor shot placement and groupings also, with the Sig, shooting a red dot 1x scope proved to be quite challenging, and with the REM TB i took more time to get the shots to get tighter and towards the middle of the target with the SIG, all fed perfect, no issues with the remington, having new mags, if i fill it with 8 or more rounds the rifle will have FTF, a couple of misfires and thats about it any questions, comments or test request please feel free to let me know i didnt have a chance to shoot the STINGERS cus i wasnt able to get more ammo, didnt have enough time..will set that up for the next shoot!

wood will be less popular but IMHO its not going anywhere AK47, hi-end shotguns and rifles, will all still bare some kind of wood and i got one of these, would look ugly if it was polymer

got more to add, including the Federal Lightnings

i personally have not shot a 22lr at over 50yds yet, but when i do i will try my best to put some data together for comparison im not an ammo buff so i will just shoot the stuff, give u the scenario and you guys/gals can draw your own conclusion :) thanks

i thought some of the black rifles werent supposed to shoot subsonics cus it may not cycle properly? i guess i will also give that a try :grin:

yes it did and it had no issues :beer: advice that was given to me by one of my local FFL employees was to always break my rimfire firearms with CCI Mini Mags...and after a few hundred rounds the guns should pretty much feed anything, and i also figured yea it cost more but its a chance im willing to take, i dont think feeding your gun with higher quality ammo would ever hurt it 8) overall i was happy with the results...i really need to get a bench rest tho, my arms were getting tired

as i mentioned on another thread, i was seeking to see how reliable and accurate the CCI Blazers were, in order to do so i also picked up a few rounds of CCI Mini Mags (the pinnacle) and Remington Thunderbolts (another cheap bulk ammo) to chalk up some comparisons im not that technical of a guy so i kept it simple, loaded both my ruger 10/22 that only upgrade consist of an aftermarket AA deluxe target stock and a simmons 22 mag scope and my sig 522 classic factory stock, BDM mags and cheap TASCO red dot scope targets are 50ft slow fire NRA pistol targets set at approx 45ft, no bench rest, i simple rested my left elbow on the counter the rest is off hand 522/CCI-MM/45ft/40rds 522/Rem-Tb/45ft/40rds 522/CCI-BZ/45ft/40rds on the above test there were no malfunctions of any kind...all ran and fired 10-22/CCI-BZ/45ft/30rds 10-22/Rem-Tb/45ft/30rds 10-22/CCI-MM/45ft/30rds on this test the Blazers ran flawlessly, the Mini Mags had 1 FTF (the cartridge bent as it was going up the feed ramp), and one misfire from the Rem. Thunderbolts in conclusion, the Mini Mags is still top notch as far as quality 22lr ammo is concerned and that the CCI Blazers are damn near perfect, esp for its price point...it still remains my favorite bulk load, although i though i would be disappointed at the "lower" quality thunderbolts, i was still quite happy with its performance, esp for plinking purposes, any of these will do the job one just better than others thanks for looking

the tight fit on the magwell from my observation came from the coating on the upper reciever where the mag would get stuck and not drop free, so instead of modifying numerous mags to fit, i went ahead and sanded down the black finish inside and all fits well now :D

is this pretty much a dressed up Colt/Umarex? same lower receiver? accepts standard ar-15/.22lr mags? sorry late to the party but i think my next tactical 22 will be ar-15 based and i am just tryin to figure out which one to get thanks

keep us psoted, wanted to go with 15-22 but the proprietary mags is turning me off...

gotcha thanks
