After a pretty basic cheap .22, the JW15 seems to pop up a lot.

There's 2 different 'Packages' I'm looking at buying to throw in the safeand have a crack.
H&F have this: https://www.huntingandfishing.co.nz/...package-1.html

GC have this: https://www.guncity.com/22lr-outdoor...-barrel-324239

Any opinions on either? I'd rather have a Ruger 10/22, but that's an upcoming project I think, just want something to bash about, cheap.

Cheers.

Re-JW15, if the exit-hole is dead-center in the barrel, it should be fine(where the projectile exits).Worth checking, though I've only seen one that wasnt. Mine is more accurate than any 10/22 I've ever seen. After a bit of polishing of bolt and receiver, or a lot of use, they get quite smooth. (DONT use a dremel). Check that the mag/mags feed smoothly, my experience is, they either do or dont. Mine is sensitive to the action-screw tightness, dont know about others. I rate them as the best bang for your buck, .22-wise, and there are Vids out there, if you want to play/improve them a bit yourself
