( 4 out of 5) Almost perfect entry 1022

by Shane from Angier, NC on January 19, 2020

This was my first 1022 rifle. I did not buy this gun from this website but have put multiple thousands of rounds through it and feel motivated to review it. As a stock, out of the box 1022, this surpassed my expectations. For the lower end of the firearm price range I got an extremely reliable rifle that ate everything from Remington thunderbolts to CCI subsonic hps and consistently shot around 2 moa assuming you're a competent shooter, your level of skill may yield better or worse results.



I put a Bushnell trs25 on the pic rail, basic $50 red dot and it made target acquisition an absolute ease, an extremely quick rifle in terms of moving it from low ready to on target. My next upgrade was a Kidd 2 stage trigger. Truthfully, this trigger pull is leagues above the stock tcr22 trigger. Disappointingly, I also got my first batch of stovepipe malfunctions with this trigger. I assume this is a result of the incredibly tight trigger spring on the Kidd triggers. I typically run CCI standard velocitys and expect at least 1 stovepipe/25 rounds until the trigger spring breaks in. The break in period is about 500 rounds in my experience.



With a broken in Kidd trigger, Bushnell red dot, CCI standard velocity ammo, and a Silencerco can, this is my favorite gun to shoot by far! I have a lot of cool toys so this isn't an empty statement. If you can shoot well, know how to buy parts that suits your needs, and are looking for a cheap project blinker, this is exactly what you're looking for. Buy it before the price rises, trust me.
