Bolt vs semi

[frdfandc]

I agree with Minuteman.

For fundamentals, I learned on a .22 WMR bolt action with wood stock, when I was 11-12 years old. In the near future - 3-4 weeks - I'm going to be buying a Ruger 10/22 Carbine Poly with SS barrel for plinking.

A little rusty behind a rifle, but everything started coming back. Need to spend more time at the range.

Here is what I did this past monday with the Savage .22 WMR (wood stock) sighting in a new scope (Simmons 22 Mag). The fliers were Remington WMR at 50 yards. Once I switched to CCI brand, the groups came in much better when I moved the target back to 100 yards.

Then I spent time sighting in my .270 at 50 and 100 yards. It's a Tikka T3 Lite SS (poly stock) with a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9-50 scope. You can see how I was able to walk the rounds in.

Just goes to show you that fundamentals always stay with you.

How good do you want to be?

You will have more fun blasting with a semi, you will learn much more with a bolt. I learned on a pump .22. Every trigger squeeze counts.

I have a semi already. Went with the "tacticool" to start, sig 522, and want to get better with irons, just with something plain and simple.

get a cz 453, drill little holes, call it a day.

1. Don't want mag fed, cause then I'll want to spend more on extra mags instead of ammo.

2. Looking to spend somewhere around 2, like with the xt-22r, not 4-5, like a cz. Nice guns though.
