Hey there, gun enthusiasts! Welcome back to The Rimfire Report, where we dive deep into the world of rimfire – from ammo to history, and of course, those shiny new guns. Today, we’re getting up close and personal with the “new” kid on the block from Heckler & Koch’s USA division – the HK G36 22LR rifle. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “New? Really?” Well, it’s new to the USA, but it’s been turning heads everywhere else, so I snagged a T&E copy for a thorough review right here on TFB. We’re starting at square one, exploring this rifle’s brief history and what it brings to the table right off the bat. Stick around for future posts where we’ll put it through its paces for reliability, accuracy, and all the juicy details. But for now, let’s kick things off with the HK G36 22LR’s humble beginnings, courtesy of the German airgun gurus at Umarex. Let’s get this party started!
