[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2950742, member: 109862"] That sucks! Yeah I've long been intrigued by it but never pulled the trigger on one because of how many reports like this I've heard. Whether it's the fancy expensive Franklin or the basic savage bolt gun, it seems anything chambered in this thing has too many issues And the ammo itself as well. Which is too bad. A 3000 fps rimfire is a great idea. But the other thing, and this is why I've never bothered with ANY rimfire besides .22LR, is price of ammo. Now that primers are insane this isn't as true anymore, but it's historically been the case that a person could easily whip up .22 hornet, .17 hornet, or even ultra light .223 loads for cheaper per shot than .22 win mag or .17 wsm, at least at the prices those rounds fetch around here (I'm in rural Canada, maybe they're cheaper elsewhere). Just didn't see the point. [/QUOTE]
