Anyone have experience with these .22's? Accuracy, function, dependability, etc....

I've got a Finnfire that I've had for several years. It's got a Leupold 3X9 EFR mounted on it. With ammo it likes it will shoot 5 into one ragged hole at 30 yards. Haven't had any problems with it. I adjusted the factory trigger down to around 2 lbs. Would I buy another? In a heartbeat!!

Thanks guys, much appreciated.
I don't have a Finnfire (yet), but have a chance to pick one up in good condition at a very good price. Was just wondering what those that owned, or had shot them, thought of them...

I've had one for several years,factory bbl. shoots great,but take a couple shots to settle in-not good for squirrel hunting.I also have a Lilja bbl. that shoots extremely well,cold or not,and a .17m2 Green Mountain bbl.that does the same.

I've had a couple, One was the early model with no cheek-piece I bought in 1994, I used this rifle for many years as my main squirrel rifle I loosely kept up with it over the years and I had killed somewhere around 350 squirrels with that rifle before I sold it a few years back. It never failed me one time. I just sold one of the newer models that was almost NIB last week, I liked them both, they were very accurate and I didn't experience any failures whatsoever with either. I think you can occasionally find one NIB on Gunbroker. Good luck..........547.
