Aguila Colibri 22’s

[STUKA]

+1 for Sportsmans
I bought several bricks there.
I've had no problem with accuracy out of my Henry,but it gets a little loose out of my Single Six.

Does anyone in the Willamette Valley know of any in stock? I had a chance to shoot a few the other day and want to buy a few. Everyone seems to be out of stock (Cabela's, Brownells, etc)

I'm at Sportsman's now, they have about 12 boxes on an end cap.

Found them at both Sportsman's and Cabela's in the past, though I haven't checked recently. Only 2 places in town that I've found to carry them.

Heads up! If you shoot these out of a rifle run an oily bore snake through it first.

Yep, I think I got a brick of this and the original, that or they are both super.

Fun to shoot in the garage when bored.

That reminds me... I still have some Speer plastic bullets floating around somewhere. They're designed to be pressed into a primed shell by hand. I've heard of people making their own with hot glue sticks, too!

I melt candle wax into a foil lined tray about a quarter inch deep. Use a primed casing like a cookie cutter and "load" them. They are surprisingly accurate, at least minute of balloon in the garage.

Sounds like fun!

Haven't tried these but the CCI Quiets are great out of my bolt rifle. Almost as quiet as Colibris from a revolver.

I've ran plenty of the CB Shorts through a Cricket, and they're my favorite for teaching kids how to shoot.

No muzzle blast means no flinch!

I've heard of this before, but always forget about it. Gonna have to try it with the wife's SP101.

Really? I've had very different results. In my experience, the CCI Quiets were still quite loud from my Ruger American Rimfire. Now, once the can clears the feds, it will all be a moot point, subsonics + the can = quiet backyard shooting

BTW, I ended up finding the Colibri's at sportsman's warehouse. The label changed and I overlooked them last time . Now I just need to order the S&W 617 for $600 that I linked in the "great deals" section!
