Ruger 10/22

Probably my Beretta Silver Pigeon Sporting. I get bored shooting pistols and rifles at paper even some of my cool guns. I have the most fun shooting sporting clays with a nice O/U.

Same here. Either my wedding present (an SP3 20 gauge) or my Guerini. Sporting clays is by far my favorite shooting discipline

I will have to say it’s hard not to smile when you shoot at a steel plate at 400yds with a 22 rimfire and wait a few seconds for that sound “tink”….. so I say the B14R trainer.

Smearing some tainted trapping bait on a white blank target and killing the flies that land on it with a tricked out 10/22.

Yep at 350 yards I can send first round to see where I’m at on steel then send the other 9 rounds before the first impact. So I’d say KIDD 10/22 for sure.

My Remington Mohawk. It’s the rifle that I did the most work on to make it a good shooter that meets a need I recognized. I found bottom metal, changed the trigger, worked on barrel channel, sourced a good rail, mounted and bore sighted the scope I selected. At the range, pretty satisfying. Riding shotgun in the Ranger and knowing it’s good from 50-500 yards,,,,even better.


An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

This is my 2nd favorite. Ive never considered my B14R a trainer….its my goto rimfire rifle. Accurate as hell and gets alot of attention at the range everyone wanting to know what kind of rifle it is.

Golf all races with Winchester 62s is a lot of fun.

S&W 629 shooting better groups at the Garland range than rifle shooters on each side of me.

Several others come to mind

I never have been one to waste ammo at the range. I have always been able to hit what I aim at with any weapon until I bought an AR. I can’t shoot a running animal worth a [censored] with it. The pistol grip is not natural for me. I’ve spent a lot of powder at my range and I don’t see a lot of improvement on moving targets. Tho swing is not natural. I like the idea of the AR, but I can kill more hogs out of a group with my bolt gun. After the first shot I’m torquing it when I squeeze the trigger. Trying snap shots in the pasture but not being successful so far. I’ll make it happen but it’s pissing me off.

A youth model Rossi 22 pump rifle I got when I was 8 yrs old. I don't pull it out very often anymore, but when I do it's a lot fun.
