Hey, I bought my Ruger 10-22 when I was about 14. Paid $ 88 for it new. This was about '76.

A few years later I was using my Grandpa's, (Uncles) and Grandpa decided we needed a scope. So we put a nice 4x on it. It was about a 1964 model, much nicer.

When I was moving, my Uncle said do you have my 22? I went and fetched his next to mine, and his was sporting a scope, unbeknownst to him. He saw my other 22, that I bought, and insisted it was his, so he took my newer one......

SCORE!!!!!

It sure shoots well...........

I have a Savage 110 in 270Win...
The most accurate hunting rifle I've ever used...
And I've used alot...

 

[RVALUE]

I have a .270.


Mauser.

 

[RVALUE]

Not mouser.

I have a Savage 250 / 3000. I used to shoot rabbits at 300 yards, open sights.

Not any more, bullets are too precious.

Quality arms...
Average accuracy...
But sturdy German fare...

Those are rare... I'd like to find one someday. Wasn't the 22Hornet based on that cartridge??

I used to shoot CA ground squirrels with that 10 - 22 at 100 to 125 yards. Nobody believed me until I showed them.

Had a 'contract' to shoot them for $ 1 ea. in about 86. After 4 days, my Uncle (different) asked me how I was doing, I said what ever the count was, which was over 100. That was the end of that deal.....

We got $ 25 for coyotes until it was learned that some people only shoot a little over once per coyote.

Some of those blokes shot 3 boxes / coyote which ran the rest out of the county.

Got fired from that job too.

Now I can't hit the broad on the side of the barn.

Just what are you saying?

 

[RVALUE]

At 300, those rabbits don't even know your shooting at them.

I love my M77 Sporter .243 and my Custom Mauser 8x57mm. The Garand could do a fine job of putting meat in the freezer though,... I still want another .223, a 6.5x55 Swede, a .338 Win Mag, a .45-70, a lever carbine in either .44mag/.45Colt and a .375H&H... A turn-bolt .35 Whelen would be fine. I may inherit 1887 produced, 1886 Winchester in .44-40!!!

 

[Hedgerow]

Just what are you saying?

Pssshhh.... Hard to tell most of the time...

 

[RVALUE]

Wait, hows the election going?


On second thought, Im a big liar. I don't have any guns.


Liar
Liar
Liar

You're thinking of the .22-250...

Are you related to my wife?

She has a different but equally demanding want list.

At 480 paces, a deer looks like a rabbit...

Mark just about has our saw shop dialed in.....

The 22-250 is a necked down 250-3000

 

[Hedgerow]

Correct...:msp_thumbup:
Ballistic history brain fart there...
I've always liked hearing how cartridges were named and by what means...
Some after men... Some with dates... Some by measure... Some all three or 2 of three....

I was deer hunting with a buddy, and I spotted a doe about 800 yards in the shadows.

He was talking about her mange, and the like. I could see better then with my naked eyes than I could with my $ 10 bushnell 8 x.

I thought he was full of BS, so I took a gander thru his 7x Zeiss'. I could see clear as a bell. (she was mangy)

There is a huge difference in optics.


Just saying.
