Range Report: pistol plinking

Post by Sir Henry » Sun Sep 25, 2022 10:44 am

This is the life! Being able to shoot at a moment’s notice is the center of my life. This might not be the most spectacular report yet it’s what I do almost everyday. Mayer of fact sometimes I’ll plink all day especially now that I’ve accomplished all my summer projects.

This time it’s a Ruger SR22. This is a fun little shooter even though I didn’t hit the spinner once. Shooting at 25 yards is beyond its accuracy.

Yep, 25 yards is asking a lot of that little guy. Always like the lines of the SR22.

I moved to the south range where I can shoot from 5 to 15 yards. I had far better luck. Yellow is pellets and orange is rimfire.

I need to remove the two trees and flower bed. I’ll finish the berm next summer.

It's very nice to just go outside and shoot. Beautiful flowers.

Yes it is Gene, I love being able to just walk out the back door and plink away.
The joys of country living.

Excellent way to spend a day! Looks really cool the way you have it all laid out Gene. Do you have a .22 SA revolver?

Yes I have an Uberti Cattlemen and a Ruger Single-Ten. Plus an H&R DA.

The Uberti and Ruger should do anything you need to do as far as a single action 22LR.

Glad you are enjoying your new home. I have a sr22 pistol and have considered selling it or trading it a few times. But every time I take it to the range it makes me smile at how well it shoots at plinking range of 7 to 15 yards.
Load on Sunday and Shoot all Week.......okay it's a Mare's Leg I will reload on Wednesday. ;)

The Uberti is far superior to the Ruger in every respect. I can’t remember the last time I shot the Single-Ten. I shoot the SR22 far more often to the SA.

I have a Walther P22 and it’s very similar to the SR22
