Thank you for sharing this info! I'm not looking to get into precision
shooting. I actually don't do a lot of paper these days. My youngest son
has access to scrap steel - flat and angle pieces - that we hang in the
back yard and ring like gongs. :-) We shoot the .22's at them, but also
our pistols and PCC's and AR's. :-) We set one up att 145 yards and 
that's fun to 'ring.' :-)

Anyway - thanks again! Good read!!!

Oh - one more thing - never owned a 10/22, so I can't comment, but
I still have my first gun. My dad bought me a Browning SA-22 when
I was 7 years old - back in 74. Belgium made and still a great
shooter! Never mounted a scope, but that thing is an extension of
me, after all these years. :-)
