I got my 6MM Ruger, and Santa said he'd make sure to send my New Browning 22Target Pistol to the Dealer,as soon as he delivered presents to our Muslim brothers,and all the Illegal aliens, and inner city scum in Minneapolis he hopes I understand that he had to do it because he dosen't want to be tagged with being a Racist
Well Santa was able to Deliver my present but his Sleigh was full of bullet holes and had a few Spears sticking out of it. A real nice browning Buckmark 22ls target pistol with a 7.25 inch Barrel IMG_1341.jpg

Man that is really slick
I appreciate you saying that Brother but it's just a toy compared to the stuff you own. I am happy with it though, just to keep the woodchucks out of our garden it's a huge upgrade over the other 2 pellet guns I have, one of which is in pieces, I don't know how to repair/get it back together. The other is a original Crosman when they were made in Bloomfield, NY. That one is still serviceable but it's very tired

I will add that this Ruger Elite does not have some of the issues mentioned in older reviews. They used Loctite in places it was needed and the scope is very adjustable. I have this down to dime sized groups at 50ft and quarter sized at almost 150ft. Not bad for only maybe 40 pellets through it, they say it needs at least 250 shot to get it to break in and get more accurate. I am looking at some of the Gamo offerings for pellets to increase accuracy. I want to get it out to 75yrds reliably

I get off shooting a 22 as much as my heavy stuff, I can shoot 100s of rds with my 22 rifle and never get a sore shoulder, I tend to develop a case of the yips shooting to much heavy stuff and the 22 helps get rid of it, and FYI Iv'e seen a pellet shoot a hole thru a tire at 25ft

I put a pellet through 1" plywood with this rifle at close range, supposedly it is almost as fast as a .22LR

I picked up a Savage Axis II (.223 Winchester) with scope. Nice rifle. Need the weather to break a little to get over to the range and give it a go...
I kinda like the old 110 series (easier to F with)I think you will find Savages to be Crazy accurate for cheap money and 223 ammo is easy to either load or buy,you can but Tula or Wolf pretty cheap 55g bullets are the most common and give great performance
