    Building a 10/22

    I am also working on a 10/22 build. As they say in retail: "Good, fast, or cheap. Pick two." For mine, I have chosen cheap and good, so I'm sure my build is going to take forever. I haven't actually changed anything on my rifle, so I'm not in a position to give you advice. Good luck and I...

    What was your first marksmanship badge of honor? .....

    I don't have any formal badges to my name, and can't really think of any from my childhood at the moment. I was just out plinking, or dove hunting. Nothing to write home about. However, about 5 years ago, I took a buddy of mine out to the farm for some shooting. He wanted to get a CC...

    What did you shoot today?

    Today, yes, today…I shot my 10/22 Sporter. Around 150 rounds if Federal Game Kings, trying to loosen it up just a little, then about 50 each of CCI SV and Aguila SV.

    New 10/22 Sporter

    I have some Vipers around here somewhere, but I could not find them. I was able to lay hands on some Federal Game Kings (40 gr., 1240 fps), so I went back to the range & put about 150 of those through it. Honestly, once I re-zeroed for them, accuracy was not bad, albeit only at 25 yards. Once...

    Guns for fun at the range, you say?

    Rear bag suggestions?

    So I guess I need to ask: Is there any real need to spend money on a bag? Or is fiddle-farting around with repurposed bags and fillers good enough?

    Rear bag suggestions?

    Welcome to this week's meeting of Overthinkers Anonymous. Frankly, even asking this seems a little silly, but here goes... I have a couple of rifles I shoot off a bipod. A Ruger American Rimfire and a Howa Mini. I use a Harris bipod that I like pretty well, but I don't have a rear bag. The...

    What did you shoot today?

    Why, oh, why do I never get around to posting here until the next day?!? 🤦‍♂️ Anyway, yesterday was a glorious 200 rounds through my Ruger American Rimfire Target. 4 targets each got 50 rounds each.

    Ruger American Rimfire, Ammo Testing

    Oh, it's absolutely a "barrel of monkeys" level of fun suppressed! It's the only suppressor I own, but it's been worth every penny I spent and every day I waited for the stamp. Maintenance isn't bad with the DAM. As I mentioned, this is my only suppressor, so be aware that I'm not an expert...

    Ruger American Rimfire, Ammo Testing

    Ah, that makes sense.

    Ruger American Rimfire, Ammo Testing

    Eh? Lead Round Nose of Aguila over... Copper Plated Round Nose? How could you tell?

    Ruger American Rimfire, Ammo Testing

    It was about 75* and sunny with a mild breeze so I took a couple of hours "mental health time" and went to the range. Same range as above, same lane, even. I took 100 rounds of CCI SV and 100 rounds of Aguila SV. This is the first outing since the last cleaning, including JB bore paste...

    Ruger Factory 10/22 Target

    Congratulations! Looks like you scored a nice rifle.

    New 10/22 Sporter

    I'm going to either copy or bookmark that for future reference. That looks like stuff maybe even I could do. This is kind of what I think, too. (Go ahead, give me another excuse to go back to the range...) Yeah, this is probably my next step after a few hundred rounds to loosen things up a...

    Some failures to feed, some failures to fire.

    New 10/22 Sporter

    I got her out to the range yesterday for a little zeroing. Unfortunately, my dumb behind didn't think to grab SV ammo, so I had bulk pack Winchester HV and 1 mag of subsonic to work with. I zeroed it as well as I could, the Winchester just wasn't very consistent. I'll have to go back when I...

    Can a Convicted Felon Go to a Firing Range Strictly as a Observer? No Handling or Firing.

    Federal law prohibits a convicted felon from possessing a firearm. It does not prohibit him from going to a gun range as a spectator. With that said, a quick look at the terms and conditions of his probation or parole. I would have said "consult the parole officer," but just noticed...

    Pancake for M&P

    My basic, go-to pancake is the DeSantis Speed Scabbard. I've also owned a Wright Gunleather pancake that I think was called a Predator. Very nice holster, but pricier.
