You Can't Hit Anything with a 10/22

[greener]

A word to the wise. If you take SWMBO shooting, don't brag about how accurate the 10/22 is when the scope is off 6" left and 6" low. You will hear about it. Also bring the allen wrench to adjust the but plate. And allen wrenches to adjust the scope position. Once I got the minor issues fixed, she spent about an hour making all the holes touch at 25 yards and shooting at the sub 1" shoot'n see stickies. I'm not sure all my sins were forgiven.

If I thought she would go shooting more often, I'd put one together for her.

You got to have more than one, my inventory at present is a number that Ma don't need to know. Remington 597 will shoot and so will MarkIIG Savage. They may need a little tweaking but ion the end the results are great.

You were in trouble from the get go when you did the up front brag! I'll never forget(actually I had until your post) I had this 250 Yamaha dirt bike that ALWAYS started on the first kick. I even put that claim in my For Sale Ad Very first prospective buyer shows up and after many unsuccessful kicks, and many embarrassing frustrating minutes I looked down to see that I had forgotten to turn the gas lever Now you have an excellent reason to buy her one for Christmas!

I spent some of yesterday with my 10/22 DSP, shooting the rubber prairie dog's head at 50 yards. He has a big hole in his head now, two more rounds and his face will fall off. Not too bad for an all factory gun, with a 3-7 X 20 Tasco rimfire scope.

Being an OLD dirt bike rider and a Yamaha mechanic now 15 years retired, I know where you are coming from. Oldest son and I rode dirt bikes every weekend until he went off to college in fall of 1976. We had a much altered 1971 Yamaha 125MX, both engine and chassis mods and I rode a slightly engine altered 1971 Penton, the last of the steel tank Penton's. We had a lot of fun and lived through it, with the usual scrapes and bruises, but no broken bones.
