Range Report: daily plinking

[fortyshooter]

Wore out a can from 35 yds. off hand yesterday. Love shooting this thing!

Good to see you out shooting forty. NCG here is my other fingergroove. It’s kind of a Frankenstein. The receiver is polished yet the barrel is blued. I would change the barrel but it’s a pre-warning and would make it even worse. The scope is a vintage Weaver V-22. The scope has lost some of its contrast but is otherwise a good solid scope. I put the Hornet trigger on it and I kept the original trigger to make it original again. I hit the trap ten out of ten tries at 25 yards.

Tomorrow’s firearm will be a Delux Sporter from 1968.

Neat seeing all the 10/22 stuff. The Ruger 10/22 has to have more variations of one model than about any other firearm. I still love the 10/22 and would like another one. Really like the 10/22 lite takedown model.

Did a little 45 colt plinking in the rain, 9 rounds on the big silhouette with the Rossi no problem.
Two handed 6 shots with the Pietta at the same gong from the deck was only 50% effective. 200 gr mbc bullets over 6.5 grs of Red dot.

Yep...ol' Red Dot will show you the way!

[Vaquero]

About to try out this ammo I ordered the other day.
It arrived Monday but I've been a little under the weather plus all the rain.

I hope to do another 10/22 report tomorrow.

I didn’t feel like bringing the other 10/22 downstairs so I just grabbed the Henry in the center.

The snow is melting fast.

I shot from here. The targets here are only for decoration. They are much to close to shoot.

Our strange winter continues. Good for winter plinking, though.

It’s AFC Championship halftime and I’m upstairs watching it with my rifles just feet away.

I quickly grabbed this underfolder 10/22 and went outside.

It has an Aimpoint red dot and is a good combination.

Here it’s folded. It can only be carried and transported folded. It can not be shot this way.

I shot two ten round magazines and came back inside to watch the second half.
