I find that weirdly appealing....meles meles wrote:What you needs, ooman, even if you don't realise it yet, is one of these
it's a Russian Izhmash 22 biathlon rifle, available in sporter and target stocks. It's operated by a toggle lock, providing an awesomely fast rate of fire even if you are wearing thick fur mittens. The barrel is hammer forged and match quality: it will group all your rounds in a single ragged hole if you do your part and aren't wheezin' and sneezin' after having just skied umpteen miles.
We have one, and can pop off each of Farmer Giles' 5 waistcoat buttons in under 3 seconds at 50 mards...

Yep - agree about the M1 look but I've heard the Chiappa has a bit of a 'plasticky' feel.GeeRam wrote:Indeed.redcat wrote:Thanks, Adam.

For my 'fun' .22 slot to be filled in the near future, I'm toying with the idea of a Chiappa M1-22 as their timber furniture is interchangeable with original M1 carbine stuff, and a used half decent set of original M1 carbine wood from the USA is a few hundred dollars.......you can retro fit the repro folding stock Airborne stock/grips to the Chiappa as well if desired razz

Of course, there is the fabulous GSG Stg44 as an alternative![]()
