Walther G22-A3 Range Report (22LR bullpup)
I've been shooting my Walther G22 (A3) for a while now and it has become my every-trip rifle. It is a 22LR bullpup rifle made by Walther and distributed by Smith & Wesson.
Here is a picture of the G22 A3 setup, which is what I have. Sorry it's the generic marketing photo, not one of my own. The "A3" just designates that it came pre-packaged with a scope AND red laser unit. The scope is nothing special, a simple 3x-9x job. The laser is custom designed for this rifle and is form fitted and shaped to go right under the barrel (it is attached in the photo below).
Here is my range report... sorry, but I only use an indoor range, so the distance isn't exactly impressive.
For these shots, I was standing and using a cheap-o bipod that sat on the port's bench. I was going for the "X" and not necessarily tight groups. I was also rapid firing at times.
This is a fun little gun to own, it's cheap, the ammo's cheap, and it's one of the few I own that I can pop off the entire magazine and not care. I feed it Federal Champion #510, which is a solid nose 22LR. I'm not sure if it has a preference, but it does quite well with that for a 22.
Here is my range photo...
and a close-up of the same...
The whole rifle, setup as shown in the pic above, with an included case, cost me less than the Eotech sight on my big-boy rifle so I'd say it was a good purchase for cheap, plinking fun.
