Design and features

As a Bolt Action platform, the GECO DEUTSCHES ‘SPORTMODELL’ brings a 26-inch barrel to the table — a length that helps with velocity consistency and sight radius for iron-sight precision. The rifle includes a front sight paired with a tangent-leaf rear-sight calibrated from 25 to 200 metres, a feature normally found on fullbore competition and service rifles that benefits deliberate shooters who need predictable holdovers and quick elevation adjustments.

Sighting system and practical use

The tangent-leaf rear-sight lets an operator dial approximate elevation for multiple distances rather than relying solely on point-of-aim corrections. For .22 LR work, that range of calibration supports structured training drills out to extended rimfire distances and provides a useful learning curve for shooters transitioning to centerfire systems. The front sight and long barrel combine to give a clean sight picture for precision dry-fire and live-fire practice.

Performance and applications

Chambered in .22 LR, this rifle excels for marksmanship training, small-bore competition, and economical range time. The caliber’s low recoil and ammunition affordability make it ideal for teaching sight alignment, trigger control, and follow-through. The 26-inch tube can stabilize common .22 projectiles, improving consistency for group work at 50–100 metres and allowing experienced shooters to explore ballistic nuances at longer yardages.

Geco is a recognized name in ammunition and small-arms heritage; the DEUTSCHES ‘SPORTMODELL’ reflects that pedigree through its sighting package and build intent. Priced at 1670.99, it sits in a niche for shooters seeking a historically styled, precision-focused rimfire bolt action. View product details and pricing
