Any NRL .22 shooters here? looking to get started in base class. I have been looking around and sampling different platforms. Max cost for base class $1,050.00 weapon and glass.
Tikka T1x, Ruger 10/22, Ruger Precision rim fire, Savage B22 precision, and the Savage BTVLSS (basically a Mark II in stainless left-handed, Boyd stock.)
There are Pros and cons to all these platforms as well as some limitations due to my location (NJ) 10 round mags no threaded barrel. The biggest hurdle is I am Left-handed.
The Tikka has a flimsy feel to the polymer stock and I really don't like the sloppiness in the bolt. Available in left handed-action
Standard Ruger 10/22 can't say much about this other than I was looking for a bolt not a semi-auto.
Ruger Precision rim fire- Seems like an ok good entry? I don't think comes in left hand?
Savage B22 precision- Some issues with nicking the round in the mag throwing off accuracy. Left-handed also questionable.
At the moment I am leaning toward the
Savage BTVLSS- It seems to check all the boxes? Any thoughts or advice? It may be difficult to upgrade when the time comes.
