Since the Old Hide is Back... I need a new Rimfire

[RicosRevenge]

Sooo... I'll pick this up Saturday. Kel-Tech CMR. .22WMR. Looks to be fun and easy to pack around the ranch.

I have a guy I work with that carries one of those around in his ranch truck everywhere he goes. They are badass suppressed. Not sure if your into this kind of thing but I saw last month on TFB that keltec was showing one of these off at SHOT this year with an extended hand rail. Looks pretty slick. Im not sure if they will go production with them or not but still looked good. I think it would be a simple diy with the right parts. Just a thought.

What do they sell for?

I was thinking of picking up one of those Kel-Tech. When I was looking they were hard to come buy and expensive.

Irish, the MSRP is $630 and like tut mentioned, they are freaking as hard to find as a unicorn right now.

Dusty, I have seen the extended handrail. Basically they attach another rail to it. I am a fan of long handguards usually, but I will probably just remove the bottom picatinny rail section off the standard handguard so it is smooth underneath, drop my suppressor on and call it a day.

I picked it up Saturday afternoon and also finished a Noveske build I was working on. Was hoping to get some time with it Sunday after getting some TC PRC Club Match Practice in, but it started raining so I said the heck with it. But I will say, they feel REALLY good and are very light. I can see why your buddy keeps it in his truck!

Looks like a fun rifle, but I've never seen one in the flesh around here.

If it's as good as the pistol 22wmr, it'll be awesome.

Whitakker's has had them in stock more often than not. That's where I picked mine up. I believe I paid $549 shipped, but it may have been a little more or a little less. I got it last year and it's proved to be very accurate and totally reliable. It rides in my backpack when I'm in the woods and will be in my turkey vest in a few weeks for the birds that hang up too far out for the Benelli.

I just grabbed a Sig 522 and that it a pretty fun 22lr to shoot! i enjoy it.

I have both and they are really fun!! I wouldn't trust them with my life. Think Plinking and varmiting!! The mag causes jams when load with 30 rounds. Careful loading of mag with Hornady 30 amax's get me the best result.

Thanks for the heads up Ian
