I haven’t taken it out in a long time partly because I forgot about it. I use my Mossberg 46m most of the time because the ranger is heavy and doesn’t have a very smooth bolt. On the other hand not one of my .22LRs can beat it for accuracy. So I took it out to my range and sighted it in then had some fun. It drives tacks at 30 yards. I was shooting 7.62x54r cases off of the target stand with no problem. At 100 yards I can shoot a good enough group to hit coke cans. It’s a great rife just not something you would want to drag around the woods.

Nice video and I enjoyed it. Yeah, nothing beats those old .22s. I have a Remington 510P and 511 that I cling to and love to shoot. Again, nice videop and nice shooting.

Thanks. I do my best. I got asked by someone on YouTube to do one shooting it at 200 yards to see what kind of group i get. That is twice as far as i have ever shot a .22lr but I'm going to give it a try.
