I love it, luuuuuuvvvvvv it, it is my favorit rimfire round.
it is 1/3 the cost of the hmr. it goes about 2100 fps, but the eley/remmy
ammo is about 200 fps faster, wheeeee!!!! that means it is only about 300 to 400 fps slower than a hmr.
a mach 2 rifle also shoots the 17 aguila round, a real 22lr case, that fires a 20 grain fmj boat tail , or hollow point boat tail.
They are awesomely accurate, and the fun factor is not even on the charts!!!!
a 100 yd zero drops 5 inches at 150 and 12 inches at 200, the eley/remmy
ammo does it about 3 inces at 150, and about 9 inches at 200.
all the rifles made for this round are accurate; there are no losers in the bunch, and I have had them all, that cost 500 or less. Even the single shots.
Again, the ammo cost; if you buy off the net, about 4 to 5 bucks a box.
hmr ammo is about 13 bucks a box, for craps and giggles , lets say 10 a box.
If you shoot/plink a lot like I do, I can go through 4 boxes of m2 ammo , on a weekend easy. that is a diff of 10 bucks of m2 ammo versus 20 for the hmr.
Lets say, you shoot this amount, 20 times a year. that is 200 bucks right there, and that is if your hmr ammo is only 10 bucks a box, and that is if you only shoot 20 times a year, and only 4 boxes at a time. Increase each of these settings by one, and your cost starts to expand exponentially.
Terminal results are explosive on small game, literally. Out to 100 yds, the m2 bullet is faster than a 22 is at the muzzle. With a 100 yds zero, your typical rise , through a low mounted scope, is only about .7 inches at 50 yds.
