Rimfire Scope Installed<\/i><\/p>\n
I got me a new scope. Ordered it off Ebay. It’s a 3-9x40mm Bushnell rimfire scope, for the Nylon 66 rifle. Some say the receiver on this rifle is too flexible to work well with a scope. Others say it will work fine. I’ll find out on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Seems like the .22 is the biggest bargain in shooting. It’s accurate at under a hundred yards. The ammunition is nearly free. The rifles are cheap. You can kill surprisingly large game with it. You barely need ear protection. And it’s easy to shoot.<\/p>\n
Milsurps can be very cheap and accurate and useful. But the ammunition costs money, and the optics are three times as expensive as rimfire optics. I know milsurps are useful for game a .22 can’t reliably kill, and I’m sure they’re better for self-defense. But on the whole, I give the nod to the .22. What do you think? Kim du Toit<\/a> described it as a tool everyone should have, if memory serves. Like a beer opener.<\/p>\n If I can’t get good accuracy with the Nylon 66 and a scope, I’m going to get a Savage. They’re very cheap, and they’re supposed to be like lasers. I can’t think of anything that would improve my rifle shooting as much as a gun that accurately shoots dirt-cheap ammunition, with no recoil.<\/p>\n I still have to fill out the forms for my C& R license. If you ever want to pee yourself with fear in the middle of the day, send a request to the DOJ, forget about it, and then reach into your mailbox and take out a thick DOJ envelope with your name on it. I started thinking about all the tax returns I’ve ever filed. I overpay, because I’m lazy. But you never know when you might misplace a decimal point.<\/p>\n I know the IRS does its own black ops. They don’t need the DOJ to send their horrifying emails. But I couldn’t think of anything else I might have done wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rimfire Scope Installed I got me a new scope. Ordered it off Ebay.
