Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire .22 LR Shooting

Only have 5 .22 RF guns. Working tools all and they all shoot quite well. Haven't been shooting them much of late, but they are ready when I am. Time for some pork ribs, see ya!

Anyone shoot the CCI Quiet for Semi Autos lately? A 45gr bullet at 835fps (factory rating) is plenty for the squirrels and coons I hunt. They're exceedingly accurate from my Beyer barreled Ruger 10/22 with a Silencerco Sparrow can.

I have three .22 RF's, rifles include a Springfield 1922 M2 that has been sporterized and an Anschutz M/64 Stutzen mannlicher stocked with DST. Handgun is a Sig Sauer P226 with .22 conversion, all are fun to shoot and very accurate. One of them makes the trip to the range every time I go. CCI Std. Velocity is my ammo of choice.

Not to redirect the thread but I have always loved 22 rimfires and if I could only own one firearm it would be a 22 rifle. I have owned everything from the low dollar beginner rifles through Anschutz, Cooper, 40X, Win 52 etc.
If I could own only one though it would be very difficult to choice. I suppose that it would be sporter of some sort, not a specialized target model though since there are many sporter models whose accuracy is good enough for satisfying paper punching and portable enough for hunting.

Hammerli Xesse and an Anschutz 1710 would be nice.

I first learned to shoot pinging frogs with an old daisy bb gun - I imagine it was similar to shooting an old flintlocke that didn't have rifling in the barrel. You could see the bb coming out of the barrel spiraling out of control

but I really became a precise shooter - at least by every day standards when my grandfather would give me half a box of shorts and a .22 Winchester single shot. He would tell me I had to make it last all weekend. My proudest moment I think was shooting a small water snake with iron sights at about 20 yards. Again, not a big accomplishment by any real shooters standards but to a 12 year old boy that was big deal.

I have fond memories of that gun. I bought one just like as an adult just to have it around to look it and remind me of those Saturdays spent on his little plot of land bordering the creek.

Any interest the grand kids showed in hunting or gun use, he fully supported.

I've put a few bricks through this one...
