Battue.
That's plenty good shooting considering the weight of the rifle.
What exactly don't you like about it being a repeater?
Any feeding issues?

No feeding issues, just that I'm not in that big of hurry. Just as easy to feed a round into the chamber and shoot as it is to remove, fill and insert the magazine. No big deal, but I will use it as a single shot most of the time. I'm sure the magazine will be an advantage when using for squirrels, but again no big deal.
Have 4 groups I shot with it today. Will post late this evening when I get home.

I've had a Ruger 77 for about 8 years and it has not failed to feed a single round. I have pulled the magazine apart and oiled and tightened the tension spring - not that it really needed it.

Here are four groups it shot today, 50yards. Three are 5shots and the lower right is 6shots. Now there are many .22lr rifles out there that with the right ammo will do as good or better. However, these are just an indication that Mr. Forbes is making a pretty good .22lr. Is it bullet proof? Time will tell. ![[Linked Image]](http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff242/toby0223/005-1.jpg)

I've had trouble with them all. I thinke the 10-22 has given the least.

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I have owned more mid-price and high end rimfire bolt action rifles than I care to recall and in My experience have noticed that it's not uncommon for these $1000+ rifles to have functioning issues, it might be feeding, extraction or ejection but it seems every time I invest My money in a new rifle it has issues of some sort or another, My latest headache is a very expensive Cooper Mod 57M, at $1450.00 you would think the thing would at least be able to feed the last cartridge out of the magazine without jamming, but evidently I'm expecting too much cause it can't, My last headache before the Cooper was a brand new Weatherby Mk XXII (Anschutz 1416) that half the time couldn't even eject a spent case, it would just flip the case straight up and more times than not it would settle in the ejection port and cause a jam when I try to feed the next round out of the mag, this was My 5th try with the 64 action so I knew going in that the 64 was a notoriously bad ejector, it had been several years since my last try at one of these and I had hoped that Anschutz had dealt with this problem by now, wrong!. I have owned Kimber rifles (both Oregon and New york) three CZ 452's, all of these rifles had ejection problems. I have owned a few Sako finnfire and a couple Quad rifles and never really had any issues but I just learned recently that Beretta (in all their wisdom) decided not to import the Sako Quads anymore. What I'd like to have is rather simple, in My opinion anyway, I want a super accurate bolt action rimfire that simply does it's job and functions without issues. I'd like to read some opinions on this subject, maybe I can get some kind of consensus as to what I might try next.......Thanks VaHillbilly. If you like the high end rifles try the Anschutz 1717D. This rifle will not feed hollowpoints however. I have an early version. I've never had any other problem with mine in any way. The SAKO Quad has had extraction problems for me. I own the four barrel version. My son has a Ruger with no problems whatsoever as well.

I can't get any of the high end .22s to feed, extract, or eject on a regular basis. I wish I could.

I would imagine that the Anschutz 54 action rifles are very good functioning guns, the only Anschutz rifles I have owned had the 64 action and they didn't function worth a damn, I've owned 5 1416's that I can remember and not one would eject a case reliably, a few were very accurate though.....I agree on the excellent dependability of the Ruger 77/22 I have also owned several of these with no functioning issues whatsoever, but I never had one that I would call a real Shooter either.............Hillbilly.

The usually need an aftermarket barrel. I wish GM would start making the sporter weight barrels again.

Gotta stick with my CZ453 American. Not ugly -- functions flawlessly -- shoots like a laser guided missle. And it doesn't break the bank.

Sounds like You found one You really like, congrats!........I had a few CZ 452 Americans and they shot fair but both had ejection issues, I now have a 455 on layaway at a gun shop so I haven't given up on CZ yet, I'll no more in a couple weeks when I get this new rifle out of layaway and on the range............Hillbilly.
