Went to the range today.

I hadn't been to a rifle range for about 50 years. Never used a scope before.
It took me about 20-25 rounds to walk the holes over to the bull......we started out about 6 inches to the right & maybe 2 inches low at 50 yards. I was shooting 3 round groups......not to shabby, bout 1-1.2 inches. I've always shot a filer for some reason....but it's samller than it used to be.

Did 2 in the bull and one on the edge and quit......my moma didn't raise no fools. Put a mag full thru the P22 and went home....it was cold & damp.

I need a spotting scope and I'll go back when the weather is nicer.
Time well spent, me thinks.

Oh, got another 525 round brick at the gun show.....wish I knew I needed the spotting scope. My 1943 USN binocks have disappeared...damn.

Back when I was your age we didn't use scopes.
We squinted real hard til it came into focus, and we were glad to do it!

Hey whatever hapepned to the moose-stang? Get that timing issue or whatever it was straightened out?

You've never been my age, aXXhole.

Sent that dizzy back to Pertronix. Put in another Pertronix.....a billet jobbie that is wider & taller but not an ideal fit and no mo problems...12-15 deg advance as it should be. Haven't heard back from Pertronix yet.

I was thinking you meant the golf driving range

I went to the range today too. hit a big bucket and a small one to follow.

[vash]

what caliber rifle?

[J P Stein]

My new 10/22 Ruger & my older, but unfired Walther P22.
The semi-auto 10/22 is kinda fiddly with them little levers down around the trigger.
The lever that holds the bolt open and then closes it is a piece of......over engineering. The colder ones hands get the more cussing at it goes into the operation. My semi-functional hands don't help none.

The Walther works just fine, thanks......must be a German thing.

Sorry, I didn't answer the question.....I hate that.
.22 cal.

The factory bolt release sucks.

Simple to install the Kidd Design replacement part which allows you to simply rack the bolt back a little to release it. Might as well add the urethane bump stop while you have it apart.
Can get both parts for $20-25

The Ruger 10/22 is a very nice rifle.
My set up is simple... Peep rear Tech-sight and Tech-sight front post.
It is Co-witnessed by a Bushnel TRS-25 3 MOA red dot.
I shoot paper targets anymore. No killing stuff.
Fun and still inexpensive to shoot compared to centerfire.

The 10/22 is really suited for the Appleseed clinics.
The clear rotary mags are nice too.

I don't kill anything I won't eat. Bout the only rifle kills in the past were Grouse....there was alot of em' East of the wall back in my hunting days but I don't see them over here on the West side. I'm kinda old to be stomping around alone in the woods to boot.
