      .22LR Range Fun

      4th round with the Colt King Cobra .22LR, 6", 10 rd, SS. I am enjoying it with no immediate plans to sell it. This trip I used 4 ammo brands: - 3 were common bulk ammo - SK on the last row was a better grade. Each row a different ammo @21' on 1.75" circles. I was pleasantly surprised. - 1st...

      .22LR Range Fun

      Always appreciate your positive comments. :thumbsup: Totally agree with your Buckmark comment. I have have had a couple of Ruger Mark 3s with varying degrees of upgrades. One of them shooting as well as my best shooter. I let it get away from me b/c I was reticent about the disassembly and...

      .22LR Range Fun

      Enjoyable time with a Browning Buckmark Pro Target with Sig MSR-Romeo red dot & Ruger Mark 4 w/wood grips & Bushnell red dot. CCI Blazer 38 grain, 1235 FPS, SLN. 30' at 1.75" circles. The Buckmark gets better groups. The Mark 4 trigger I do not care for. I "cheated" though, I rested the barrel...

      anyone own a keltec p-17?

      I chuckled when i read your reference, "the stars have aligned, and the money is there." Funds were low at a time and I'm still kicking myself for not stretching out to buy a "bucket list" used $1200 gun that the person came down from $1000. They got their $1200 at a gun show one weekend while I...

      anyone own a keltec p-17?

      I get their daily email. and Rural King seems to have them on sale regularly. If you have a RK nearby, it only costs $10 to have one delivered to a local store, if they don't have them in the store.

      Looking for .22LR rifle that works for me

      WOW! I knew they had 14" barrels to go on the Contender 22 LR. The first time I saw a Contender for sale with only a .22LR barrel, I ran not walked to buy it, hahaha! It came with a 10 inch barrel and I wondered if I should even bother getting the 14 inch? I had no idea they actually even came...

      Looking for .22LR rifle that works for me

      Appreciate your helpfulness & experience! :thumbsup: Did you notice, I did what you suggested and used 1/2" or 3/4" circles or squares instead of just my 1.75" circles testing accuracy/groups to illicit better accuracy (smaller targets, smaller groups) I was surprised it worked so keenly...

      Funny Political Picture/Video Thread Part 9** The other side is still making it easy!

      Also, probably a pocket knife folded up in their pants their father or older brother gave him. I can remember my older brother and I taking a couple of hatchets outside on the property and practicing how to throw them at a tree till they'd stick. Nobody said a word: normal behavior. Today, a...

      Looking for .22LR rifle that works for me

      Both scopes: - adjustable eyepiece - 3-9 - no parallax (which I think is the problem) Only shooting at 25 yds, and I think they are set up for 50 yds?? On both scopes, when I look out my window at home around 50 yds, it is perfectly clear, not compromised: - Tasco on TCR - Nikon Prostaff on...

      Looking for .22LR rifle that works for me

      Fun day with two .22LR rifles: - Thompson Center TCR (10/22 clone) - Ruger 10/22 walnut stock Brought the sled today so no excuses, except my eyes. :laugh: I wasn't happy with scope on either rifle I was using. I couldn't use maximum magnification with clarity on reticle. Used CCI Blazer 36...

      .22LR Range Fun

      Not the first time I've run across this ejection syndrome. I just assumed some ammo cases swelled more than others after being fired. I did try to keep some records of hard-to-eject. 1st Day: 1st 10 cylinders = I used CCI Mini-Mags (1235 FPS). On the 5th & 8th cylinders (and another, I think)...

      .22LR Range Fun

      Got out the Ruger Mark 4 & Browning Buckmark Pro Target with red dots. The Browning had tighter and more consistent groups. I really noticed trigger better. Pics say it all. Used CCI Blazer 38 grain, 1235 FPS, SLN. 30' on 1.75" circles or 3/4" on blue squares. Was dialing in red dot on...

      .22LR Range Fun

      2 things I forgot to mention. In researching the Colt King Cobra 22, there was some discussion about the rounds being hard to eject from the cylinder sometimes. I had to push the extractor against the bench on the brands listed below. Also, early on there was some FTFire using DA. Explanation...

      .22LR Range Fun

      3rd range visit with the new Colt King Cobra SS 22 6", 10 rd. Been cleaned each range visit. Total of 910 rds through using 9 ammo brands. Big difference today: I put the barrel on a rest in addition to my hands. I also shot at 3/4" squares, as suggested for a smaller focus, and it worked!!! 5...

      I have bought my last gun

      71 here & been retired since 2019 & thought I'd scale back after retirement, getting back to my previous, "maximum" number of guns. Didn't happen, although I did sell most of the range 9mm/38 sp/.357 magnum handguns b/c of ammo costs. Really been working at lowering "the maximum," for the past 2...
