Since I saw this back at the Shot Show 2019, I was intrigued. As I recently brought an Old Remington Nylon 66 back to life, this new Winchester peaked my interest. For a quick look, here is one review with some decent pics:

I finally got to the range with my grandson today to put her through the paces. We had a blast. Three hundred rounds of various breeds of ammo (CCI Standard, CCI Mini-Mag HP, Remington Thunderbolt, Remington Golden HP, Armscor 22 HP, and Federal Premium HP) and with great pleasure I was impressed. Not one single failure of any sort.
After loading that lone 10 round mag, our fingers were dirty and getting a bit raw! All in good fun!
This little plinker is one shootin' son of a gun!
A few quick notes:
Absolutely love how the action drops out with the press of a button. Here, I am retrieving one of the allen wrenches for a quick adjustment:
Shoots great!
For an adult, length of pull is a bit short, but perfect for youth!
The biggest, and so far only downer for both of us was the sights. Peep on the rear> not a fan here!
We bounced around from 7 to 25 yards. No way I could keep my impact under 1.5 inches at 25 yards with the stock sights!
On the other hand, my grandson was easily under 1/2" groups at 10 yards!
But to each his own...others may love it! I think I might pop one of my Romeo red dots on her the next time out!
Super light!
A guy could easily carry this in the woods all day. I've had walking sticks about as much!
The more we played with the thing, the more we grew to like the sleek design!
Apparently, others at the range were just as curious based on the questions and comments!
