Customer Comments & Questions
Customer Reviews
Hammerli is a name with an outsize reputation. This straight-pull rifle has a lot to live up to but just falls short of the mark. There is a great deal that I do like about it. Nice weight and balance. Fit and finish all appear to be good. Good idea using the 10/22 magazine. The barrel attachment fitting works well.
One of the things that fall short is the lack of other available barrels to switch out. Without the option of buying other barrels, what is the point? A minor but irritating thing is the plug that must be fitted to the 10/22 mags to make them work is stiff plastic that is not easy to get on and off. So you better plan on making your Ruger mags permanent on this rifle.
The worst feature is the trigger. It is a hard 6 lb trigger with a sharp and irritating trigger safety built in. There is a cross-bolt safety on the rifle, so why the trigger safety? You can supposedly drop a Ruger BX trigger in. Why not just put it in the first place? The bolt in my rifle is also kind of stiff and didn’t want to close a few times on my first trip to the range.
The good news is that while my groups were in the 1–2 inch range on my first trip, I was stacking the shots on top of each other inside the bull on my second trip. I attribute this to the addition of a good bipod, a good cleaning and polishing, and oiling the trigger. Still too heavy, but better than day one. Hopefully it will continue to improve. The stiffness in the bolt pull was also getting better, and there were no hang-ups cycling rounds.
For the current price point, this is still a good rifle, and I was happy to add a straight-pull action to my collection. I really just wish they had put a better or adjustable trigger in this rifle from the beginning.
