I have always been a fan and owner of what I call decent .22 "target sporters." I like them pleasing to the eye and also want them to shoot small groups. Some have been posted on this forum previously. The rifle below is making me smile today. It is a Springfield 1922 MII .22 long rifle made...
Love those Smiths displayed above. I also love SW .22s. A few of mine:
Above are my 17-4 and my 18-3. The 17 wears Cullina grips and the 18 wears Ahrends. Both with target hammers and triggers. For some reason, I seem to shoot the 18 better and it is, by far, my favorite blued Smith...
Played around a little with my Sako this afternoon and finally shot a perfect 120. I usually shoot 5 shot groups and have my scope adjusted so the groups are NOT hitting dead center. I do this so I don't destroy my aiming point. So the first order of business was to adjust the scope to point...
Questions: How does a 19 year Florida resident now obtain a deer rifle for next fall? Can a parent gift him/her one? Are transfers among immediate family members exempt? What if his parents live out if state - a Florida dealer wouldn't' be able to do a transfer. Can he borrow one? Can he...
Looking for a detailed report on the Florida law. Sometimes the devil is in the details. One newspaper indicates the three day waiting period for long guns in the new law is waived for those with a ccw or hunting license. Wonder what else is in there that has not yet been reported in the press.
Yep, well aware of when the anodozing stopped (mine beat the deadline) and the timing of the many changes the 10/22 has gone through over the years. Nothing really wrong with the newer ones (I have one too), but I guess I am old school (and just plain old) and prefer mine with the anodized...
When I was around 10 or 11, I (with major help from my father) used this theory to calculate the average velocity of a BB fired from my Red Ryder. At some distance above the ground (3 to 5 feet, can't remember exactly) a BB would take exactly 1/2 second to fall to the ground (32 ft per...
Enjoying this thread. My long term favorite recommendation is the 10/22. The one below was produced in 1968 and purchased new by me that year or the next. It has a walnut stock, anodized receiver, and all metal parts (including buttplate and barrel band). It has probably bagged a couple...
Yep, I am 68 and can use peep sights accurately when the lighting is good and (as other posters have mentioned) the target and apertures are of the correct size. The official NRA 50-yard small-bore rifle target shot at 50 yards works best for me (go figure). It is easy to find aperature...
