The bolt cocks on opening and has a protruding shroud-type cocked indicator. The action is pure CZ 452 with a straight, ball-ended handle and the topmounted, rotary safety catch that pushes forward for SAFE (action locked) and back for FIRE. The butt has the classic sling slot and metal securing bar insert and is finished with a steel plate. Up front are two bands, the forward one incorporating the bayonet bar and a short section of cleaning rod, the rear has a fixed loop for the sling. The Р’С•-length stock looks like beech and thereРІР‚в„ўs a short handguard on top of the barrel.

Physically the JW-25A is smaller and lighter than the 98 though big enough and comfortable to shoot for just about anyone.

ItРІР‚в„ўs never going to replace my Ruger M77/22 as my primary rabbit basher, though itРІР‚в„ўs capable, although threading the barrel for a moddy might be a tad awkward due to the front sight! Some will be turned off by the clunky military look and feel, whereas others, myself included will like it for what it is. In truth itРІР‚в„ўs a sporter dressed up to look like the original and in that is its strength and weakness. As to my knowledge itРІР‚в„ўs the only current commercial, military-style bolt-action rimfire made. Why Norinco decided to re-invent this rifle is a mystery as itРІР‚в„ўs certainly distinctive and unique. A bit like getting a variation on your FAC! Called the Kleinkaliber Wehrsportgewehr (small calibre military and sporting rifle) it was a single-shot design and passed into history. Historically Germany did make a 22 LR Mauser-like trainer after the First War to get around the restrictions placed on them by the Treaty of Versailles one of which limited the amount of centrefire ammo that could be produced. Quite often to a specific request from an importer, a good example being Highland OutdoorРІР‚в„ўs Puma. I have seen a number of these types of rifle over the years in various formats from sporter to target as the design is sound and the Chinese make them cheap and apparently in quantity too. Made in China the action is a dead copy of the CZ452 2E, possibly the most popular and prolific 22 bolt-gun in the UK, if not the world! In this case they have used it as a base for a cosmetic K98 build and though not an exact copy it has most of the features to give it that look and appeal along with good shootability. The JW-25A sort of comes at this from two directions. The action is certainly notable as it was and to a greater degree still is the wellspring for most modern sporting bolt-actions.

I admit to having a penchant for the Mauser 98 in all its full size/calibre options as I think itРІР‚в„ўs probably the most accurate of the service rifles of the period. I first tested the Norinco JW-25A about three years ago and what initially appealed was the fact it looks like a mini Mauser K98 service rifle from World War II. Pete Moore revisits the Chinese Norinco 22 LR Mauser 98 copy and still finds a great little rifle With 22 rifles seemingly getting more and more technical and for that matter expensive I make no excuses for taking another look at a gun that is fun, practical, historically unusual and exceptionally well priced.
