Shot a good bit of “Swamp rats” here in LA as a kid with a BSA Meteor .177. Most under 50 yds.

Looks good - what scope replaced the VX-2?

Pharmseller,

Nutria or muskrats??? I didn't know we had nutria out West.

BTW, just put a T1x on layaway at Sportman's tonight. I think their price was even a little better than the "pre-buy" price here on the 'fire. I was trying to stay strong but a local store put their Hornady 17HMR ammo on sale for $9 a box and I folded like a house of cards! Oh well... looking forward to introducing it to some jackrabbits in 2019!

I see nutria every day. Kilt two yesterday. A big one is as big as a small beaver.

This one was about five pounds. I’ve killed them a lot bigger. This time of year the Bald eagles clean them up pretty quick.

Shipping to me (on a case, 2k) is $17, on par with $9/box of 50.

2k case is 17.75 cents per round, $9/box is 18 cents.

Dang that shipping!

Non-native. They’re all over. I got another one today, lasered 183 yards. CNS, he didn’t even twitch.

I just ordered a case of 2,000 from Wholesale Hunter. $342 shipped. That’s $8.55/box. Not bad.

That’s what I thought. Steady rest, held 3” high. At the shot he just settled flat.

Bi-Mart has 200 round packs of Hornady on sale for $34.97 ($8.75 per box) in their add that came out today. They had it for $7.99 on Black Friday, so I picked up 15 boxes then.

I have the trigger adjusted, the accuracy compared to CZ 452 and 455 is dismal to pathetic. I have tried two scopes , different ammo and it is ridiculously bad. I might end up just trading it to a gunshop just to get rid of it.


I have an RAR in 22LR and 22MAG. Both of them will group their favorite ammo at 1/2 or better at 50 yards. The norm for RAR rimfires is that you will find a very accurate load or two. If your is that bad, send it back. It sucks to have to do that. I have a hard time dumping a defective rifle on someone else.

Picked my T1X .22 up today. Like the sharper molded in checkering on the stock. Much easier to hang on to. 5lb, 13oz. bare rifle. 6lb, 14oz with 10 rounds in the magazine, Outback II can, and Leupold 2.5x8x40 sitting in a pair of 16Bore lowered Talley rings. Yes, the rings are milled a little wide. But they are workable. Had to take 0.055" off the three long screws to clear the bolt raceway. First 10 rounds off hand fed, fired, and ejected without issue. Will try to set up the bench and do target work tomorrow.

Questions: (1) Where can I pick up extra magazine? And are there any 5 round magazines available? (2) Where can I find grip inserts to change up the wrist geometry ? Specifically wondering if there is anything thinner / more open than the stock grip insert. I see the fuller / more closed insert. I did a quick Google search looking for aftermarket parts. However, did not see a lot.

Bi-Mart won’t sell my 18-year-old son a shotgun.

They’ve seen the last of me.

Good thread, yes I don't blame you on that Pharm - that pic above, my bad, was Mistem. Looked like the bottom pic was not a Leupold.- resting on the door handles

Yep, that round def much flatter than that ole BSA smile

Got two more this morning. Lung shot the first one, pretended he was a trophy buck, crosshairs low, tight to the shoulder. He jumped around for a while, then escaped into the creek. CNS (just like everything else) is the only way to prevent escape. Too bad, the bald eagles are really showing up.

This guy made the mistake of swimming by on the surface. Spined him just behind the head, he ceased his forward motion soonest. Note the blood trail.

Up to a dozen or so. Having a blast.

One more at last light. Eighty yards, I wanted the eagles to find him so I put one right behind his ear. Not a twitch.
