Got a used 10/22

[jon lynn]

Okay, it is NOT a tack driver.

GOOD: Over 300 rounds before first jam. The American Eagle started to jam at shot #302. All I did was clear it, and then loaded CCI Maxi Mag, and fired 30 rounds without a glitch, then fifty rounds of the Remington Gold, no jams or stove pipes.

I DO NOT HAVE A GAGE, SO I COULD NOT MEASURE RIMS!!!!!

BAD: Trigger was very stiff, I found my self jerking from the get go. After painstaking concentration, (I shot my Savage Mk II first, it has a new sear, and is set to mouse burp), I was getting spreads from one to two inches at 50 yards. With the CCI, I hit a dime sized bulls eye about every sixth or seventh shot.

I will try other various ammo to see what it likes, and will 100% use my tax return for a new trigger and/or sear to see if that helps. QUESTION: can I install these items myself? Still can not find a gunsmith here.

The Burris Fullfield II (3-9x 40mm) turned out to be a choice I am pleased with, seems to fit just right.

But after I visit to my kids in Germany in April, I see a new 20" bull barrel purchase in May!! SECOND QUESTION: same as above.

But over all it was just a joy to shoot, and I know I will not be purchasing an AR, if I could zip through over 300 .22LR's in an hour, imagine what the cost of me owning an AR would do to my bullet budget!
