Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires 10/22 is a good day every year...

My old buddy, 10/22 standard carbine. Bought it at age 16 in 1968 with proceeds from being a bag boy at Publix supermarket. Have mounted scopes on it in the past but for now it's wearing the original Williams Foolproof peep sight I had installed back in '68. Lots of "character" in that walnut stock and metal work, including the metal buttplate but it will still put rounds into nice little clusters at 50 yards.

Have taken boat loads of small game, pine cones, rocks, dirt clods, aerial targets, tweety birds of indeterminate species and generally pretty much whatever was legal or semi-legal to shoot over the last 52 years. Once even used it to butt smash a charging Utah ground squirrel.
