Thread: Ruger 96/22LR lever actions

I had one in 96/22mag, Gun city brought it in for me along with a couple of others including a 17hmr.
Shot well for me with the right ammo. 1.5" at 100 mtr for 9 shots which for a light 22 mag with a low power scope I thought was quite acceptable. Rem 33gr and Hornady 30gr.
CCI 40 gr was no good in mine. Hornady 30gr was not ideal on goats, stopped them but mostly due to fragments catching the spine, only 6" of penetration.
Sold due to cost of the remington ammo and I was starting to get into reloading so replaced with 58gr Vmax loads over trail boss in a lever 243.
