Well! Good to be in sharpshooter company! (Don and Quint)
They don’t make the Mark II anymore so I don’t know if they are anything high value.
I had a lot of fun with it. .22 rounds got scarce in the mid 2000s and then came back
Outrageously priced. But man, we put a lot of lead in that bank.
My first rifle was the Ruger 10/22. I have since upgraded from that, but I kept it. I just didn’t like the magazine for it. I bought a Henry .22 lever action and have only put 10 rounds through it.
(“Load on Sunday, shoot all week”)
We don’t practice like we used to. It’s gotten expensive and the county has gotten so built out and populated there’s no where to shoot anymore.
I avoid indoor ranges. Better to join a gun club with an outdoor range or go to a WMA.
I have see some real yahoos in the indoor ranges that shouldn’t be allowed to even pick up a firearm, no less waving it around.
The place where we used to shop did a bowling pin tournament once a month.
We used to save broken household items to use for outdoor targets..old clocks, old computer hard drives,
Plastic jugs filled with water, and cardboard boxes with reactive targets stuck on them.
Yes, we cleaned up the mess and picked up our brass.
Quint, you have an impressive shooting sports background.
I do have a Co2 single shot .22 pellet pistol that I can legally fire in the backyard, but it’s not as fun
due to low velocity halfway thru a Co2 cartridge.
Don, have you watched

They did 2 trips and 2 separate movies.
We enjoyed them both.
What a photo op these guys get.
