I've been shooting nothing but the CCI AR Tactical since May. Shot the Area 5 match with it. Stuff is awesome! I use the other stuff during practice but matches it's nothing but the AR Tactical
-
I bought a T/C R22 and put a C-More Railway 6MOA sight on it. I have since removed the rear peep sight and the front sight post and added a TandemKross Game Changer Pro Comp to the already threaded barrel. It runs on standard 10/22 magazines. I have had 0 malfunctions. S&W make the T/C guns so it is quality made. A lot of the upgrades folks do to a standard 10/22 S&W does on the R22 at the factory. Something think about.

I shot the Area 5 SC in Indiana this past weekend. I arrived for registration to find they had added a few shooters to our squad, one being Mike Foley. I had the opportunity to shoot all 8 stages of SC with Mike on Saturday morning. I stated in my thread about the Area 5 shoot that I was really impressed with Mike both as a shooter and as President of USPSA. He did not dodge any questions or criticism that came from anyone he encountered. He seems to have a sincere dedication to both USPSA and SC. He informed us that the new SC App is going to be a game changer and is due for release very soon. From what I could tell it seemed as though he had a prototype he was using during our match. He also stated the SC website will be revamped as well. My vote for President was cast yesterday and I think you can tell from my experience on Saturday which way I went. No disrespect to those who support the other candidate, that's why they are called elections, everyone has a right to vote how they want.

Had a great time at Area 5!! Riley Conservation Club did another bang up job. I had the pleasure of shooting with Mike Foley, president of USPSA. He was a really impressive guy and has a passion for our shooting sports. I also won a CWA .22 conversion kit for a 1911 on a door prize drawing, $480 value!

Anyone else shooting the Area 5 match this weekend in IN? Two of us will be traveling from eastern Ohio to shoot the Sat morning session. We shot it last year and the club really puts on a good match. Lots of fun. Hope to see some of you there. My squad starts on Showdown Sat morning. I'm shooting PCCO and RFRO

I shoot a T/C R22. I removed the rear peep and front fiber optic sight. I installed a TK Game Changer Pro Comp and mounted a C-More 6MOA railway. For the $ the R22 seems like a very fine gun for RFRO div. I've never had a malfunction yet in hundreds and hundreds of rounds. For matches I shoot CCI AR Tactical ammo.

Shot my first Steel Challenge match this past Saturday with the R22. There were five stages set up and I shot a 61.30 total score as follows:
Smoke and Hope 10.89
Roundabout 11.52
Accelerator 12.26
Pendulum 12.78
Speed Option 13.85
I used CCI AR Tactical 40gr ammo and had 0 feeding issues or misfires. The R22 is stock as seen above with the C-More 6MOA and I"ve added a TandemKross Game Changer Pro comp to the threaded barrel. All in all it seems like a good, reliable .22 rifle for steel matches.

I recently bought the Maglula 10/22 loader / unloader and it's a real nice piece of equipment. I have eight 10/22 10 round magazines and I can load them very quickly. '
As a footnote I I finally go the R22 to the range this week on some steel. I set up 5 To Go with my homemade plates and I'm really loving this rifle. I have a 6MOA C-More Railway mounted and I was really flying, for my standards. I put 150 rounds through it and did not have any feeding issues. I was using a mixture of Fiocchi LRN and Federal Auto Match LRN.
-
I have 4 of the long 33rd mags, 2 17 round mags and 1 10 round mag. At the next local match I'm going to use the 2 17's and the 10 rounder. Shoot two strings with each of the 17's and the last string with the 10 rounder. See how that goes
-
I've shot Federal Auto Match, CCI Blazer, Aguila Super Extra, CCI mini mag and Fiocchi .22LR ammo in my S&W Victory without any issues. I picked up a T/C R22 rifle over the winter to start shooting RFRO and it will absolutely eat anything you put in it.
-
Where are these currently available?
-
One of the reasons I started shooting SCSA was for the simplicity. I don't think I'd be interested in this but if some are then have it. More folks participating in the shooting sports is never a bad thing.
-
I enjoyed shooting it. I'm definitely going to set it up on my own to practice. I'm not in this to get on shooting gallery tv it's just a lot of fun to compete against myself. That's what I love about SCSA.
-
Thanks for the tips! Hated to dig up an old topic but I thought I'd update it with he fact that I bought one of these guns and will have it ready in the spring for SCSA RFRO division. Have a safe fall/winter!

I’d strongly recommend getting a bunch of Ruger 10 rounders. They are the most reliable mags you’ll find.
Thanks for the advice! I'll go that route. Do any of the loaders work with these 10 rounders?

I had never had the chance to shoot Outer Limits until I attended the Area 5 SCSA shoot. It totally kicked my rear end! I was shooting PCCO and I really struggled with getting settled down after moving into the second box.
-
I attended Area 5 Steel Challenge this year. It was very well run! Hope to go back next year.
-
I'm thinking about adding a Burris FF3 8moa dot and a couple Ruger Bx25 mags.
-
I picked one of these rifles up today. Plan on putting a dot sight on it for SCSA. Seems to be a really nice option for RFRO division.

I started with a PSA 9mm carbine. I now shoot a JP GMR15. No complaints on the PSA but the JP is just a thing of beauty. Amazingly well made. I highly recommend it.
-
VC3 is really good stuff! As I stated above I have the model with the thumb screws in the battery cover and I used VC3 to secure those. I'm confident the blue Loctite will keep the two mounting screws secure.
-
I had bought an adapter which fits over the existing knob on the C-More sight while at the Area 5 Steel Challenge. It is designed to make it easier than fiddling with that small knob from the factory. Anyway, I sat down last night to put it on and I noticed my C-More was very loose on the mount. The mount which is attached to my JP was very secure it was the two large screw that go down through the sight and into the mount that had worked loose. I probably shot the last few stages with a loose sight. I decided to use some blue Loctite and secure the screws back into the mount. Anyone else ever have this happen? I had to use Vibra Tite VC3 on the two knobs that secure the battery cover prior to my first match as they had worked loose during practice. Seems as though for the $ I expected a little better mouse trap. I love the sights performance it's just these trivial matters that make me have OCD.

I only got to give it a quick once over. My father-in-law stopped by on his way home from the gun shop. The press releases on it say it will use Ruger 10/22 magazines but the last round hold open will only work with the proprietary T/C mags. I could care less about LRHO for SCSA.
-
My father-in-law bought a new T/C R22 rifle this past weekend. First I'd ever seen this new release from T/C. All I gotta say is I was really impressed. The Magpul stock fits like a glove and the fiber optic sight is really nice. He put a Vortex Venom on it and intends to start shooting Steel Challenge with us at our local match. They sell for around $350 and seem to be a nice rifle. Very, very similar to a 10/22 action.

My barrel is Stamped S&W Springfield MA. S&W is the parent company for T/C firearms. I believe mostly all current T/C firearms are made by S&W in their plant.
They are even making Performance Center R22 rifles now.
