As I shot it tonight, I thought to myself, "no one in their right mind would let this rifle go". I bet you, some poor old guy passed away and his kids or grandkids sold this beautiful rifle to the LGS, because, "no one in the family shoots guns". What a sad realization of the direction this world is going.
I tried several different types of ammo in it and it seemed to love them all, even though the wind was blowing hard enough to blow my target stand over 2 times. My hands were going numb, because of the cold, but i kept shooting until I could no longer see the target. My last 10 shots were fired at the target, for schidts and giggles, on the 100 yard line. Also, as I shot, I started to think, "this rifle is going to turn me into a right handed shooter". As I only shoot irons right handed.....In all, I left the range with a feeling of complete satisfaction. I don't think I've ever shot a 22 rifle of this caliber (quality, not referring to internal diameter of the bore) in my life. The wait was well worth it and Im glad I finally found this one...
