    Soon to be unavailable too, so if you want one, better get in quick 👍
    They are halting civilian rifle manufacturing

      @BenchrestMarksman you're very welcome mate, this news only just broke in Australia the other day.
      Might be worth making a video on if you're keen on sharing with your followers 👍
      If you're keen on a larger calibre the la102 is a tac driver too ;-)

    I started shooting again after over 40 years of not shooting and purchased the LA101 in .22LR six years ago. I use it for Benchrest at my local range. As mine is unmodified, I shoot in the hunter class. We shoot alongside the target class guys. Not only have I come home with mostly gold medals, then silver medals and only three bronze medals in six years, I have outscored the target guys on several occasions. My best individual score of 250 out of 250 with 11 centres is actually one centre better than the target guys at my range. My scores started to slip in the last six months. After a thorough clean of the trigger group and bolt, my scores have improved. The greatest competition I get at the range is from other Lithgow owners.

    yeh, mate, because of the way you shoot and handle things, you are right up close all the time, I'll take your word, when you say it's nicely finished.
    I want to see you shoot this. Because you are right up close, I think you will enjoy how smooth that bolt is said to run.

      It is a 3D printed attachment that my friend got from eBay that attaches to the rifle. Basically it is an attachment that makes forend, wide so it sits in a bag more stable when doing benchrest

    Great vid, ya got me inspired to get one. I have a LA102 in 308, it’s an absolute tack driver with the right ammo (Federal 135 HP) half MOA all day. Can you or any other viewers with a LA101 please tell me what ammo it likes?

    I was looking for a 17HMR . Looked at this or CZ. Chose Aust at $400 more. However I expected better acuracy. I am over 60 ,been shooting a long time and I'm anal about tight groups. Admittedly I have only tried about 4 different types of rimfire ammo through it and rimfires are known for finding the right stuff to shoot best but never the less, I was expecting better.

    I’ve got LA102 in 243win.
    It literally shoots under half inch groups at 100m!
    I took it to the 100m range and did 3 shot groups. The biggest group was 0.51inch. All others were under half inch.
    Incredible accuracy. And I’m not even good at shooting. Oh, and it was factory ammo!

    I love mine. I have won many comps with it. It eats Tikkas for breakfast lunch and tea Cz are comparable the only downside to the la101is the trigger

    • @laurencebassett3952
      @laurencebassett3952 3 місяці тому

      @BenchrestMarksman yes there's several after market spring sets which help. On talk to Lithgow's engineers this was a deliberately done to make a very safe hunting gun and didn't expect it to find such a place in target shooting. Even after 38000 rounds every still is not rattley and can hold under half inch groups. The SCSA chassis made it more consistent but slightly bigger groups. If you could get a trigger weight of 8 - 10 oz it would frighten far more expensive guns

    Looks really nice... but this niche has kind of been taken over by PCP air rifles.
