Lithgow LA101
- Thread starter WOLFMAN2018
- Start date
There are some youtube videos of the Lithgow but I never bought one but some of them show to be good shooters and some not so good. Now that I looked at them again they seem to have took a big jump in price around or near $1500. if you can find one.

Here in Australia, they are very common and like all mass produced rim fires, some are better than others.
I've owned LA101's since their release in 2014/15 and very happy with mine.
They did have some magazine issues early in the piece but that issue appears to have been addressed in later models.
Both mine have a few "up-grades" mainly because I like the actions.
The triggers draw a bit of flak but with a bit of work and spring changes, they break cleanly at about a pound. I shoot mine alongside a TT Special in a Vudoo regularly and the triggers feel very similar.

My wife has her own LA101 - Looks like this:
I have several 700 foot print customs here - The LA101's give away nothing accuracy wise and have proved reliable over many thousands of rounds.

I'm very pleased with mine. It's been my go to gun for smallbore silhouette and small game hunting. I also have shot NRA 3p sporter. It'll never be an F-class gun ,but It excels as an offhand rifle. People complain about the trigger, but it is very nice. My issue is with how narrow the trigger blade is. It makes a 2lb trigger feel much heavier. The triangular shape of the back of the blade makes it difficult to get a trigger shoe to sit properly. It's an accurate , reliable, well balanced gun.
Sounds like it must be a decent rifle.

I’ve had one for several years. Local gun shop owner sold me his for a very nice price. The only one I’ve seen in the states. After shooting it on my bench at 50 yds and working on the trigger. I came to the conclusion that the 101 would be the rimfire I would grab if I could have only one gun.
It shoots extremely well with my lots of CenterX & Midas.
The best part is it shot all rimfire ammo accurate.
I have a lot of rimfire rifles and not enough time to play with them all , but I really enjoy shooting the 101.

Yes they are. Unfortunately they are no longer imported. I bought mine in late 2019 for about $750. Now people are asking Anschutz prices.
Seems odd that Lithgow haven't been able to appoint another US based importer/distributor.
Given the $ exchange rate in recent years, these rifles would probably retail for less than we pay here in Aus.
