Makster, I noticed that after a little more digging. Good idea, but I think I would be better off buying a couple of good hunting rifles. I still like the idea though. JD

loose noose, I agree completely with you. That was mainly the reason for my response. I'm sure lacquer coating may contribute to getting the rifle dirty or to leave a deposit, but from that video that was not enough evidence for me to say lacquer was the sole culprit. Every rifle and every...

Maybe I am reading the post wrong, but it doesn't seem to be SOLEY the lacquer. It appears even with their testing and their own words that each round is different, one allowing more gases around the cartridge than the other; therefore building up carbon deposits and possibly other elements...

Ok everyone, I found a few old threads from 2012, regarding the TC Dimension. Supposedly, TC has the 2013 model out and sounds good. The looks are still something to be desired, but the concept sounds great. Does anyone own one of these? How does it shoot? Are they reliable? I want to get...

jamesbeat, you will never worry about making me mad. I am completely satisfied with my 597 and I love my 10/22. As for being careful with my rifle, I treat it the same way I treat all the rest of my weapons. I believe everyone has to make their own decision and the internet is very misleading...

If your LGS has a 597 and it is priced right, I would jump on it. Don't get hung up in 10/22 vs 597 talk, because I own both and I have not had any issue from either one. If I had to do it over again, I would have saved the money I spent on my 10/22 and boght something else. I have had zero...

ifit: I have the polymer version. I would have gone with the wood, but the price didn't seem worth it and now I don't have to worry about if I get any scratches. I will try and remember to upload a couple of pics when I get home tonight. As for the shooting; all went well this weekend. I...

Well everyone, just picked up my rifle yesterday and I have to say it looks really good. I can' wait for this weekend, so I can put some rounds through it. All in All, the rifle appears to be very well built. I will check in next week and let you all know how things went. JD

From everything I have read (18 pages worth), the early models did not fair too well. The new models seem to have had most of the issues worked out, according to the folks that have bought them. I should have mine in a couple of weeks, so I will know first hand. JD

I wish I knew how to delete this post. I found an excellant review of the Citadel M1-22LR, at "RimFire Central". Don't get me wrong, I love THR, but with this being a rimfire rifle, I should have looked there first. It answers almost all the questions on the rifle. Here is the thread...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this Citadel M1-22 rifle? I recently placed an order for one, through the Kentucky Gun company and I am eagerly waiting my order. They seem to be very backed up and could be up to 2-3wks before I get the rifle. I have read on...

skylerbone, you seem to be right. I have yet to see any of our stores sold out or even close to selling low on shotgun ammo. I used to shoot skeet all the time, so I have been reloading shotgun as well as my handgun and rifle. It probably wouldn't hurt to buy a few rounds here and there of...

Yea, our walmart has been empty for over a month or so. Academy has started putting a limit on how many boxes you buy in one visit. I have enough stockpiled, that I can wait out this panic. I suspect it will start to settle out a little, but not sure how long it will take.

Not sure, but if it will clear up some today, I am going to experiment a little. I suspect it is probably all operator error.

WOW!, is all I can say. Not sure how many of feel this way, but I was blown away when I went into the gun show today in GA. I usually try to go every now and again, just to get a good laugh or to support some my local gun shops. Well, today I noticed how bad the run on ammo really has gotten...
