Greetings and many thanks to many members for your helpful posts in helping me to make the SU-22 my first, and positively not my last firearm or Kel-Tec purchase. My research in to finding a light weight, packable rifle that was accurate and affordable to shoot led me to this site and helped me to make a well informed decision.
The experience has also been very educational in the matter of state gun laws and the hoops some have to jump through to exercise ones second amendment right. Hawaii, where I reside happens to be one of the stricter states for firearm ownership. Living on a smaller outer island with no gun shops or legal gun ranges has also proved to be a challenge in my legally acquiring and shooting this great little rifle. My persistence and patients was definitely worth it.
I received mine from Able Ammo (Great customer service by the way) via my FFL dealer (another added fee on top of shipping out here) about six weeks ago and have since put about six hundred rounds through it. I could not be happier with how its breaking in. I keep it very clean and oiled due to the very humid climate here and am stoked at how easy the rifle is to break down and clean.
Acquiring ammo is another challenge on a small island, for the paradise tax is high on ammo. I have been shooting bulk Winchester dynapoint hp, CCI stinger hp and CCI blazers. I have had no problems with CCI ammo and I am glad cause the stingers cost 10.00 bucks!!! for a pack of fifty here. What's the going rate on the main land anyway? The Dynapoints are cheaper and in the beginning I was having some failure to feed problems consistently. Not any more though. My last outing I went through three full clips with no problems at all. My groups at 25 yds with the iron sites are getting tight, both in the prone and standing position. I have to do my shooting in the back country where they filmed Jurrassic Park, fortunately not to far from home. I will post some pics soon....
So far a big thumbs up for the American made and lifetime warrantied Kel-Tec SU-22!!
As far as modifying I really like the charlie stock configuration but the pistol grip collapsable looks really cool too. Where can I find one and how much? Also Optics, Looking at the compact BSA tactical series. Any input??
