I've got a T/C r22 (10/22 clone) that is a S&W Performance center rifle. I put it in a Titan 10/22 stock and Have a Crimson Trace 5 series mil scope on it. On my private range, out to 200 yards it's a hoot to shoot steel at distance. Also have a KYL target with the smallest spinner at .5", and a small dueling tree. It's even more fun to sit on the Pond dam and snipe turtles with it...although, I'm starting to run low on turtle targets. S&W Performance Center stuff doesn't get much attention. My AR-15 in .300 BO was ordered direct from the S&W Performance center and sent to my FFL. They're definitely a step up.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

If I had a sweet set up like Flintknapper, I would have many more. Thats the problem I have is nowhere FUN to shoot. Gun ranges get boring just running drills on paper targets. This one is fun with its can attached.. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/MTVtm8hx/IMG-4112.jpg)

Thats the problem I have is nowhere FUN to shoot. We shoot liquor bottles at the dump. Somehow, there's always more.

The 22lr bug bit me recently, so right now, precision rimfire, which will be a Bergara B14R when I get a scope on it. Handguns it has to be my 10mm 1911.

Fun range/friends + any gun = GREAT day. My favorite shooter, on the right, is a 6.5 CM hunting rifle by Mesa Precision. It weighs in at just under 9lbs with a cheapo bipod. With DCR's 153 A-tips, she finishes mid-pack in club-level precision matches (500-1200) against purpose-built bench guns. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/02/full-68917-380475-1675867427482_resized.jpg)

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. I absolutely agree with d Stroud . I can shoot my CZ MTR all day long all the way out to 500 yards it is a blast. And when I say all day I mean all day 2 3 4 500 rounds it does not make a difference it doesn't get hot it just keeps shooting. No recoil and lots of practice reading the wind.
