Never heard of this rifle. Thinking NRL22. Anybody have any experience with one? Price is decent. I want one!

Interesting concept, similar to the Volquartsen Summit action but cheaper...
Always good to see more options for 22lr.
Side bar: What's up with the promo video? It looked like a bad parody of the Hills Have Eyes and Mad Max.

Wow that guy in the video is a super sniper crazy commando ultra force dude!
I have the Volq Summit .22 and love the action but not the groupings, so it's with my smith who is formulating an accurate solution. My 2024 project. Can't wait.
When I watched the video I thought 6.5 Creedmoor lol!
It is an unfortunate commentary on the industry as a whole when one of the most prestigious precision firearms manufacturers in the World could have fallen from grace by such a margin. My memories of the days when I shot, handled and sold their exquisite products are still there but the motivation to buy their new offering is non existant. And your all right that promotional video would have Johann Hammerli rolling in his grave.
The fact that the name is now owned by a company mostly known for its soft air products may be a sign of future offerings and responsible for the promotional style.

No interest in the rifle but had to watch the video. Not my thing
Looks nice but they lost me at that quick change barrel system which is detrimental for accuracy and pointless.
Like the CZ 457, European gunmakers seem to value quick change barrel systems due to their governmental laws.
Depending how well it is done I think that it can be accurate like AI guns and Terminus Zeus actions.
But for $649 MSRP, that is a tall order. I do like the adjustable LOP and easy change out comb.
Reviews starting to come out:
If you want to see the "Promo" video, good for a chuckle:

Yes.
I'll see your odd video and raise you.
Take a look at the Hammerli TAC R1 video. It seems to imply that this is the rifle for you if you are a post-apocalyptic cannibal living in the desert (cut away scene).
YMMV, happy shooting
Hammerli is a German rifle. That’s the image the Europeans have of us. They think we stack arms in the back of the classroom when we’re in grade school.
And we think they are a bunch of Euro weeny pussies.
I was not either. I didn't catch the MSRP of the rifle. In this video, he mentions that the trigger group can be swapped with any aftermarket 10/22 compatible trigger group. In addition, he says that a 20 inch match grade barrel will soon be available.
So this makes me wonder, why doesn't Hammerli with their great reputation just make the darn thing with a decent trigger group and put the match grade barrel on it to begin with.
BTW, the Garmin chronograph in the video, generated more interest for me than the rifle.
PS: A Browning T-bolt with a Ruger 10/22 magazine would really get my attention!
CZ 457 are not quick change barrel system.
A system to swap a barrel with 2 grub screws and no gunsmith is quick change in my book.
I wonder if the action could be smithed to fit a shouldered barrel.
Anyways, good to have options for 2A pursuit.
Cheers
Still not a quick change system as need to torque barrel screws for accuracy and resight in scope for changes.
Well, I dunno, maybe they thought about that and engineered the magazine so it wouldn't damage bullets?
Unfortunate commentary on the industry? Or on a manufacturer that failed to stay relevant?
LOL.....ok
Well, we all shall use YOUR definition of quick change and not our own. Whatever we would do without your wisdom?
I for one am pretty interested in this. Seems like it'd be a nice plinker thats different from the normal bolt actions. Hopefully they come out with a wood version and more barrels. Honestly if I could find one in stock I might would order one now!
Very Road Warrior looking video...LOL Looks to be a great varmint rifle not so much target.
I'll wager this is made by Umerex for Hammerli. Umerex's last straight pull had a horrible barrel to receiver connection. I sure hope they got this one right. Would love to see a video showing barrel deflection with just a finger. I fear one will be chasing a zero with this one. I really hope I'm wrong I'll buy one. I love my Summits. Had the previous Umerex straight pull but would never hold zero as the barrel wasn't stable so I sold it.
I give them props for copying existing designs:
Air hose quick release fittings.
10/22 mags.
10/22 trigger assemblies.
Summit/Volquartsen toggle action.
Interesting marriage of all those, but will it actually hold zero?
Well, they're not wrong.
I never buy Heineken but had some when I parked in a headwater on a trout stream once and someone forgot their Heineys in the snow so we drank it. Not that impressed but it was there.
Heiney is ass, and so are their commercials...I never buy Heineken but had some when I parked in a headwater on a trout stream once and someone forgot their Heineys in the snow so we drank it. Not that impressed but it was there.
Looks like a bunch of depraved billionaire's kids getting ready for a sporting, fair-chase, toddler hunt on Epsteins Island.
I was going to leave it at some models that were told they were doing a stock photo shoot for a wedding but then got handed some pellet rifles but ok....
It’s like that meme where the wolf is pictured over the chihuahua and the comment “What happened?”
In this case it’s a video of Germans Troops racing through France over that video and the question “What happened?”

I haven't been able to find anyone selling the magazine adapters or optional barrels that were supposed to be available.
Should fit in nicely here.
I haven’t seen any either. Maybe it’s going to take a bit for the barrels.
If the action is solid then maybe Lothar Walther, IBI, Lilja, etc.. will jump in and give it a hand.
i finger banged one for a minute at a shop the other day. same deal. maybe it would smooth out?
lighter than i would want even for a walk around gun.
Browning still makes a T-Bolt.
