Range Report: 10/22 International
I haven’t shot this rifle in a long time. Mainly because the original rear sight fits loose and will slide around too easily. My solution was to install this receiver peep.
I ordered a new set of punches and will need to wait a week before putting the new sight on it.
It came with this fire sight but I couldn’t install it because I couldn’t find my brass punches.
I shot a full magazine through it at 35 yards offhand and couldn’t hit the bullet trap. I went inside and checked the new front sight height and discovered it was much higher. I loaded up another magazine and aimed a foot low and hit the trap all ten times.I ordered a new set of punches and will need to wait a week before putting the new sight on it.

As organized as you are I am very surprised that you couldn’t find the brass punches. You know that the day after you receive the new set you will find them.

I think it was in a box with all my tools that were left behind.RetiredSeabee wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 7:06 pmAs organized as you are I am very surprised that you couldn’t find the brass punches. You know that the day after you receive the new set you will find them.

Good to see you shooting 10/22s, again. Just like old times. We still have our mid 80s Sporter Deluxe. Might have to pull it out and put a few rounds though it sometime.
By the way, those factory front sights on a 10/22 can be a real challenge to tap off with a punch. Ours was a nightmare. Do have have a sight puller? In fact, it was to use that very same Williams peep.

Re: Range Report: 10/22 International
I had a sight puller at one time. I left so much behind and I’m still finding more and more stuff that I don’t have anymore.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 7:21 pmGood to see you shooting 10/22s, again.

We got ours out, but eventually just went back to a scope, anyway. Still wears a 4x Nikon Rimfire after all these years.

Re: Range Report: 10/22 International
I’ve always liked the look of the International but to date have never owned one. Love that Manlicher stock look. I’ve always had a desire to own a 7x57 with a full length stock. No need but maybe someday I’ll have one.
Thanks for posting the pictures of yours, nice eye candy for me.

I like my CZ full stock more with the traditional tangent sight.Hatchdog wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 10:45 amI’ve always liked the look of the International but to date have never owned one.
