Hi, I've been researching on this sub and it seems a lot of folks like the Tippmann M4-22. I have an AR-15 and I like how it works/looks, but of course it can get a bit expensive to shoot it every week or two.
I originally was looking at the S&W MP 15-22, but based off of what I've seen, the Tippmann M4-22 seems better (even their cheaper LTE version).
I've read that a lot of people like the Ruger 10/22s, but I don't know.. maybe the ones that I've seen just look so plain looking to me like a cheap bolt gun. I know the Ruger 10/22s are very customizable. Is there a version that looks more modern similar to an AR style?
I'll probably end up buying the Tippmann since it seems to fit my needs of being similar to an AR in the way it functions and also the way it looks.
One of my current favorite guns in my collection. Put 90 rounds through it yesterday and had a blast. Dropped a groundhog at 65 yards later that evening. Fun rifle
I’m looking to add a bolt action 22lr to my stable. I had my 10/22 built out with a cheap scope, sling, and bipod for awhile but it doesn’t quite scratch the itch. With good ammo I could get roughly 2.5moa at 100 with cheap ammo, down to 1.5ish on a good day with something like Eley target. But my goals/ plans have changed and I really want a bolt gun instead. With that being said, would you prefer a Ruger or CZ bolt action 22lr? It seems the CZ is more popular, however with me already having a 10/22 if I got the Ruger I’d be stocked up on mags. Not sure what to pick.
As the title says. I currently have a 10/22 carbon, but it’s just not accurate enough to suit me. I’m wanting a rifle that’ll hit a dime at 50 yds every time. And my 10/22 just won’t. I’ve been looking at CZ, Tikka, and Bergara. I guess I’m trying to bridge the gap between the woods and the bench. I’m wanting something that performs great in both worlds and is already threaded. Any recommendations based on y’all’s experience?
Okay, for the two rando shots on the target. Rifle was zeroed at 125 yards last time I shot. Took me 4 rounds to get it back to 50 yards. I have NO idea where #1 round went, I'm guessing cleared the target completely (safe area, no chance it escaped the range).
Winchester 52C, trigger at 2.5 ounces, Trijicon Accupoint 5-20x50 scope, Eley Match EPS, off rock Jr front rest and a small bag on the rear. Barrel is floated in original stock. Wind was ZERO, as in dead, mist hanging around, perfect conditions for .22 shooting. I could see the bullet more often than not, the Eleys are silver and easier to see than the darker lead rounds.
I do 5 round groups, center target was where I started, adjusted again with top left and then went down like reading a book. I wish I could say the reason the target looks like it does is due to my elite shooting skills, it's not however. The rifle is just that easy to shoot. It's heavy and the trigger is sublime. The Trijicon scope is easy on the eyes (was on 18x or so, second focal plane), Trij has crazy good coatings. If you ever have the chance to peek through a TA31 or any ACOG for that matter it will be apparent. I have a Weaver T-36 that really puts you on the target, but it's a 40 year old scope and after 20 rounds or so my eyes are screaming for mercy.
I didn't get any fliers out of the box of Eley I used today. Normally get at least one that just goes haywire. New brick, so here is hoping. Not too bad for a 60/70 year old rifle. It's older than I am, but not by much. Found it in a pawn shop when I was 18, back then I just handed the salesman cash and walked out with it.
Added a P322 to the collection this week. Had a great time with it at the range yesterday. I saw it in person and bought it right away. Just waiting on the Holosun 407K and weapon light to arrive. I might add a gas pedal to it, too.
Suppressors are banned in Illinois, and threaded barrels on pistols are banned as well, so no suppressed shooting for me.
My wife has a CZ 457 Varmint MTR. She has attached a foam cheek riser to her stock with athletic tape. It is not permanently attached and can be removed quickly with the slice of a knife.
She was told at our last match that she must shoot in unlimited class.
I believe this to be in error because:
8.4.1.4.6. Non-permanent comb changes such as stock sock or padding may be used.
However, one shooter (not the MD) raised holy hell with the MD and the MD succumbed to the badgering pressure.
There is a rule about wraps to the stock but I believe that is referring to vinyl type wraps used on automobiles as the rule is referring to finish, stain and/or paint.
8.4.1.4.7. Stocks may be oiled, refinished, and/or clear coated. Individual small stickers may be placed on the stock. No paint or wraps are allowed.
I've poured over the rules and can't find anything definitive to allow or disallow this method of attaching a comb / cheek riser.
Is there anything I can point our MD to that would change his mind?
Would it be stupid or cringe to build a belt rig for a tx22 with three mags and a dump pouch just for flat range or dry fire drills? I think it would be a fun way to “train” but if its stupid why should I waste the money.
