The Hammerli Arms Tac R1 22 C is an incredible value in a .22 caliber semi-automatic rimfire rifle. It is reliable, accurate, and easy to use and maintain. It probably isn’t quite as feature-packed or as adjustable as some of the more expensive options on the market, but it is a fantastic little rifle for both novice and experienced shooters alike.
The first thing to note about the Hammerli Arms Tac R1 22 C is how solid it feels in the hands. This is due to the all-metal construction. It weighs just under 7.5 pounds unloaded and is constructed of a hard-coated aluminum alloy receiver and a cold-hammer-forged chrome molybdenum heavy barrel. This combination provides a sturdy and reliable platform for accurate and reliable shooting.
The rifle features a matte black finish that matches up nicely with the overall aesthetic of the rifle. I personally prefer black matte finishes, but some people might appreciate the tactical look of a matte gray finish instead. It also comes with low profile military-style sights that work great for targeting out to 100 yards and beyond. One of my favorite features is the rubber recoil pad, which helps to absorb much of the recoil from the .22 caliber round.
The trigger on the Hammerli Arms Tac R1 22 C is its strongest feature. It is crisp and light with a very short reset and very little travel. It also has an adjustable pull weight between 3 and 6 pounds, allowing for a more tailored shooting experience. The safety lever is located immediately behind the trigger guard and is easy to access and manipulate.
Performance wise, the Hammerli Arms Tac R1 22 C is a capable rifle. I tested it with a variety of different .22lr cartridges and it reliably performed well. The accuracy was excellent, and I was able to consistently hit targets out to 100 yards without any major problems. The recoil was minimal, and there was very little muzzle rise, making it extremely easy to control for a novice shooter.
Overall, the Hammerli Arms Tac R1 22 C is an incredibly reliable and dependable rifle for any shooter looking for a budget-friendly .22lr rifle. It features a sturdy all-metal construction, low profile military-style sights, adjustable pull weight trigger, and impressive accuracy and reliability. It also comes with a 5-year limited warranty, which is always a nice bonus.
At the end of the day, the Hammerli Arms Tac R1 22 C is an excellent rifle for a great price. It won’t be the fanciest or the most feature-packed gun on the market, but it is a great option for anybody who wants a reliable and accurate rifle that they can use to take to the range or plink around the backyard with. If that is what you are looking for, then the Hammerli Arms Tac R1 22 C should certainly be on your list of considerations.
