Great shooting! Great group.
Attachment 267420
Got in on the tail end of the S&W $75.00 rebate. Picked up a .45 Shield to keep the 9MM company. S&W has another special going on right now, but for the nonce I'm not in the market for any additional firearms.
I've got the same 9mm Shield on it's way to me from PSA, great price with all the rebates and coupons totaled up.Quote:

Just be yourself think about what you going to say don't ramble on like we sometimes do, If you have any questions for the FEO then make sure to ask be confident and try and show a good knowledge of the gun laws and ammo and quarrie you are going to shoot, they will pretty much know everything about you when the visit comes that will included looking through all your medical history plus they would have more than likely made contact with one or maybe two of your referees, if your Gun cabinet and application is OK plus your medical and crimminal record is OK then I can't see there being much of problem good luck.Quote:

I'm fairly confident all will be ok 😉 I have had a chat with a few folk I know and I think I can safely say my cabinet placement should cause no concerns, it's well concealed.
Although I have just found my club has been approved for full bore and muzzle loading... So maybe a variation next year.

Also make sure you have a good internet connection as he completed the registration on his PC using my WiFi so I had to give him my access code.Quote:

I actually prefer the "non-thumb safety" version, but the price difference between the two was pretty hefty. Can't exactly figure that one out
So the man came. Seemed pleased enought with my security.
He phoned all my referees and club.....
Just waiting for decision now.

Thing about the 10/22. You can do a ridiculous array of modifications to them.
Heavy barrel? Magazines galore, Want it to look like an AR? A .30 carbine? An AK?
Laminated stocks, thumbholes, pink, camo, you name it. A friend has a crank that goes on the trigger. Really lays it down! :rofl2:
I think this has kept the price of them up. Hell, It's a cheap .22!
I have never bought one as the price seems double to me. People buy them to mod them.
I have a Nylon 66 and a pump Winchester anyway. Interestingly, a little Mossberg Plinkster came my way recently. Great little thing for really cheap.
They should start selling stuff for those. Would be a great accessory mule as well, IMO.
Me! :)Quote:

How much are 1022s selling for in the US then?Quote:

Last Easter I bought one for my son, I believe that was $185. It's a great little rifle. Tons of fun to shoot.
Yes it would be easer to ask who doesn't in the USA or if not you did at one time. One of the best all around 22 ever built. And the mist owned? The Marlin/glen field semi auto with the leaves carved in the hand grip TcQuote:

Either way, good deal on a great little gun!
Ah for new they are around about 200 starting here. I thought they would've been considerably higher due to firearms being less available here.Quote:

Not this one, though....It's black with nickel barrel and receiver.Quote:

It was big box store, I was even surprised by the price. It wasn't the take down model just standard poly stock black. My boy loves it and I want one now. :)Quote:

My 10/22 is the heavy barreled one that I have sunk a bit of coin into. Sent the barrel off for a "tri-lux" treatment at some barrel place a long time ago. They stress releave it by three processes, one was heat, one was cold, and I don't remember the third. The trigger was replaced with a volquerson and it wasn't where I wanted it, so I polished it out. My old Vietnam sniper buddy got me into a little group of guys when I lived in K.C. and we shot groups at 100 yards...normally betting on each set of groups. That's what got me into match shooting and long range. He knew what he was doing...
After a few hours target practice today the weather was so nice I couldn't resist taking a few photo's, this rifle is a joy to use great grouping putting CCi subsonic 40gr hollow points through the rifle, I'm so pleased I went with my gut insticts when I purchased the rifle it felt so right when shouldered a great rifle and I can only say positive things about the trigger and I love the straight pull action, I can fully understand how many would find the trigger a little heavy but personally I find the trigger breaks so crisp and clean I can overlook the pull.
Been shooting twice in the past 2 weeks! Been up here at new job for 2 years and haven't been REALLY shooting other than at work. It took setting up the reloading bench all over again and getting everything all dialed in and going.
It's nice to be back.
Nice .22 rifle also!
Hooboy! Death to squirrels around here! I have the buggers all the time, but if you cannot go out and count less than 5 or six? Time to thin the herd.
A rig like Jamie's would be nice. For now it's a Gamo .177 and iron sights.
The old eyes and all.....
Update... FAC is at the last stage of approval. So here's hoping...
