Haha, I love it. What a great rifle! I got my first 10/22 after hearing so many happy shooting reports... what a fantastic .22! I got it out today for the first time, I just purchased it at a recent show. I also picked up a cheap $40 scope but did the touchy feely to find the best one for the buck, I figured it matched the .22 ok.
I called the county today to check shooting restrictions and found out I was good to go on my recently acquired 10 acres. I started out using the cci quiet 710 fps rounds, lead bullet. The rifle shot like a dream, smooth, although with the subsonic rounds it was pretty much bolt action.
I did have my scope rotated 45% to the left so elevation and windage were reversed, had me confused for a bit, but finally I just held where I needed and the thing will split hairs. Next week I'll adjust the scope properly. This is the first scope I have tried, usually use open sights, but thought the scope would be good for hard to see critters and squirrel season.
I know this post is kind of self-indulgent, but so excited about this little .22 I had to blow off some excitement!
