Rimfire

Ruger is launching two new pistols that are guaranteed to be crowd-pleasers, the new Ruger LCP II in .22 Long Rifle and the new Ruger-57 in 5.7x28mm.

Savage Arms is happy to announce the new Minimalist series, a line of rimfire rifles based on their Mark II and 93 series bolt actions.

CZ launched its new rimfire action, the 457, this year, and they continue to create new platforms for it. It’s already got competition stocks, hunting stocks, and even a youth model. Now the 457 is sporting CZ’s first home-grown chassis.

Both models feature tail-mounted Picatinny rail adapters for fixed and folding pistol braces like those made by SB Tactical.

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that the Taurus TX22 may have eclipsed all other budget-friendly training handguns in this category. Released earlier this year, the TX22 holds 16 rounds in each double-stacked magazine, is insanely comfortable to shoot, maintains reliability after hundreds of rounds, and has a great trigger, to boot.

Winchester’s new Wildcat .22 could be the perfect 21st century semi-auto. This is a rifle worth your attention.

This week, I got my hands on a rifle for review that was a long time in the making. The Tikka T1X, first announced at SHOT Show 2018, has finally hit the shelves. Now despite my own giddiness about rimfires, I know that they aren’t the most popular reviews we publish. But hear me out on this one, I think you are really going to dig it. Why, pray tell, have I been anxiously awaiting a bolt action in 17 HMR?

Despite its short disappearance, the 5mm rimfire is the ultimate varmint hunting cartridge. Reaching 17 HMR-like speeds with a heavier projectile, it puts massive foot-pounds of energy downrange on target. Varmint hunters have been waiting for its return to the market and it is finally back thanks to Aguila.

The word “papoose” comes from the Algonquian word “papoos” and means “child.” Marlin’s diminutive semi-auto rifle has undergone a variety of iterations over the last thirty-odd years, but the original concept behind the famous nickname has remained the same. Today’s Model 70PSS is designed to fit anywhere, be shot by anyone, and tag along on whatever adventure comes next.
