I assume that's the LWT version then? The cheapest 10 rounder bud has on sale is for $297 and I am not sure what is the difference between the standard and the Light Weight model. Care to educate me?

Thanks haha

See #2

So a few notes on this new rifle...
1) my understanding is that this model (522) has a fake silencer that IS POST RECALL BATF approved and a bit heavier than the recalled version, with this said this gun is a bit front heavy.
2) this version (SDL) is 75$ cheaper than the version w/ the aluminum receiver. ($288 vs $360 out the door from budsgunshop.com) The bolt is self contained and at .22 caliber I don't see an issue here, since this is my squirrel killer and I wont be doing a tire test anytime soon, but the polymer upper shaves off nearly a whole pound, bringing this baby in at only 5.5 pounds-- my wife and daughter will be enjoying this for years!
3) NOT a tackdriver, but good groups about 3/4 inch @ 50 yards out of the box w/ iron sights. The rear sights had to be removed to accommodate the scope, thats a Barska 3x9 CQB w/ illuminated reticle.
4) She doesn't seem too finnicky about ammo so far, but remingon sub-sonics are my preferred stock, also eats federal and that crappy remington thunderbolt no prob.
p.s.- ITS tactical rules!
