RIFLE PREFERENCE: FOCUS ON MATCH-GRADE AMMUNITION FOR BEST RESULTS
Cheap to feed, worth shooting
A box of .22 LR costs a fraction of a centrefire box, which is why rimfire is where shooters actually build skill.
The Stinger is set up to make that practice count: a 508 mm barrel with a 1:16 twist, a crisp bolt throw, and a rail already fitted so your scope goes on the day you buy it.
Use it for:
- •Rabbits, foxes and close-range pest work.
- •Teaching new shooters without burning through centrefire ammo.
- •Cheap, high-volume practice that carries over to the big rifle.
Tested on paper, not just claimed
We put ten factory .22 LR loads through it at 50 metres, three 3-shot groups each, and published every result including the ones that did not flatter it.
Four of the ten averaged under 1 MOA. The best, SK Rifle Match, averaged 0.477 inches. The full board is further down this page.
In the field
Pest control
Light enough to carry all day, accurate enough to make the shot when it comes.
Practice
Cheap ammo and a 10-round magazine mean trigger time without the centrefire bill.
New shooters
Low recoil and simple handling, with a rail so a scope makes it easier again.
Synthetic Black ⇄ Elite Timber
Same action. Same reliability. Choose the style, not the compromise. Drag to compare.
