Two days ago, I picked up a gunbroker auction win, one of the new Thomspson Center T/CR22 10/22 clones. This is my initial review. More to possibly follow:
1. It is a very nicely put together rifle. Fit and finish is quite good for its price range. In fact, several characteristics are better than the current Ruger products. The finishing in the receiver is better, for one. Having a scope rail as part of the receiver is another [if you're going to put an optic on it].
2. The trigger is pretty much like a factory Ruger trigger, but it's good all the same.
3. The factory magazine, however, is a PITA to get the first round in.
I'm quite happy with the purchase. Zero'd the scope [Burris LRS 1-4] at 25 yards and it appears to have very good accuracy. The bench I was using wasn't the best and wasn't exactly stable for really getting it zero'd, but that will come perhaps tomorrow.
Does anyone else have this rifle? What do you think?
I'll have pics later if someone really needs to see them. ;-)
