Everyone should own a 10/22!
And the rear sight won’t adjust for windage. I bent the tool trying to move the POI to the left. I’ll call Tech Sights on Monday. Elevation was right on at 25 yards though.
Also, anyone interested in Tech Sights should know the front sight requires a 5 position AR front sight tool instead of the more common 4 prong type.
For the time being the accuracy is sufficient for my purposes. I appear to throw those fliers with rifles in general. A couple of rifles go low and left once per group.
I received and installed the 200 series Tech Sights. Here they are installed and ready for sighting in tomorrow.

FYI the factory front sight is really in there. I had to whale on the punch pretty good to get it out.
Isnt the Tech Sight like an old A1
Just push in the detent and turn?
“since it comes lubed”. Boy does it ever. That’s the biggest gripe I have with the Norma. If it were less slimy I’d be more inclined to load it to full capacity in the magazines.
I had not considered the lube and need to season the barrel for the Norma. I only have 25 rounds of it left of the 100 I bought for testing in various guns. It isn’t terribly useful in any of my 22s except my Henry. It doesn’t cycle reliably in any of my semiautomatic 22s.
The difference between the Norma and the CCI is less than might be evident in the photos above. With 5 shot groups they were basically the same during initial testing.

Ok, the CCI clearly does better with the eyeball test, but measuring the groups and including the flyer on the CCI, they’re much closer than they look.
I have about a dozen .22 rifles not one of them is a 10/22. A LGS has a 2nd year made for about $400 I'm thinking about getting.
My attempt to enable you, here's my 1966 model that I've had since the early '70s. I sent the trigger to Brimstone back a few years ago for their Tier 2 Sweet Spot trigger job. It came back at 2.0 pounds with a perfectly clean break, making the rifle even more fun to shoot, and enabling better accuracy - I'd definitely do the same again. https://brimstonegunsmithing.com/tier-2-intermediate-10-22-trigger-work/I have about a dozen .22 rifles not one of them is a 10/22.

I bought a sporter model (no barrel band), got a Shilen barrel and did both a bedding and trigger job. Turned it into a super target rifle.View attachment 1158890
