I’m going to hold onto mine. This guy puts them to good use. What kind of scope is that? That is a Millet red dot Ben. Boy was having trouble deciding which eye to use and couldn’t really make the peep sight work. A member here made us a deal we couldn’t refuse on the dot sight to try out. Instant success, took him one trip to the farm to figure out that you paste the dot on the target and squeeze. He loves shooting steel plates and does pretty good out to 35-40 yards as long as he has a rest. We’re working on his first squirrel, no idea why but he’s become obsessed with wanting to squirrel hunt. We have plenty of tree rats so I’m happy to oblige. Saw 6 in an hour of sitting on Saturday but he couldn’t quite close the deal, we’ll be out for another attempt soon. Thanks, sounds like he's been putting it to use. I bought my son a rascal for christmas. Hes been shooting pretty good with the factory sights, but was thinking about getting some sort of optic for it. Didnt really know what would work the best

I’ve never had a 17 anything, but there’s been a damned large pile of 22 shells spent around here.

Nephew got the rim fire bug a couple years ago , went from a mossberg to 452 super , then a model 12 , then a 37 , then a Suhl and nice 541T Lol , gave him several hundred rounds of red and black box Eley . Some dated back to 2006 , some good lots in there . I think he was shooting IR 50/50 targets and got some 248’s and 249’s with no wind flags . Off season I practice 100 yds off hand , sitting , and prone to keep sharp for field shooting . As I get older I need the practice that’s for sure . Kenneth

I have one single shot .22 RF. Shoot it now and then, but don’t have much ammo. Sold everything else a few weeks back. Not terribly accurate, but if I get within 20’ it’s great for squill. You strike me as a guy that's low on guns and ammo. LOL I like swords and spears. The .22 short you've posted about in the SS forum isn't terribly accurate, eh? Sold it. I hunt pigs with a gaff these days. It’s a lot more exciting.
I am..........disturbed.

What does a 22LR that a 17hmr doesn't do better? Cost per shot? Suppressed sub sonic is a special kind of kewl. Indeed! Nice toy JM! I would love to find one of the internally suppressed ones. That was the mark II? Issued to seals only?

The 22 long rifle round is the cheapest round that will do the/most jobs.

Especially when you reload them. Less than .04/round.

Didnt really know what would work the best PM me, I'll send you the same Millet red dot for your son's rifle. 😉 Edit: it looks the same at least, and it's used but works. My son needed something on a riser now, so its sitting on the shelf.

I use a 22lr quite often. But damn I like a 22 mag
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Don't own anything other than a 22. That other stuff isn't needed and is more expensive.
22 LR is CHEAP to shoot.

Absolutely I still shoot the LR.
Have all kinds of guns, have had some exotics. The 22 LR is as enjoyable to me as any. Bolts, semi-auto rifles or pistols, single action revolvers, double action.
I have 27,000 rounds on the shelf & I've fugged up. That number should be double. Then I could shoot some every day & maybe, just maybe not worry about running out for a while.
