Took 3 to walk it in, and then 3 once it was set up. I have never shot a .22 this accurate. For the 150.00 I gave for it, it is amazing.

It is not quite as good as the 340, but still very impressive. The 3 shots are just 7/8" center to center. Not saying i can do that all the time, as my eyes get tired quickly. Still, I think that is what the rifle CAN do, if I do my part. This peep sighted .22 thing is kind of a hobby....Just installed a Lyman 55 on my woman's Remington 514. Dang woman nearly outshot me!

Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight. Build a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life. www.wvcdl.org
