I like shooting that. It's accurate and most times you can see the grey base of the projectile as it flies down range.

How is this group?
Grey, red and black variant squirrels. The red one with black lower parts is very rare here. Only seen 4 in 55 years of looking. View attachment 7962736
Grey squirrel season here in Florida opens October 8th.
Hope to be able to get out there, but Hurricane Ian might force a postponement.
Could be I'll be pulling chainsaw duty instead. So much fun.
Yeah, way too busy. You need yourself one of them straight grained purty stocks. You send that abomination to me and I’ll get you a plain one that is much better. You’re welcome.That's an ugly stock. You should use it for firewood.
What's a pound of Tree Rats going for these days? Sorry to hear about the food shortage in Florida .We have something called Pork Chops here in Alabama.
Yeah, I hear that you shoot them out of trees up there too. Right after you visit your local meth distillery.
Was at the range today, and a nice older guy was shooting his custom CZ with a Lilja barrel, and we got to talking about rimfires, and he was trying a bunch of high-end ammo in his to see what it liked. He asked which one my Ranger 22 preferred, and I said, honestly never tried anything higher priced than CCI SV in it, as it shoots good enough to have fun with at 200. He slid me a whole box (50) of SK Match (red & black box) over, and said, mine won’t shoot these, give ‘em a try. So after about 15-20 rounds my barrel settled in with the SK, and I put down this 5-shot group. If the 5th one hadn’t gone wide, it would have been much more impressive. But I’m learning that .22 LR having fliers and dropouts is unpredictable, at best…Even with the high-end ammo.
View attachment 7997054I Wouldn't be too quick to form opinions on 22lr accuracy based on groups shot with a Ranger and SK match ammo or a custom CZ for that matter. While SK match is good ammo it is not considered High end! The 22lr can be extremely accurate at 50 yds but at a cost. It's all about how serious you are about accuracy. 5K for a custom build, 1k for a custom rest and $15 to $ 24 a box to lot test ammo. Then you'll see those flyers and dropouts " as you call them" go away!
You don't have to tell me about how much fun shooting a .22LR is... I've been doing so since I was like 5 when dad would hold the gun on the bench, and let me aim and pull the trigger... One of my favorite guns is my Ranger 22 w/ my Dead Air Mask HD on it. My point was, the dude talking shit about my opinion, was only shooting groups at 50 yards... Give me a fucking break. Anyone can shoot a group at 50 yards. And I'd certainly hope just about any modern .22LR rifle on the market can shoot a decent group at 50 yards with decent ammo, and a half-competent shooter behind it.
I'm not trying to shoot BR comps, and this isn't a competition rifle... I'm just having fun.
I made a 5-shot group post that was on-track... Bitch at the others who were bitching about my post, and derailed it.
