Having a Ball..
Over the last 8mos I have picked up a couple of .22 Rugers and I am having a ball shooting the little pistols. I was just wondering if anybody else has done like me and kind of forgot what fun it is to shoot .22's.
I have started to shoot steel with my 22/45 and that is a lot of fun. Just went last Saturday and shot pins with my MK-III and 1911. I had a lot of fun with both of them. Now I am going to get my 1977 Standard out and shoot steel with it. That one has laid in the safe for 25yrs and not been used. You can bet that will not happen again.

I remembered real well from from my "past" shooting days. When I got back into shooting because of the Election hoopla, I skipped centerfires completely. All my old favorites were ,22 Rugers, and I re-bought them as close as I could buying new.
I occasionally miss the bigger bangs and heavier recoil, but .22 does all I need. I'd rather have all rimfire than all centerfire.

Looks like they use a lot of the same polymer parts, especially the magazine it is huge for a .22LR but would be about right size for a 5.56 cartridge. My shooting bud has a M&P 15 in the 5.56/.223 version, we will have to compare mag. The lowers may be the same casting.bgreenea3 wrote:you got the "black 22"??? they look to be nicely put together and any AR part will fit to it just about.......

It was pretty cold yesterday but had some errands to do and the club was on the route. Shot one mag full and the gun does work, had a reflex sight on but can not bore sight it, but at 7 yards it was in the ball park. Trigger is heavy, one guy on 15-22 forum recommended a JP reduced spring kit, it will be here Monday. Mounted my Bushnell 4X later in the evening and even with extra high ring I have to cheek it until it hurts, looks like I need to get a riser, as I see a lot of them used.
