The X-5 Lightning was the first rifle made by Ithaca. It is a semi-automatic .22 cal rim-fire, and was made between 1958 - 1964. They came with a clip that held either 7 or 12 shells, or a tubular magazine that held 16 rounds. The X-15 was an "improved" version made between 1964 - 1967, and only came with a clip.
