Right on! How far away can you hit a beer can with the open sights? (I have forgot rifles outside the front door but never more than 3-4 hours at a time....)

Ain't gone past 40 yards on cans, since that's how far the wood line is from the porch.

I had a BL22 that had a trigger so bad a friend of mine was going to shoot it one day, stopped half way through the trigger pull and asked me where the safety was at! It went down the road and I've never seen any reason to gamble on another one. Picked mine up after work yesterday and, uh yeah, the trigger.... Damn, too bad given it's such a light little gun.

The trigger ain't horrible on mine. Sure it's not a Shilen on my 700, but it ain't bad.

I don't have a pull weight gauge but it's gotta be 6-8lbs.

The trigger on ours isn't bad at all.

Put about 50 round through it earlier today. Offhand and off the hood, you don't really notice the trigger when shooting.
Fun little fuucker for sure.
(just got back from the co-op, Mini-Mags galore, scored 800 before I felt guilty...)

Now I'm gonna have to find out what a Fastfire is....
The elevation was factory set at the lowest point and high velocity 37 grain were hitting an inch or two low at 30 yards.
Skosh to the right as well with the Winchester hp's.
Moved it up 3 bars and now pretty close.
I'd forgot how much fun 22's are to shoot. (10" plate hanging a branch, shooting at corners)
And you can rip through 15 rounds pretty damn quick with that little short throw lever!

Do you Fast Fire the bunnies on the run? Curious. Never ran one, just a short stent with a Williams FP on a 357 Marlin.
