1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

Done. I've been moving them as I come across them.
"Deadly accurate?" Custom trigger pull must have done it. I've had five 10-22s over the years, and while they were fun plinkers, they were certainly not deadly accurate. Rough trigger pulls, lot of creep, even on the "deluxe" version (beautiful wood).Originally Posted by klkak
I had a 10/22 for many years. It was a great gun and was deadly accurate. I had put a custom trigger group in it. Then I shot a friends BL-22. It was love at first shot.

Several years ago I became the happy owner of a Browning BL-22.

I don't know that I would have used lol after that statement, buy might I suggest a gun/hunter safety course.And i dont own a 22 rifle ive been looking into some of the light weight 22 survival rifles but i do have a 22 revolver witch last time i shot it, it rickashade right into my leg lol
I asure you i did nothing unsafe it was pretty much a freak accident the only thing i can figure is the bullets where old and i got hit by 2 different pieces of lead so im thinking the years did somthing to the lead.
If you pulled the trigger and ended up with a bullet or bullet fragment in your leg - all the assuring in the world will not convince me that you did nothing unsafe. I understand that accidents happen. What were you shooting at? What distance was the target? In your sight picture what was behind the target?
i would say 25-30 yards away i was shoting a metal target hit it dead on and there was a mountain behind it.
Well there ya go. Shooting a metal target at 25 yards with a projectile traveling around 1000 fps - ricochet should be expected.
lol whatever you say guess you cant belive the disclaimer on the target saying 25 yards is a safe shooting distance
Just giving you a hard time. But let me ask about the target. Was it the knock down style and was it intended for use with a 22?
yep knock down style intended for a 22
Just seems kind of close for a metal target. If your aim is off and you hit the frame, you will get ricochet every time. Oh well, glad you're OK.
Growing up, my dad had a Glenfield .22, 15-shot, tube-fed. It is a great gun, but it's his.
When I got my first .22, I got a Ruger 10/22. I polished the trigger and action, installed a bolt buffer, got rid of the barrel band (this one shoots better without it), floated the barrel, put on a bipod and got a BIG scope.
I can sit at the range at the 200-yard line and bust 4" clays all day long. I LOVE to see people's faces when I pull up, head out to the 200-yard line, open up the case and pull out a .22. Most can't believe that I can hit anything from that distance. I've made enough money at times to pay for the gun club membership. It shoots good at everything up to about 200 yards, but not much farther than that. Of course, you have to adjust the scope for the range and windage.
It works great and has never let me down and I put all kinds of cheap ammo through it. Got to use the factory mags or get the ones with the steel feed lips though.
If you had a junk revolver it's "possible" a sloppy fit and lineup of the cylinder and barrel would shave a little lead from the slug, otherwise a ricochet or a target that shoots back got you and if you hit the target it should have flattened the lead. Shaved lead wouldn't do much to a leg in that case. Cock the revolver(check first for empty) and wiggle the cylinder and check for any play.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
to fight... he'll just kill you.
If I shot myself I think the biggest problem I'd have is trying to figure out if I should throw the target away or the revolver. Either way, one of 'em is history.

You simply can't go wrong with a Ruger 10-22 or for that matter a Ruger MKIII Hunter or a Super Single Six. I would certainly bet my life on any of these.
I know what hunts you.
marlin 522n microgroved bolt action. .25-.50inch groups at 50yds in a bench vice with a bunch of different brands of ammo. i'm not that great of a shot and it's kind of hard to go to the range now to get more practice. my daughter loves it though.
Remington model 66 Nylon, wish I still had it.
