Well I piddled around and now FD is out of the 22 caliber ...anything wrong with getting a 177...TIA

I know nothing about the 705. I do have a few airguns and only one is in .22 caliber. I prefer .177 for almost everything.

What are you planning to do with the rifle?

It will shoot cheap pellets tuned low and heavy .177 slugs on high for the bigger rats n stuff. Great shot counts tuned to 10 pump pumper speeds.

I see that the 702's still are available in .22 but you're right about the 705's in .22. I'm not a fan of the bolt action however they do work ok with some TLC cleanup and re-lube but the side lever is the best hands down. I've thought about buying the side lever version of the .25 and put the valve in it that I have in my prototype .25 because that way I could have a sidelever .25. If I was you and had my heart set on a .22 705 I would give Mike a call on the phone because usually it doesn't take him that long for another shipment to show up, he might even have one coming right now. Whenever I've called him he almost always answers at 8AM Eastern Standard time.

I have a 705-9 .22 fully tuned by Mike 2/19/21 with a custom fit TKO moderator if your interested. A bit too loud for my neighborhood with kids on either side and with summer coming up it would just sit. Tuned at 2200 is getting 28 to 30 fpe.

My 705-9 in .22 is one of the best hunting air rifles that I own, they're honestly tough as nail's, I've been using mine for a year now, I basically fill it and go hunting with it. They are a little on the loud side but I'm only out in the woods with it anyway. For the price you sure can't beat them in my opinion. Basically the only thing I've done to mine is open the ports to 5/32" and replace the fill port o ring with a size that Mike M recommended for it and haven't had to replace it since. All the other o rings in it are still the ones that were in it to begin with.

Matt I like the looks of that TKO on there, it's much nicer looking than the ones that come with them.

Yes Wayne I agree....Mike Tiehen over at TKO did a fantastic job, all from pics and measures I sent him. Fits like a glove and does a fantastic job of centering the barrel inside the shroud.
