Got the latest Cleavers 'specials' email and they have Armscor rimfire (22LR and Mag) pretty cheap.
Anyone know anything about Armscor ammo? Their website says it's made in the Philippines. Other forums vary in their opinion of the stuff.

Re: Cleavers for cheap rimfire ammo
I think that Armscor was the company that made ammo that was marketed under the Stirling brand. If so, it was just ammo, nothing flash, but did the job, the standard 22lr HVHP ammo was dirty shit.

As Camel said. Stirling, Highland now Armscor.

yep ! you are 100% correct it's pretty average, I would rather buy SK or ELEY and hit what I aim at

Re: Cleavers for cheap rimfire ammo
The projectile looks a lot like the Winny's that refuse to cycle cleanly through lever actions. I might have given them a go but once I saw that shape I knew they'd be problematic in my lever...although probably fine in the bolt actions.lee_enfield223 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 7:49 pm yep ! you are 100% correct it's pretty average, I would rather buy SK or ELEY and hit what I aim at
Even so, I'm and SK fan when it comes to hitting things with a 22.

Re: Cleavers for cheap rimfire ammo
Someone gave me some highland ammo once, if it is that crap do not be in a hurry for any follow on shots as it will not cycle quickly even through a bolt gun.
Only time I have ever lost a duelling tree match was when trying to use that garbage
