What's the average distance you find yourself shooting your 15-22 - are you geared more towards up close and tactical or are you pushing long range? Since I mainly shoot paper targets I find myself shooting at about 25yds, sometimes even closer. This is because any further out and I can barely tell where I am hitting the paper.
LoL - I'm not babying it that's for sure! I've made a few basic mods and put a couple thousand rounds through it so far. Now that I have 7 mags for it I am shooting it more. When I first got it, I only had the mag that it came with. I was spending more time loading it than shooting it. Now that is reversed with having so many mags. They are all 15rd'ers I wish they were 25rd'ers!
