went with buddy to the range for "rimfire rifle" day.......
what a joy the 10/22 is in ANY of the incarnations
Circa 1995 a LGS owner was retiring and gave a great deal on a hammer-barrel target T22. He also led me to a -then horribly expensive- target Tasco 6-24x44AO that doubled the price of the purchase. Have experimented with various scopes in recent years, but this old heavyweight fit perfectly and required only minor adjustments to get 50 yard 10 shot 1-hole targets back on line.
Buddy's econobox loss leader 10/22 from a few years back, with a 3-9 cheapie scope, managed a 50 yard hit on the foam ear plug held up by a tooth pick. I had installed a couple eye-holes in it that resembled 'Casper the ghost' only in orange. His shot broke the tooth pick off. Casper took a tumble.
TD 10/22 with Nikon 3x32 is no slouch either. We had no trouble trading a couple handfuls of 22LR for various pleasing groups in the targets.
Sorry I can't post photos, I've fired all the image host sites.
