Hammerli Storm Elite

The stainless steel looks great. The synthetic stock, imitation burlwood feels nice. Very good power.10 shot avg. 845 fps. using H&N FTT 8.64 gr. over my chrony. The gun has a quality look and feel to it. Open sights are nice and bright, highly functional.

Trigger pull is hard. A little creep in it. Not horrible, but could be better. Might get better with use.

I bought this rifle for my Father-in-law, who shoots it with open sites. I was nailing small metal spinners @ 50 yards time and time again. Shot right through a rabbit's neck @ 30 yards using RWS Hobbies. Dead right there. I did not think that it would go all the way through with the Hobbies because they are a wadcutter pellet, I was wrong, and that's a testament to it's power.

Excellent power and accuracy with easy cocking. Highly visible 3-dot sights. Nice balance with good stock design for adults.

Somewhat flimsy adjustable rear sights.

Trigger is advertised as 4.5 lb. pull but feels considerably heavier than that. It has slight creep but is still controllable.

This is my 1st sping rifle. Very loud (a 5 in my book), heavy but crisp trigger. Lite weight for a rifle, looks sharp, always liked the nickle gun, even if not avaiable would send slides to get hard chromed. This rifle replaces a Savage bolt action 22 lr rifle I've been using in the back yard with super colbri ammo (no gun powder in these sheels only primer charge very quiet but a box of 50 runs about $4.50 shoots about a .177 pellet size projectile) vs about $4.00 for a 500 rd tin of pellets.

Trigger too too heavy, a non shooter would probably not have good acurracy.

Heavy pellets work good 8gms or better. Simmons 22 mag 4x scope and rings match up a little but the 3-9 x 40 Simmons with Lepold see thur rings best (but have 50 ft parallex only)
