Santa never brings me anything so I occasionally buy my self toys.
This is my first money saving investment of the year. A Heritage Rough Rider in .22.
This was its first group this morning threw the second shot, but wasn't bad considering gail force winds in 11* weather. Needles to say I shot pretty quickly.
Since then I have duck taped a couple of big ol Lou phone books together and have really tightened things up practicing in the basment. If I were to clean the basement up a bit I would possibly show a picture of my range.
Now don't freak out. I got some specialty ammo to allow for such things.
Bought a brick of Aguila Colibri
Quote: This is a cartridge that contains no gunpowder. the little 20g. bullet is solely propelled by the powerful Eley priming mix. For this reason, it does not generate any significant pressure. Due to the lack of noise when fired, the .22 Colibri may be shot indoors, even in the living room, provided a proper back stop is available. The .22 Colibri may be used to eliminate pests such as rats. It may be fired in any .22 LR rifle or pistol, however, it will not cycle the slide of semi-automatic guns. Has a Solid Point Made of Lead Weight 20 grains <~~from natches
I'll confirm it shoots really nice and quiet into a phone book on a cold day/night. While breaking in a new .22. Groups just keep getting tighter also.
I also have found a great deal on a Henry .22 So soon I will have a complete set single action and lever gun. lol
