Top Shot .22lr, accuracy test 55 yards, Tikka T1X

Today I test the Top Shot Competition .22lr. This is a budget, medium priced ammunition. What is possible to do with this cartridge? Will it perform as advertised? Watch and find out!
I have also a test on 100 meter, with a duel with the CCI Standard. Be sure to watch that video also.
If you would like to see tests of more ammo you will find this on my channel. There I'm in the start of a huge ammotest where my goal is to test all the following ammo;

Some are sold out, or unavailable at the moment, but I have 70+ of these at hand already. I will use my Tikka T1X with a Zeiss Conquest 6,5-20x50. Shooting will mostly be done prone, but I will be using a shootingrest when available. Range is 50 meters, or 54,7 yards. I will first run 10 shots over the chronograph to get an accurate velocity reading and prep the bore for the ammo I will be testing that day. I will then shoot five five shots groups to obtain an average group size. I will be dividing ammo into groups. They will be as follow; bulk, standard, match, high velocity, subsonic and specialtyammunition.
I'm looking forward to doing this test and share the results with you all!

It is made by S&B in check republic, its the S&B .22lr SV, made for Frankonia, a big German gun shop. They let the S&B .22 lr SV make it for theyr label top shot. Theres also 9mm, .357mag, .223, and .308. All made by S&B. So when you want to buy that in US, just buy the S&B Ammo.

[@thegunviking]

I think the manufacturer differs from year to year. Thats what I`ve been told from the importer anyway.

[@grizzlygrull]

@@thegunviking Last week, I bought a big number of these ammo (5000), and the big package was from CCI/SPEER, made in the USA. Thanks for your channel and best regards from France to nice people of Norway! 👍

[@thegunviking]

@@grizzlygrull Merci beaucoup, mon ami!

[@Quentin217]

I just now bought my very first box of Norma Tac-22. I paid a lot of money for it, so i am now doing some internet research on the product. It looks like I might have made a good investment. Thank you for your video. This is also the first time that I ever saw a video from the Gunviking. The name struck me odd inasmuch as guns and Vikings were widely separated on history's timeline. I think that the separation was fortuitous inasmuch as Vikings were profoundly awful with the weapons that they had. With guns they would have been immeasurably worse. From an Englishman of Anglo-Saxon heritage .

[@thegunviking]

As a norwegian I thought the name was appropriate😀. The Tac-22 ammo works well in all of my guns. Thank you for watching my videos! GV

[@dittrich241271]

I shot the TS in my CZ Sport III. Pervect !!!!

[@thegunviking]

So glad you liked Top Shot. I brought it to the range today. It was 3 degrees Fahrenheit, and it seemed a bit too cold for it. I had three misfires out of 25 shots. I've never experienced that in warmer weather with TS before.

[@calircpilot4261]

Awesome trials mate, can you give these a try? SK Match, Wolf Match Target, Wolf Match Extra, RWS Target, RWS R50? Thank you for the videos!

[@thegunviking]

I have SK Match, RWS Target and RWS R50 in stock. Wolf is unfortunately not available in Norway. I will try to test at leat one of them on my next trip to the range! Thanks for watching! PS! I'm releasing a new video in 10 minutes, the Eley Sport.

[@thegunviking]

The test I'm releasing today is with a Hämmerli competition pistol in Ransom Rest. The rifle ranges are closed at the moment due to high forrest fire risk.

[@jamesbyers9391]

Not bad I will try thim

[@cory8791]

Seems that they like a clean barrel!!

[@thegunviking]

For some reason my groups are always better on the upper targets.

[@PatricksFinanzen]

Thanks for the test. Max I ask, can this ammo be used in a .22lr Pistole like the GSG Firefly without issues? Thanks a lot.

[@thegunviking]

It works well in both my Ruger MKIV and Hämmerli 215.

[@garymatthews1316]

Is Top Shot 22lr ammo available in the USA? Love your videos. Well-made, great graphics and to the point. Enjoy your fun shooting at the ends.

[@thegunviking]

I`m not shure if they are available stateside or just in europe. I think I have heard that they are made for a german distributor, but can`t say for shure. Thank you for watching my videos! GV

[@rt66rc86]

Hi Gary, I found some just recently, here in Washington state. It's selling for $9.99/50 rnd. box here.

[@rt66rc86]

They dropped the price to $8.99 per 50 round box the other day! :)

[@garymatthews1316]

@@rt66rc86 Could you please send me the contact information for the company selling this ammunition? Thanks

@@rt66rc86 I hope prices will normalize soon.

Tikka are great ,they have very good factory trigger.

[@thegunviking]

Yes, the trigger is great.

[@paulscountry456]

@@thegunviking if you adjust the trigger on a T3x in 6.5 to the stop the gun can discharge just closing the bolt,it happened to me and shocked me good,gun was pointed at the ground and did not cause damage or injury.

[@thegunviking]

@@paulscountry456 The same happens on the T1. I`ve had a couple on mine before I corrected the issue. I have a Tac A1 also, but have not adjusted it from the factory adjustment.

[@paulscountry456]

@@thegunviking I set mine back to factory setting and no problem now,they said you can adjust them lighter to the stop just a horrible situation to have unexpected discharge.

3rd and 4th targets must have had a strong breeze or shooter lost his focus

[@richardfisher3656]

Never heard or seen this ammo!

[@thegunviking]

They don`t make their own ammo, but rather buy from other manufacturers.

[@richardfisher3656]

Love the cz hat in one of your videos! I can't find one anywhere in the states.

[@thegunviking]

@@richardfisher3656 I got one from the norwegian importer of CZ.
