    I had one in .22 magnum. It was a good well made rifle and accurate enough too. I dunno any more than that about them, oh ya dont lose the magazine for it. They are like hens teeth to get.

    top quality rifle/manufacturers can be expensive, you are paying for a name,having said that you will not go wrong with one

    Second hand with scope for 350.few marks, could do with a bit of a clean up but other than that looks good

    Traded in a Kriko .22 Mag before Christmas with the lads in SportsDen in Navan. They had one or two others as well. I had bought it new about 20 years ago. Good accurate rifle, it liked Remington ammo if I remember, but OK with CCI. The magazine needed a bit of fettling, as it had seemed to have dropped a little, and really needed your finger under it, keeping it up to feed cleanly. Also the little spring clip which prevented the bolt from coming out when you pull it back, had ceased to be effective, but that just needed a little bit of a bend put into it to make it good again.
    Never had a mis-fire with it, good deep blueing on it. The quality of the sights was everything, I had cheap and nasty glass on it, and the difference when I got quality sights, was huge.

    thanks jonty, i,ll try that

    OK are you sure you have a semi?

    If you pull the bolt back, will it fly forward under it's own steam?

    Can you post a pic of your rifle?

    Yes the bolt goes back on it's own steam

    So just don't push the bolt across, And it'll fire in semi auto so.
