  1. I went for it not because it was the new 455 action (this is the new action that is replacing the 452) but because I wanted the laminated thumbhole stock - Sportsman just happended to have it in the new action.

     

    I cant ever see me swapping the barrels - too much hassle - I've got my eye out for a .22LR but not desperate, what what I'll be using it for the HMR will do 90% of what I need.

     

    I will do a review once Ive put a few rounds through it. My initial impression; I LOVE the stock - very well finished, very pretty and very ergonomic - the hand fits in the thumbhole lovely. I have small / medium hands, those with hands like slabs of meat could find it a little tight?

     

    The bolt is a little stiff, but Ive only put 15 rounds through it so far! I'm sure this will bed in. The trigger pull is quite heavy - but very crisp.

     

    I'm still getting used to the HMR round - having shot a 22 air rifle for the past 12 months, I cant get used to looking for rabbits 100yds+ away and still cant get used to shooting them at that range!

    hi m8 i bought same gun but in .22lr yesterday not shoot it yet as the s""t weather but can't wait
