Default Them Lame Excuses Again

Let's see:

I needed to buy a gun before the end of the year.
I have a bunch of .22 ammo on hand.
They will sell me 200 rounds of .22 if I buy the gun.
I don't have one of these.
Well, not exactly like this one.
With those good adjustable sights, don't need a scope or red dot.
It comes with a mount for a scope or a red dot sight.
They might quit making these.
On and On.

Anyhow, for less than $305 OTD, tax and all, including 200 rounds of standard velocity ammo, I was shooting it by dinner time (lunch). Sights were right on the Mt. Dew can at ten yards. I have been needing one of these for a while.

Couple years ago they were selling the 4" blue slabside 22/45 for some silly low price. All gone by the time I got there.

I wound up with the 5.5" bull barrel. Not exactly what I wanted but haven't been the slightest bit disappointed.

It's now wearing a cheapo Barska reflex optic.

My son has a Ruger with a fluted barrel (not sure of model). He has 5 mags. and a tool to load them and he can go through a box of shells in a few minutes. It is accurate and fun to shoot and will get rid of shells faster than a sheen gun. Larry
