Hi guys.
I am a new shooter, until today, haven't shot anything since boy-scouts about 27 years ago.
After a couple weeks of researching, I decided the 15-22 would be a great start, and man was it a good choice!
I had a local shop order the MOE for $530ish total. Took 5 days to come in, which I spent studying every video/tutorial/demo/review/forum/whatnot.
I took it to a range today and put 200 rounds though it pretty quickly. I brought only 50 CCI stingers, thinking the range makes you buy their ammo, but that wasn't the case. All they had was Winchester Wildcats and Remington (thanks to the research, I know not to use it), so I picked up their last 3 boxes of Winchester. I remembered the manual recommends one type of Winchester and does NOT recommend another, but I couldn't remember which. After getting home I realize the Wildcats that I shot is what they do not recommend... Doh
Of the 200 rounds, I only had 1 issue, where it did not fire, it was the Unrecommended Wildcat. I am not sure what happened, as I ejected, the bullet looked fine, I reloaded it, and it shot, somewhat... The Wildcats seem to vary a little, this one was like a cap gun and I am not even sure it made it the 50 feet to the target. I see why it's on the not recommend.
Anyway, I am freaking hooked!! I would have shot another 200 if the range wasn't down to only Remington left. Love this gun. Looking forward to accessorizing (though I want a little more time in with the basics). Already want like 10 more guns! OMG - What did I get myself into? Help!
