Got out to the range this morning. Among other things, finally got some
to sight in my 15/22. After fine-tuning of the cheap, chinese red dot, I
put 20 rounds of Gem-Tech 22LR subsonics in a one inch target dot at 30
yards without really trying. The first ten were slow, but the last ten
were rapid fire, shots about one second apart. No bipod or bench rest,
just elbows on the table. I really like this rifle, sweet shooting and
has a good stock trigger. The stamp for the can should be here any day.
Squirrels beware!

Red dots are not a scope. They are for fast acquisition of target. I have
an M&P in 5.62 shoots well. Thinking of mounting the Leopold scope on my
.06 on it.


Oh, I was wondering who was shooting squirrels. Figures.

At the moment, I have a Vortex SPARC II red dot on my Colt AR15. But
sometimes I shoot with just the iron sights. I put a 1x4 Vortex scope on
my Henry .357, and it incorporates a lighted dot you can switch on or off.

I have a bunch of it, but I "discovered" there really is no need to pay
extra to get so-called "suppressor" ammo for a silenced .22LR firearm.
The CCI Standard Velocity is subsonic and sounds the same out of a
suppressed firearm as the more expensive and usually harder to find
"suppressor" ammo. Eight or nine cents a round typically will get the
CCI stuff, and it is pretty available these days.
