Xm177e2

[RCS]

Really nice build of the XM177E2 and quite accurate too. Interesting sling.

I don't think the Winchester magnum conversion is very popular in the US, cost being the main reason, both for the parts
and cartridges but excellent for your shooting. Maybe try and locate some other brands of cartridges to test out.

Winchester magnum

Very expensive ammo here too but I'll bet the FMJ ammo or HP would be effective in use. Lots of power considering what it is.

Very expensive ammo here

I had an Erma M-1 replica in 22 WMR back in 78-79 even back then the Mag ammo was very expensive I bought a 10 shot mag for it as well.
But had to hand it in and a 12G SKB semi shotgun when our Govt banned semi auto's.

Cheers Robert, it's a great build. I need to try different makes of ammo, the CCI varmit is impressively accurate I have to say.

Not the cheapest to feed, bit I've a really nice Tippmann M4-22 for 'cheap' .22lr shooting. The XM has to be used in moderation...

I certainly wouldn't want to get hit by winmag Jim, it's got a surprising amount of punch for such a small round, especially HP.

I've noticed it's pretty much unaffected by wind out to 100 yards.

It's printing 2" inch groups and that's with a railway track switch leaver milspec trigger.

A lighter trigger and I would think you would pull the goup in by half an inch.

Just a bit of light razor stone to clean those two mating surfaces. Don't do much or you lose the hardness completely. You don't need anything special, just a touch to clean them up.
