Will never win a match, but it sure was fun!

My wife and I enjoy going out and plinking with our 22's. A number of years ago I used a Nightforce 42x on my CZ455 and shot a bit better than you see here. At 71 and after many eye surgeries I never thought I would shoot iron sights or a red dot again. To my surprise, I found something that just happened to get my attention. After years of shooting local competition (short and long range) across many calibers (from PPC to 28 Nosler), I bought a little Henry 22 mag to play with at the range. After shooting a few rounds at 50 yards it became apparent that the rifle was pretty accurate. I had read where many were dissatisfied with the accuracy of 22 mag ammo so I purchased a few boxes and away we go. You will see the results in the attachment. It won't win any prizes but man was it fun.

Sorry to hear that Dusty. I bought this one as a play toy to shoot with wife. Had a lever action years ago and always loved them. I hope you get yours squared away!

Does that red dot height let you shoot standing with the gun on the bench ?

He had some extra riser blocks he had to hide from his wife, even a 45deg one
