I will make the first post here seeing rifles are my fav-o-rite Smile

As many of you know SURPLUS AMMO prices have gone out of sight. I started my battle against ammo prices with the ruger 10/22 using Tech Sights to simulate a US battle rifle.

This works very well for a 25 yard trainer.

As always YOU WANT MORE....

Well I picked up this little gem the other day a Winchester model 52 pre "A" dated 1929 Mr. Green

Well I had to take it to the range and just see what this girl would do.

I started out a 25 yards trying to get use to the sight pic and trying to find the nitch.

after that I moved to 50 yards

Then 100

Then 150

I had some trouble as you can tell with the groups at 100 and 150 I just could not find a good hold on the target. I am going to blame it on the SUN Rolling Eyes

THEN I WENT TO 200

10 Rounds of 22lr on a 8 inch "shootnc" target that is standing at 200 yards...(THAT IS 4 MOA BY THE WAY:wink: ) and landed 4 in the target and 3 more outside. With the other 3 going who knows where.

It was about 37 degrees F and no wind, ammo was Federal 550 count brick from wally world. I am going again to the range and try it again. This time with some Winchester "x-pert" 22lr. The federal is a High velocity round while the x-pert is a Standard velocity round. I am thinking it may make a difference in a rifle this old....WE SHALL SEE. Mr. Green

made it back to the range to try some REMINGTON TARGET 40gr. Round Nose ammo.

The weather was not all that great for shooting for groups but it was what I was dealt. Temp was mid 40s, Thunder storms lumming and wind gust up to 30 mph Shocked

STILL I was iching to go to the range. Laughing

I set up a 100 yard target...I fired 10 rounds but 9 is in the target Embarassed

I then went to 200 after alittle windage adjustment Wink

I did not want to mess up my group or I would have shot more out at 200 Embarassed

I think the Rem Target ammo is what I am going to settle with. I have tried different ones and this one seems to do the best...
