No, but thanks for the tip, I will. I probably have 15 different brands and variants on the shelf here but I don't see any of those. Guess they never went on sale where I buy my ammo.
I'll try some this year for sure.I shoot Aguila 38gn subsonic hp out of my tikka t1x and mark IV. Very quiet, cycles fine and kills squirrels without issue. I could probably play around with other rounds and get something that groups slightly better, but these are good enough and easy to buy bulk.No, but thanks for the tip, I will.

What does this rifle weigh?I've got a 22/45 that I like BUT I'm not as good of a shot with a pistol and put together a different setup for grouse that I'm more accurate with and is still relatively compact. Cheap savage rascal, a folding stock and CCI "quite" which out of a 16" barrel sound like an airgun.
(The below photo was two hunters, I didn't exceed my daily limit)
I forget what the barreled action alone weights offhand but this setup weights 3lb, 0.6oz with 10rds of ammo on my scale.
I have one of the Tx22's it is not anywhere close to being in the same league as the Ruger Mark guns accuracy wise. I have a 22/45 Lite, a MKII target, and a couple Mark IV hunters, they all will out shoot the TX by a long way.
That’s good to know. Which Ruger Mark model do you find to be the best bang for the buck (pun intended)?
That thing's pretty slick. I was planning to carry my 10/22 backpacker before I picked up the FN502. It's a little heavy at 4 lbs 2 oz with ammo and the reflex site and barrel mount rail but sure is fun to shoot.I forget what the barreled action alone weights offhand but this setup weights 3lb, 0.6oz with 10rds of ammo on my scale.
My MKII- I paid $119 for it in 1982
. It has north of 10k rounds through it.

That's solid too. My setup isn't gonna be as stout in the rip area but its good enough for a 22lr assuming I don't beat on it, the nice thing is it just unfolds and clicks into place so if its in a side stash in a pack you can grab it and open it up quickly.
So it's a hinge that just folds out? Yeah that's way faster than putting together a 10/22 takedown lol.
Yeah a hinge that is spring loaded to slide a tab in the grip portion sideways on the hinge pin so it pushes a section into place to lock it up once you open it, to fold it you have to slide the handle portion sideways on the hinge pin before you can fold it. (Look close at that first picture) Due to wanting to keep the whole thing slim there is a limitation to how stout that piece of the stock can be and what I'd view as the weak link if mishandled (if you flexed that "tab" hard I'm sure you could break it off). But for the use case I made it for it seems to work fine so far, worse case I make another one and/or switch up the material.
