I have various boxes and pals (5000 rounds) collected over time. I picked up some Tac 22, Noma and some other target ammo which I used gunbot.net to locate.
I've signed up for email alerts on other sites (like Midway, etc) and my family members always looks out for me too.

I just picked her up and haven't made it to the range yet, but I have high hopes.
Thanks

Very cool, 22's are a blast, really. I grew up shooting my 22 every chance I got. Just seeing one I can smell the powder from them. Better than fresh baked apple pie.

Made my first trip to the range this morning and had the following struggles:
1. My bench was facing east and the sun was rising(7:30am).
2. Windy conditions (15MPH with gust up to 20MPH).
3. The LOP is 14.25" and I need 12.5" so I was struggling with consistent eye relief (easy fix).
4. The trigger pull is 2.5lbs but felt gritty and heavier (hope it smoothes out with some use or a trigger job will be needed).
I did manage several groups under 3/4" using 36 grain copper plated white box Winchester bulk ammo at 50yds. With tuning and the right ammo, I believe this rifle may be a tack driver, but only time and use will tell.
Here is a 5 shot group (measured .513" outside to outside) :

After trying various types of ammo from Match, standard and high velocities. Norma Match 22 performed the worst with average groups of 1.34" -1.50". CCI standard velocity and Tac-22 performed the best. Both (if I do my part) are capable of consistant (repeatable) tack driving accuracy. Down below are the average 10 shots groups:
That's some good shooting.
