Rimfire Madness: The Infection Begins

[patience0830]

Very wise input, gmcttr. You know me well.
You are right. I don't regret paying good money for a good firearm & have double invested in what I have compared to when I started out the first year.
You mentioned the Shadow 2.
I would buy a Kadet .22LR kit for it just for fun if I thought it would cycle my SAO flat light trigger, but from what I've read, springs have to be switched out, not just the slide to make it work, then back again for the 9mm.
Since I hate the Urban Grey (not grey, not tan, but an ugly combination I refer to as diaper brown), I've even thought of letting Allen Cerakote it.
Or maybe just getting grips to go with the Urban Grey crap color: I've looked, too many choices.

I am stunned at the prices of a good spotting scope.



Got an intro to doing that with hitting push pins at Crosley, but that was only 30 yds.



I thought the 10/22 was middling, but the RPR was all over the place!
Ruger 10/22 has a Nikon Prostaff 2 3-9 x 40 (50 yd. paralax)
Ruger Precision Rifle has a Hawke Vantage 3-9 x 40 (Did see paralax on box, maybe in manual.

Scope definitely limits your RPRR. Mine took a couple boxes of shells to approach it's potential. New, it shot CCI minimags better than other stuff. Now it is much better with the std vel and subsonic ammo.

definitely the best part Of shooting with others and trying new things. The bad part is doddg is costing me money wanting to buy expensive stuff and I’m trying to save him money with budget friendly things that outperform their more expensive competition

That's why I love trying new things, you never know when you'll try something that changes things for the better.

Funny how that works...

Leaving the range now. Wanted to see what the 10/22 would shoot.

1st pic is on a bench at 50yds and 2nd is at 100yds. A little bit of crosswind.

 

[zachcz]

i picked up a 10/22 in a trade today. Curious to see how it shoots. Doddg has it to take and evaluate at 100 yds before I even get to shoot it lol. I rarely get past 50 due to limitations where I usually shoot.

I can't imagine it being any better than the Savage 2 I shot yesterday, which beat my two Rugers.
The fun is in the trying, however.
This time, I'll hope my Rugers beat your Ruger!

 

[zachcz]

well if yours don’t outshoot it’s we can make a deal I’m sure!

No doubt, but I'm going to learn to shoot my Ruger rifles to hopefully compete with that Savage.
By the way, I never lightened up the trigger any: to busy trying to get on that 2'x2' target at 100 yds.
Between our shared admiration for the CZ & .22LR, we should have been doing more trading back when I was turning over guns more than now.
I'm starting to get attached to the "survivors."
I can't believe you are the one who bought my 1st CZ Rami back in Dec. of 2018, & I've bought a .22 rifle & at least 2 Ruger .22 handguns from you fairly recently.

 

[zachcz]

the rami is like a bad STD for me. I’ll get rid of one and over it but they just keep coming back. They have always been a favorite but for whatever reason I’ll get annoyed with them and trade it away. I’ve gotten a Ruger mk iv or 3 I can’t remember from you with some upgrades and I also believe a sw victory went one way between us. I’m to the point now I like 22 way more than anything else even my beloved CZs. So we will probably be in same boat for a while. I’m fairly happy with collection now but always a spot or two that get rotated by trading or selling

There's an NRA Smallbore match on Wed. I'm going to try to wrap up a few things at home and get a zero with my Ruger 10/22 full of Kidd parts tonight. The match will have both smallbore and high power shooters at the same time. I've never tried highpower.

I did make it to Point Blank for a 25 yd check, but didn't get to the 100 yds. at MCFG.
First row at only 13 yds. to see how far off it was, but it was near perfect since the previous owner shot it.
The rest of the page was at 25 yds, which is all that Pt. Blk. goes to.
Moving from right to left on the front row, you can see how quick it dialed in.

Here is a pic of the Ruger 10/22 rifle with the E.R. Shaw barrel (forget what stock called).

 

[zachcz]

archangel stock. Forget the exact model.

I did like the feel of it better than the lighter/smaller Savage 2.
The rings weren't high enough for me, so it was hard on my neck, but it shot well.

 

[zachcz]

I think it’s the deluxe target stock. Just wish it was threaded to run my suppressor.

[doddg]

I am blowing through my .22LR ammo at an alarming pace.
13,000 rounds in 12 weeks = almost an average of 1100 rounds per week.

I thought I had a decade supply of ammo stored up.
I could be wrong.

Can you not have a gunsmith thread it for you?

 

[zachcz]

I can just not sure I want to dump more money in it.

I can just not sure I want to dump more money in it.

A friend said it cost about $125-$150 to have it threaded.
You might ask what Allen charges & if he does it.
If he does & the price is where you want it, I could take the gun out to him when I pick up my car.

Count me in for the Taurus TX22 bandwagon. Picked one up today. I have high hopes for it.

Check the rear sight to make sure it's in place correctly and tight. The one my F-I-L bought worked about half out of the dovetail in about 50 rounds.
