TacSol Owyhee .22LR TD bolt
Price has crept from 1800 down to 1650 since coming to Australia in 2020. 1.77 kg bare weight. Drilled and tapped for an optics rail which is sold separately. Takes rugers 10/22 rotary mags. Made in Ameurica
Its nifty but it had better be reasonably accurate for the price.

I've got one, haven't had it for long but I'm pretty pleased with it so far.
I'm pretty impressed with the quality and the design. It's clear that it was designed by just a couple of people who know their stuff, not a massive committee.
The bolt handle is tiny so it doesn't protrude out much, and it has this bearing looking thing on the handle that makes it super smooth and easy to run.
I will say it's definitely not for everyone. 95% of people probably don't need a .22LR that can take down, but if you are after a serious takedown rimfire the Owyhee is very compelling.
I've put it on paper at 50m and It would shoot less then an inch even with a red dot. I have no doubt I could've done better with a magnified optic. I was pretty surprised at first, but I remembered that Tac-Sol make upgraded 10/22 barrels so it makes sense that it shoots good.
Mine came with a pic rail in the box, and I couldn't notice any return to zero issues when taking it apart but it's always possible. The Magpul backpacker mount will fit on the Owyhee, but you just need to drill a hole in the mount to clear a pin on the rifle. That should eliminate any potential return to zero issues.

Good to hear some positivity! Hot tips, i have a 2-7x33 leupold with the Owyhee's name on it. Since posing i heard back from cleaver that the pic rail comes with, i neglected to edit. Not that it would have swayed the general consensus much. I wasnt sure what to think of a 'chromoloy' barrel, or whatever it was but despite their jarring name tactical solutions gets a good wrap. Thanks for the feedback
