Izhmash Biathlon Basic 7-2KO in 22WMR

[PGT]

It looks like your front site block is a barrel band, silver solder and then dovetail for the Lyman. I wonder if there's a simpler solution...looks like Altius sells a rear Izhmash sight for the BB for $225 and the Pyramyd air gun stuff has an adjustable front. As long as the front sight height is correct, there should be enough adjustment in the rear to zero things in.

Well, that is NEAT.

...and that crown.

Finally got scope mounted on my BB in 22 mag and shot yesterday, could not be happier with results. Due to mud could only shoot 25 yards, shot all ammo great but one hole groups with Hornady 30 grain vmax. Scope is Weaver V16 with Weaver high dual extension rings #49045.

where does one obtain such a rifle?

 

[sandmatt]

Centerfire Systems has these in stock.

 

[zeos]

thank you

nice setup! I still need to get some rings for mine...though I can probably "borrow" the scope from my Savage as it has the right kind on it.

I liked this one so much, I bought it's prettified cousin...

Nice rifle! Open sights, too!

What's that in the bottom of the stock? Magazine storage?

 

[PGT]

correct! holds three I believe. I ordered two extras.....one in the gun, three in the well and a spare (they're pricey at $35/ea so I didn't get more but might regret that down the road).

 

[sandmatt]

PGT- where did you get the .22 from? Thanks.

 

[PGT]

Altius. Last one I think, which is why I jumped on it.

Nice rifle ... you're hooked now!!!!

By the way ... SOMEBODY needs to be importing 10round mags!!!!!

I would certainly like a couple more ... more handy for plinking!!!!:banghead:

the Sobol arrives tomorrow.....hopefully, I get to shoot it soon.

Nice. Anyone know how they compare to a CZ. I am thinking of my next purchase. I love my two CZ's but very interested in the BB.

 

[PGT]

I think it outshoots a 455 from what I'm told by those who own both. On par or slightly better than a 452. That said, if you can find one of these and want one, DON'T DELAY. They've been MIA for nearly 5yrs and recently 100 in 22WMR were made available from someone probably cleaning their warehouse. CFS still has them in stock I think....there's also a new one on GB.

I put off my CZ 455 purchase to get this Izhmash pair because I know I can find the CZ down the road.

magazine storage:


50M test shots. Pretty good, eh?

 

[chicharrones]

Very nice indeed, PGT! Congrats!
