.22s are great fun

[Executive]

OK here it is. My Ruger 77/22 in .22 LR with a nice Leupold. Nothing too fancy but it is scary accurate. I am having a fun shooting it, and teaching my 11 year old son. It does not get any better than this for me.

We, have one of those at the shop. I can't walk by it without touching it.

Do they make a "youth" model 77/22, something lighter than the typical 10/22? My daughter finds the 10/22 too large and heavy to handle properly.

I'm pretty sure that this year, Ruger came out with a shorter 10/22, I think that they call it the 10/22 carbine. But I'm not sure that the length of pull has changed.

That I would have to look up.

Sorry, it's the 10/22 Compact. I guess that it has a 12 3/4" length-of-pull, where the standard had a 13 3/4" length of pull.

Don't know how much an inch will do for you kid, but it might be somewhat better.

That's a gorgeous stock! You can't go wrong with the Leupold, either. Awesome gun!

How much do you have into that beast?

Since you guys liked the rifle, here's a shot of his little brother. Again, nothing fancy, but very accurate and lots of fun. Its my Ruger Mark III with Leupold Red Dot.

LOL... that just doesn't sound right.

Chris those are gawjus!

I'm a Ruger lover too. I've got the same Mark III, bull barrel, stainless etc. Just no scope. It's probably the gun I shoot the most. Don't have the same rifle though. I just have a 10/22 in polymer and stainless,but I love the hell out of it. I haven't gotten into using scopes though. I just shoot my rifle at 35 feet using the sights. I'll have to post some pics some day.

Thanks for the compliments on my humble .22s. Some of the high-end .22 shooters at my club look down on my Rugers, but I think for the money you can not buy a better .22 pistol or rifle. Not that they were cheap, with probably just over $1200 invested in both, which is a lot of money to me, but I think they are a great value. I'm saving money now shooting dirt cheap .22 instead of the more expensive center-fire stuff. I think they're purdy too. My 11 year old son thinks the rifle is the greatest thing going and the pistol looks like Han Solo's from Star Wars. He can shoot each fairly well and we are enjoying some great father-son time. To me, thats what its all about.
