I pretty sure that Academy -nor- assPro carry any Aguila.Blindpig wrote:Toy, do you know if any of the chain stores like Bass Pro Shop, Academy, etc. carry the Aquila brand? I haven't seen it around the Tulsa area.
I've seen Aguila at a local GunShop in FtW
and some at Cabela's... I get mine (Colibre & 40gr SubSonic)
at the GunShows... the "Interceptor" is new enough that it takes
a while to get on the 'Inventory List' of the bigger stores...
that want to handle the MX-ammo anyway...
most seem to want to stay with the BigBoys: ATK(CCI+Fed), Win, Rem, PMC ...
Your "Big Tulsa ArmsShow" (Oct 20-21) is bound to have some.
IMO: .22LR barrels+ammo are finiky(sp?) so why work to find the
std-velocity or subsonic that works nicely in each .22
and then start feeding it some new Hot-Pellet...
that said... I'll get me a box or two when I see some...
just to play with, then retire them to the back shelf with the
Aguila-60gr-sloths and Rem(Soft-Pb)ThunderBolts...
If I want a fast-22... I'll stay with my .223... my little
Savage/Stevens "200" in .223 is really a nice rifle for not much $$
http://www.SavageArms.com/st_200short.htm
it is my understanding... that the "Stevens" are the same receiver,greener wrote:Much difference between the Stephens and the Savage?
bolt, chamber and barrel ... just the trigger and stock and maybe
the finish are a "notch down" from the Savage...
I priced the Stevens-200 (with an after-mkt trigger) -vs-
the Savage with the AcuTrigger(tm)... cheaper with the Stevens...
It seems that many folks that want to customize their bolt-centerfire
will get the Stevens for the receiver and change out the barrel and
stock... then rework the bolt-face... I have the Choate/varmint stock
for mine and a ??trigger, but have not put them on as yet...
and the barrel-nut wrench, too. (got them on-sale at MidWay)...
still considering a barrel... but I've not shot it enough
to even seriously tweak a "load" for it... just something to Tinker(tm) with...
I keep "eyeing" the http://www.EABco.com/savagebarrels.htm
The forum on http://www.SavageShooters.com/
has a CenterFire section that I read when I have time...
(you have to register to read them...)
They talk about changing-out barrels/bolts like I would insert a
freshly loaded Mag in my MK2...
back to Aquila... take a look at http://www.ColeDistributing.com/
( select Product-Info, then New-Production-Ammo )
they have Aguila. I've not bought from them, as I've found what
I wanted locally... but they are out there...
I didn't see "Interceptor" in the list.. an eMail should confirm availability.
just got an eMail-flyer from http://www.MidWayUSA.com/
they have Aguila...
the Aguila "Interceptor" is their product# 727748
at $4.70/box:50 YOU can try them out and let US know what you think....
