Hey smallbore fans - here's some pics of my two H&R M12 22lr match rifles. The one with the adjustable buttplate also has had action pillars and bedding added. The other one is pretty much standard, except a PO stained the birch stock for some reason. Both are quite accurate .

The Redfield Palma rear sight was, and still is, a decent setup for both smallbore and fullbore rigs.



The Redfield Olympic front sight


A pretty decent group with Federal Automatch bulk ammo


Note the thickness of the receiver - robusto!




A nicely finished recessed target crown

Nice Something for me to keep an eye out for.

Never got into those... Maybe a good thing. I can't afford to keep up as it is.

Very nice.

I love that 10 shot group.

Thanks, JYD. And, the M12 is U.S. property marked as it was used as a military match rifle - that might add to the appeal for you. So keep your eyes peeled for one.

Rongoman - thanks. The 22's can be addicting - just ask Mr. Hlavinka

I'll admit that I cherry picked that particular group from several targets I have kept from that gun. The trick is to repeat a group like that on demand. Ain't happening with bulk ammo such as Fed Automatch. But it can happen, occasionally ;)

Yes, just ask Mr. Hlavinka... Well this weekend I actually bought some "better" ammo. Hopefully I'll get to see how the .22's like it. Mikey_P has me spending more and more time with them.

One ragged hole. That is amazing shooting. I was looking at ammo prices and saw the match grade stuff that is available and I had no idea that ammo for a .22lr could be 30 bucks a box! Lapua has a number of choices, all match grade and expensive.

If your shooting with those rifles... Match grade ammo is the only way to go. Anything less doesn't do them justice.
