Good luck and be careful on Friday, the crowds won't be good. I'm glad I been buying 22 here and there. According to my records I've been able to pick up close to 100,000 rounds over the last year or so

I thought the same but looked at what he got and it had one of them little pencil like scopes on it. hope it works out Don, when I said you were PIW I was judging by my own past experience, I never get lucky on scopes anyway. Got to where I put Nikon Prostaffs on most everything now, good scopes for the money and seem to be reliable so far,.

this one will work for now. may update it later on. I checked while in the store on a couple of websites that gave it 4 out of 5 stars. never know who's leaving reviews LOL

I was curious and did a little researching. This chart shows different loads out to 300 yards but with way more drop than you have calculated with close to 14ft with regular 22lr.

Never had any luck with anything cheaper than a Nikon. How come you spend thousands on equipment to hunt fictitious creatures, but cheap out on gear to hunt real critters?

Holy crap I took a WAG and never thought it would be that much drop. Really thought it might be too much.
