    Poll (this time with an actual poll). Dedicated Airgun Forum (yes or no)

    I voted yes. Airguns have come a long way in the past years and if they help folks with their shooting mechanics (and I do know that some folks even hunt with them), I see no reason not to have a section for this topic. Just my two cents worth.

    Beer + Bullet = ?

    Yes sir, nice shooting!

    trading for a Marlin 795

    The 795 is a good rifle. I can't think of any issues I've had with mine.

    Your Thoughts On CCI Standard Velocity .22lr

    Question; Has anyone used a Rimfire Thickness Guage to sort these CCI SV's before doing any testing at the Range with them? I understand that one of these guages is a useful tool.

    Lets see those tactical 22s!

    Defcon, I support your right to build and shoot what you like under our 2nd Ammendment. I can't say that I cared for that comment above. Being a veteran who served back in the early to mid 70's, I was never trained to, nor would I ever, kill babies.

    Big and long or Small and short targets... .22 steel targets

    300-400 yards. I have a 17" x 1/4" round gong for that purpose when I get around to doing it. Now at 200 yards I shoot 6, 5, & 4 inch round gongs, but that's just because I find them manageable with the subsonic rounds and I'm use to reading the wind at 200 yards. That's not to say the wind...

    Your Thoughts On CCI Standard Velocity .22lr

    The one's I traded for came in 50 round boxes, #0035... The stated FPS is 1070... They are 40 grain lead round nose... Is the 0032's the 100 count box?

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    I have cheap air rifles (.177) pump rifles that I sometimes shoot from 25 yards - in my yard - from the prone position. It's enjoyable but all in all my main interest lay with traditional muzzle loading and archery, and the history of these two sports I've been involved with (shooting...

    Your Thoughts On CCI Standard Velocity .22lr

    I was going to test the CCI at 100 yards yesterday, but the gusting 10 to 17 mph cross-wind yesterday just didn't appeal to me. Aside from the wind, it was a nice day

    I'm so ashamed

    If I understand the latest new I read this morning about the latest gun control proposals, they seem to be running out of steam which should mean an early end to this lack of ammo to be found. How prices will be effected is anyone's guess, but remember - if the manufactures have been working...

    Yes sir.......

    Really?

    LOL!!! However, I do wonder what the reasoning is behind all the lighting? Aside from trying to own the "lighted" darkness - I wonder if this person shoots in a night league and is trying to get lit up better?

    Your Thoughts On CCI Standard Velocity .22lr

    It should be ok for 200 yard shooting since its fps are under the speed of sound (1070 fps listed) where as where I live the average speed of sound is 1117 fps. I've always had better results at 200 yards with the slower stuff, and the higher velocity (such as the Federal 510B - 1240 fps) just...

    3 boxes at Wally World today

    Agreed. Someone has to pay for the over head and over time of manufactures working their employees around the clock to catch up with supply in demand.

    Your Thoughts On CCI Standard Velocity .22lr

    Thanks guys. Sounds like the CCI Standard is to CCI - what Eley Sport is to Eley. First chance I get I'll get out and try the CCI Standard. I don't think I'm any worse off trading away the 7 boxes of Federal 510B for this CCI ammo. Thanks again for your input.

    Your Thoughts On CCI Standard Velocity .22lr

    Made an ammo trade with a friend of mine today. He had 7 boxes of CCI Standard Velocity .22lr (1070 fps) 40gr LRN, and wanted something with a bit more poop (so to speak) so I offered him 7 boxes of Federal 510B .22lr (1240 fps) 40gr LRN, for his CCI ammo. He was happy to make the trade. He...

    100 yards, Watch the bullet

    Just gotta love this stuff! Cool!!!

    100 yards, Watch the bullet

    Always fun to watch stuff like this, even more fun to watch it through your own scope. Great stuff!

    Savage MKIIFVT, target one with peep sights thoughts?

    I have one I've had for several years. Agree that the stock could be better. Agree that the sights the rifle comes with aren't bad at all. Not the highest dollar sights, but they are good.
