Lithgow LA101 + VX-5HD. Awesome rifle although a bit heavy (so it's a neverending search for a comfy sling and backpack mount) Works great with cheap Federal Champion 36grn bulk ammo. 123189

Truth is they are all just lumps of copper and lead that regardless of their design and tolerances will act all silly from time to time. None are totally predictable. And by far the majority of...
