    Pretty neat little rifle, it shoots the hm2 cartridge it’s a 22 long rifle that is necked down to a.17 cal called a hm2. I put a new trigger spring in it last night. It dropped the trigger pull from 4 pounds back to a perfect 2 pounds. It’s the heavy barrel model. Really a neat little round, the new trigger spring really made it a much better rifle to me. Now, I really enjoy shooting it. Think it’ll end up being one of my favorite rifles.

    On a good day about 2100ft pr second. Or about 2x that of a 22 lr, and it’ll shoot pretty flat as well. It’s pretty quiet as well.
