is $199 a good price for a no barrel band carbine with a wood stock? looks like an older one with metal trigger guard...

Stop on over Greener and we will get the job done somehow, I do have experience.

A good price new and it might not be a bad price used. Green Top is showing used 10/22's for $270. Don't know if that's a bull barrel or with scope or...

He'd mount the Hubble on it, if he could get the right mounts.

Little Greener, that gun off a home made rest has shot 5 shot groups under 1/8, but that was a few years back at the old 25 yard indoor range.

As far as 10/22's around here, new carbines go for $229.95 af my LGS will most likely deal that don to $200.00 and sales tax. Used ones are rarely seen and if you have to give $175.00 or so for them, in my opinion, you might as well add the few extra$$$$ and by a new one.

No wonder that you thought Greener's new toy needed more scope.... :yakillme:

Been there and fired his fine 10/22's. I thought adding a motorized mount like a Celestron would help. You can certainly watch the bullet hole being made in the paper and BAOM's targets look pretty darn good.

A new 10/22 for under $230 would be great around here.

Spent the afternoon enjoying the 70 F weather at the range. Managed to shoot a couple hundred rounds from the 2 10/22's. The one with the Green Mountain barrel had a new Nikon Prostaff scope and high rise scope mount. I hadn't fired the "build."

The Tundra stock is a comfortable, good shooting stock. I probably need to get something better than the Caldwell bags for holding tight groups or I need much more practice.

I wasn't happy with the results from either rifle at 50 yards with CCI Blazer. CCI SV did ok and Federal 510 did 10 touching rounds with the Green Mountain barrel. When I switched to Wolf MT I got

The 5-rounds with CCI subsonic did pretty well.

Greener, my LGS, just recently ordered and got CCI subs back in stock after a long drought. I think CCI just runs some production on that line and switches back over to the more popular stuff. Shot some last fall and it is almost as good as the MT but not quite. The Wolf MT is more accurate but not proportionally to the cost. For the % of increase in price it is not the same % more accurate than the cost. Seems to me like the ammo with the 1050fps velocity is the most accurate CCI SV is just slightly faster but i shoot pretty well also.

The target does not look too bad. Like you I would have expected better results from the MT. How may rounds did you put down the pipe before shooting the target? How was the wind where you were shooting?

Look at the bright side if it likes 510's that's probably about the cheapest ammo you can buy....

In my experience when changing ammo, 5 rounds is enough to stabilize the barrel and find the POI and then a few clicks here and there and then a couple more to check POI again. I usually do all my shooting at 25 yards and once in awhile we will do 50. As far as the Greener, the scope, gunstock, barrel, trigger and ammo are most likely all right, now the shooter?????
