He has 400 rounds of Armscor ammo that he will include which makes the deal more appealing to me. He told me he bought the rifle off an auction and has not fired it. He is going to take it to the range today and do a function test. I respect that he is doing that, shows responsibility. I’m leaning towards making the deal as the only other offer I have had for my rifle in a month was a Smith M/28 4”. I was interested in the 28 until I saw some pics of it, pretty beat with odd grips on it.
The scope on it is the now discontinued Leupold Mark AR 3-9x40. I have this scope on my Mini 14 and really like it. Forces me to learn about Mil-dot. If I do this trade I’ll move the scope to an AR I have that is wearing the Burris AR-332 magnified red-dot and put a rimfire scope on the CZ.
Al, I stopped into a local shop yesterday and they have the Remington 33 gr on hand for $16 ish. They also had another offering (can’t remember) for around $14 so that’s encourging.
NCG I can’t get any info from him on function other than what he discovers today. Hopefully if he has misfires he will let me know. I tried the tipped bullets when I had my Ruger American wmr and didn’t have much success with them. It really liked the Winchester hollow point, 38 gr as I recall.
Sir Henry, I hear you on the semi-auto, I much prefer levers and bolts. I do have a 10/22 and know exactly what you mean. I’m thinking this wmr will mostly be my ground squirrel gun which will keep the ammo consumption down somewhat (he says with a wink)
Not to go political here so please everybody don’t expand on this but here in Washington State we have a mandatory 10 day waiting period to purchase semi-auto rifles. The law was intended for AR type rifles but all semi’s including 22’s are caught up in it. So if I make this trade the other guy will walk out of the FFL with a bolt rifle in .223 and I will wait 10 days to take a 22 home. Go figure.
Thats a deal on the Remington ammo. Wish I was there I would buy as many as they would sell me. The Hornady ammo vmax shot good in my mag but not like the Remington and the Norma did. Im curious about the 30 gr CCI ammo and if I run across a box I will buy one to try.
Just heard back from the guy and we’re meeting right across the street from the store with the Remington (Bi-mart, a name I know you know Al). If we do the deal I’ll stop and pick some up.
