Remember somewhere in this video is a .22 rifle. I had to try several times to get it open http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/eaa-baikal-mp161-22-rifle/

Glad you joined us.

.22 pistol magazines can be expensive. Out of the different pistols in this house the ones for my Browning Buckmark Camper are the most expensive and never seem to go on sale :confused:

Ones like this when I tried to be a car salesman the joke was if the customer asked about gas mileage they couldn't afford the vehicle. Hope you figure the car out soon.

We have several apartment complexes just like it here in Albuquerque, amazingly all owned by the same group. After so much the city will go in with police, health and code inspectors, generally they find enough violations to at least temporarily condemn the property and evict everyone. Then if the owner doesn't make repairs the city will tear them down. They do the same with abandoned property also.

I like! Being the optic illiterate I am, would I be safe in assuming your combination is a red or green dot, with a magnifier?

Welcome to the group!

Cold can cause problems for sure, and for a rifle designed mainly for plinking I don't know if the maker would do cold weather testing or not, like they would for something they're trying to sell to the military. Even your choice of lube could be a factor in the cold. Also you might want to search the Ammo area here, there have been more than a few discussions about the ammo best for the different tactical .22s

My wife and I made another patch order of Mil-Spec Monkey patches. These are ones I put on my rifle base for the 10/22

I've been meaning to do these, but was either already busy when I thought of it, or just forgot about it when I wasn't busy.

Howdy and welcome.

I'll look forward to mine.

That's only because I'm almost ambidextrous when it comes to shooting. I've got to work on picking up the targets faster.

That would be cool, but we couldn't use the 1000 yard range, you have to attend an orientation and qualification class first. Here is a thought though if you can arrange to be here on the 3rd Saturday of any month you could do the tactical .22 shoot, any .22 semi-auto rifle will do. Yesterday we had: 4 10/22s in 4 different configuration, a Browning Buckmark Carbine, and a Remington 597.

I like the steel targets because you know you hit it, for someone who for so long only ever got to shoot paper the immediate feedback I believe helps me improve. I think the gun club did Bowling Pins sometime in the past beause when I first joined there was a pile of shot up ones by the Close-In pistol bays.

We are getting more stuff for our shoots in the way of barricades and the steel targets we use. Plus the gun club is getting us a storage containers so we don't have to move our stuff from one end of the range to the other at each match. Some of the items have been donated and some purchased by the club I think in time it will be even more fun than it is now. I certainly look forward to each months shoot, and maybe even improving.

I plink with Federal, but shoot matches with CCI mini-mags.

Well the close enough for government work did the trick, no problems at the .22 match today, the scope was fine. I hadn't really started looking at scopes, my attention and gun money have all been being set aside for the Spikes .223 upper. I made sure everything was locked down good on the current scope before I went out yesterday. Now I can keep a close eye on it, I can't swear it didn't get moved, so I'll give it another chance.

Glad you joined us, but I doubt we'll help with the addiction, but will possibly make it worse >:D

Cool more members, welcome!

I wanted to go to the range today to check on my scope sighting before tomorrows Tactical .22 match. The temp made it to the mid 40s, but I must have gotten to the range during the windiest part of the day. Our range sits atop a mesa/plateau to the west of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The Jemez mountains are just to the northwest of it and the wind coming across those snow covered mountains was frigid. I was bundled up pretty good, but only fired enough rounds to make it "Close Enough for Governement Work" before packing it end. Hopefully there won't be much wind tomorrow, plus the area we shoot at is down in one of the lower areas so we should have some protection. I don't know about anyone else I'm ready for spring. I've got to find a better made scope this one doesn't seem to hold its zero very well, that or it got moved.

It will be a great experience teaching her to shoot. There is so much fun stuff for the ruger, building it will be half the fun.

For the price it had better do most of the work ::)

Kevin is the one who runs our Tactical .22 Matches at the gun club him and I belong.

Glad you joined us. Are you going to start her with a bolt action or semi-auto .22?
