Buy recommendations Anyone have one of these?

Saw this seemingly Canadian made .22 on Western Metal. Takes 10/22 mags. Can't find any I found or reviews, was wondering if anyone has any experience with these Northernrim Rifles. Seems like a too good to be true price for a domestic.

These are Chinese made ripoffs. If you want Canadian made buy a Savage rimfire.

Yeah, savage axis .22 was my first plinker and it’s still a blast to shoot. Never had an issue with it

My understanding is Canadian owned but made in china. I’d love to be corrected

Savage .22’s are made in Canada. Fuck that Chinese crap.

North Sylva Sports imports these rimfire guns. (Hence the NorthRim name). I think they're made in Turkey.

Receiver is confirmed to be stamped China, some people suspected Girsan out of turkey initially but that's not the case.

There's a thread on CGN on them. They seem like pretty good little plinkers. Chinese isn't always a bad thing, there are some very good Chinese 22LRs.

Chinese quality has improved on many things over the years. I'll have to read up on them on CGN. Thanks

Typical deception marketing. Like Churchill, Canuck and Dominion.
