.22 Aquila Super Colibri - AMAZING!

[Maverick223]

Ancient thread, but FWIW the "standard" Colibris did fine in all of my .22LRs, to include a 24in. bbl'd Stevens 87D (which is perfect for 'em as they seem to feed fine and it has a bolt lock to prevent partially cycling with light loads), as did the Super Colibris (though the change in volume is near indiscernible so I switched to the "supers").

Accuracy, penetration, and expansion leaves a bit to be desired, but with all the competition in this sector of the market whatcha' gonna do? The Remington CBees are much better in all respects, but are much louder as well (but still fairly quiet).

Indoor shooting?

How do you guys get past the smell?

Interesting thread...

I experienced accuracy issues with the Super Colibris as well, and shelved them -- but I bought a case of the darned things, so I may have to blow the dust off of them and give them another go-round when the weather warms up...

I can't tell any difference in sound signature between the CCI CB Long's and the Super Colibri. For the accuracy difference I'll take the CB's.
