Saw this very compelling Lipsey's exclusive condut on gun.deals last week and emailed my local family owned FFL (A F Boyer Hardware in Slatington, shoutout to them for being in business since 1868, across 5 generations!) about it. Turns out they already had this specific configuration rifle on order and I could have it when it arrives.
Well, arrive it did.
I already have a 50th anniversary 10/22 that I got back in 2014 and decided 10 years is long enough to justify adding a second to the armory. But what I wasn't expecting was the factory installed BX Trigger. This thing has an astonishingly light and crisp ~2¼ lb trigger pull out of the box. Lighter even than the Volquartzen TG2000 that I installed on the 50th anniversary rifle I already have.
Between the BX Trigger, extended mag release, threaded stainless barrel (flash hider is a little silly but looks cool I guess), factory hooded aperture rear and hooded front blade sights, Magpul X22 stock (excellent ergonomics compared to the admittedly prettier wood stock on my existing rifle), this may be the finest factory 10/22 I've ever laid hands on. If it shoots as well as it looks and handles, it's a bargain at the street price of ~$490 in 2024 dollars (they just ain't worth what they used to be).
Will update thread when I get it to the range, plan on testing with my Dead Air Mask HD silencer, which hopefully is slim enough to see the top of the front sight blade over.
