If these new improved Remington look alikes shoot as well as my Remington 40X Rimfire then these various copycat companies have done something worthwhile.
I paid just under $400.00 for my 40X Rimfire (used) many years ago.
Best of luck to all you rimfire accuracy enthusiasts if your trying one of these.

Had a Rem 40X several years back. In a moment of weakness I let it go down the road. I kick myself everytime I think about it. Although, I always had it in the back of my mind that I wanted a repeater version. I have a Rem 37 and it shoots well, but no where near as well as the 40x. I 'blame' that on the trigger. Just cannot get the 37 trigger where I want it.

I'm watch the precision rimfire market and see how things progress. Vudoo is out there and established in the market. Same cannot be said for the Bergara and RimX. Too many questions and unknowns right now. If I were to bbuy one today (and money grew on trees!), hands down it would be a Vudoo.

As it pertains to your question, I would hazard a guess that we will not see complete rifles/barreled actions for the RimX - at least not from Zermatt (Bighorn). That hasn't been their focus to this point - actions alone have been.


I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
