New firearm day! Taurus TX22
- Thread starter Fa24wrx
- Start date
Son's ex girlfriend had one of these she bought a couple of years ago. She used good ammo like Federal and Cci minis...never had a lick of trouble. Good price.
That's just it. I intentionally used the what's likely the bottom of the barrel of my stock of .22, Remington Thunderbolt. No problem at all.
I'm impressed.
might try some yellow jackets
Took mine to the range yesterday afternoon. I intentionally mixed Remington Golden Bullet hollow points in with Federal AutoMatch.
It didn't like the Golden Bullet hollow points at all.
I'll clean the magazines up and spray them with Wonder Lube dry lube and give them another try.
Veridian should be sending me a replacement any day now.
Gun shoots Thunderbolt no problem but hates Golden Bullet... interesting
Had my 10/22 and it shoots anything I put in it well. Bought a steel target tree. Adds another layer of fun.

In my somewhat limited experience with .22s, CCI ammo, particularly the “mini-mags”, runs well and is reliable.

The federal Automatch has been more reliable for me than the CCI mini mag.
Both go bang about as reliably as I can get. I take advantage of whats on sale and recently got a killer deal on Mini Mags so I bought 5000 40gr for $350.
It's a colorful box.
I'm thinking LRN is an overall better choice for the TX22 vs whatever hollow points. I have a 500 round box or 3 of American Eagle.22... not sure if they're LRN or HP. I'm going to check later.

However what would the Green Dot Optic in the OP cost to add on?

If i were to buy an optic, I'd go Cyelee
I've had excellent experience with Feyachi RDS36 on 2 rifles.
Amazon has the 3 MOA green dot Taurus version for around $200.
The selection in the footprint that fits the TORO slide, RMSc, is limited. I just received my Veridian warranty replacement for my new TX22 TORO. Will install and sight in Sunday and take it to the range Monday.
As @shortyb stated, it's about $200. I'm not so sure it's worth that, but if it's included in the package like the KY Gun Co deal with 5 magazines and the optic for $330, it's a great deal. Veridian was excellent in replacing my faulty original green dot. When it worked, it was great. Will find out soon how the replacement holds up.
Hope it all works out. With the popularity of pistol red (or green) dot optics these days, it seems everyone is making one. Including cheap, knockoff types (NOT saying this about Veridian) so you really need to be careful and read up on the one you may purchase and take reviews with a grain of salt.
While my Holosuns are manufactured in China, the company is headquartered in the good ole USA. All of the design and research for their lasers and optics is conducted here also and quality control, even though put together in China, is superb. Good price points too. My 6 MOA red dot was only a few bucks more than the Veridian FWIW.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Veridian RFX11 is significantly overpriced at about $200.
It's shake awake...which is ok but everything else is auto adjust like brightness. And a lot of the reviews complain about having to remove the sight to replace the battery...plus, the optic frame is plastic of some sort. It wouldn't be my choice if I had to add a red dot separately. But again, for the price of the package and assuming it holds up better than the first one, I'm good with it.
