Default Finally sent some rounds downrange...

... and I couldn't be happier. I've had my 15-22 for probably a good four months now and finally got a chance to take her out yesterday evening. 200 rounds of CCI Mini Mags got sent downrange (in hindsight I should have brought more ammo ) with only two small hiccups; one light strike (could've been a fluke) and one faulty round (the bullet was loose in the casing, no fault of the rifle). No FTFs or FTEs at all

My only complaint was it took a while to get her sighted in and grouping well, but trouble sighting it in was to be expected; mine was a display model in the store I bought it at, so I'm sure people had been playing around with the windage and elevation settings.

Can't wait to take her out again... I think I'm in love

Great to hear, we love ours, my wife usually runs between 250 and 550 rounds everytime we go out... Just a great gun, thinking I will purchase another one when I have satisfied a few other guns I want...

Congrats on a GREAT gun. I notice you are in Lexington. I live in Louisville( moved from Lexington last year for the wifes job) and myself and a few others go to Knob Creek on a regular basis. If you would want to join us if you ever have some spare time, you'd be most welcome. As its always great to have that extra peson as a shooting buddy( you never know when some ones plans may change, and its good to have other people with similar intrests to hang out with)

I 100% understand what you mean lol I average ablout 150-250 rounds with each trip to the range, some times ALOT more...sometimes a lil less lol. Thats why Im setting on top of AT LEAST 1500 rounds at any given time. 'Cause there are those days I can just get there at the range's opening.. and leave at closing time lol
