OK thought I would start a thread about what different manufactures say about dry fireing their rimfire firearms. These are quotes from their manuals that I have, or from their FAQ's If anyone else feels like checking their manuals maybe they could post their recomadations from those manfactures.
Ruger 10/22 page 14 (You should practice "dry-firing" an empty …)
Ruger Mark l page 7-- 4.If desired or if circumstances require it, the bolt can be left in the open position, being held there by the safety. If it is desired to close the bolt, again look to be certain the chamber is empty. Then, push the safety down (the letter "F" will show) and the bolt will snap forward. Keep your fingers out of the receiver! 5. Make certain the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction, then pull the trigger to decock the pistol.
S&W 15-22 page 14 Caution: Never dry-fire the rifle as damage to the firearm could result.
