has anybody tried the new centurion ammo yet?Does it perform as good as the old stuff,I am waiting for mine it's on back order but I heard that some people out in the western USA already have some.I hope it's as accurate as the old stuff.Let me know if you've tried it! thanks alot
Yes it is and it's a fine round that was ahead of it's time-in fact,a lot better than the .17s and even the .22 mag. By the way,you do know hitlery is rabid anti-gun right?

yes the ammo was almost gone in the 80's but I still have some of the original stuff,but I was starting to run low,when I found out on this forum that it was being produced again by aguilla.The original rem.ammo sells for about $75 dollars a box,I was about to invest in a centerfire conversion for my 37year old model591 and I heard the great news,I'm just hoping that the new 30grain ammo will group those 3/8 inch 100yard three shot groups that I have got with the original ammo.It's still on back order in the east,but it was available at the shot show in vegas and is already for sell on gunbroker,I have some ordered,but I'm like a kid at christmas and wanting to here good or bad about it,there are several websites about it and they are talking good about it,but there are several websites with people that have seen bigfoot also I want a report from people that aren't advertising anything and have honest opinions good or bad,I will soon know the truth.Thanks for you input's glad some people have heard or even shot this rare caliber that I love for small varmint and close range coyotes.thanks!
hey rsbcon these rifles haven't held any value over a $150 or so since the ammo was so hard to get I was lucky that I had plenty of ammo for mine,I could have sold it and made out good,I have seen some of the little rifles sell for under a $100,but I beleive this might change now that ammo is being made available again,this is a very good caliber and maybe america is ready for a more powerful small caliber rimfire than in 1970 when the rifle was introduced,we seem to have more money to throw into stuff these days,here lately 2 boxes of old ammo was worth more than the rifle,but that is changing.I've saw several auctions on gunbroker close without a bid on some of the old ammo at $75 and no takers.And I'm starting to see some folks selling what they got for a lot less,I still have about a half a box that was bought by my cousin in 1970's for about $5.80 a box it would have been nice to have a 100 boxes put back for 30 years and sold it before the new came along,I wish I could buy CD's at that interest rate.Savage,Taurus,T/C and Rossi are going to make firearm's for it and maybe ruger is what I've read on the 5mm website,and I had never saw a lefty model,I shoot lefty due to eyesight problems,ridge runner I will keep an eye out for a lefty and let you know of the price if it's for sale,I dont work the left hand bolt good it's on the wrong side!!
5mm rimfire.
