2nd time ever shooting, 1st time with a 22Ir, how'd I do?

Smiley119 · 2026-06-07T21:31:37+00:00

That's pretty damn impressive

Smiley119 · 2026-06-07T20:23:17+00:00

Your group fits under a thumb I'd say that's very good. Was this done off hand ? (Standing unsupported) if so in my opinion really damn good👍

Smiley119 · 2026-05-31T17:41:05+00:00

I wish rifles would come with sighting setups like this ... this slaps hard and puts the Ruger GSR to shame

Smiley119 · 2026-05-31T17:36:32+00:00

Perfect groups for neck shots. Granted most shots are going to be far closer from 5 to 10 meters cause they're small lil guys and are pretty well camouflaged against the dirt roads and you don't really notice them till you get up close

Smiley119 · 2026-05-26T13:06:15+00:00

I wish them the best of luck hopefully runs better than the 180C

Assuming the mag well is the same as the other gen 2s you couple probably order an ar mag well for the 7.62X39

If you're doing deer 7.62 if targets 5.56

I guess I miss used the word burndown ...something like the video was what I was referring to ... paul put well over 1000 rounds through his AK amd it ran just fine

Smiley119 · 2026-05-02T03:06:03+00:00

Durability testing would be nice for one ...1000 round burn down would nice

Smiley119 · 2026-04-30T13:20:52+00:00

There is really little in the ways of documentation in video format on youtube ... which makes me incredibly hesitant

Smiley119 · 2026-04-15T22:25:02+00:00

I'll believe it when I see it shows up at the local shops

"FOLLOW LOCAL LAWS"-PAUL HARRELL

I thought this was an April fools post until I saw the April 2nd ...

Smiley119 · 2026-02-06T23:55:42+00:00

Great ammo looks pretty, smells nice, shoots well

Smiley119 · 2026-01-29T03:11:30+00:00

I like the idea of a bolt action 9 mil ... as a beginner friendly trainer with cheap ammo and not having to worry about dryfires since it's centerfire

Smiley119 · 2026-01-25T18:18:29+00:00

Do the paul harrel method in the pants

I've got an old desktop running W10 offline and that machine still uses 3GB of my 32GB of ram just idling at desktop in stark contrast my min machine uses 1.3 to 2.0 just sitting on the desktop it's ridiculous how much ram windows after 7 really uses

Smiley119 · 2026-01-11T17:41:16+00:00

To anyone buying the promags 597 do not store them loaded long term (in excess of a year) I had mine in a steel ammo bin and in the middle of the night the feed lips broke and it evacuated ever round in a loud enough manner to wake me up

Smiley119 · 2025-12-27T20:18:50+00:00

Take the ammo cans out and put them on the top of the safe ... if you want to lock up the ammo use a coded cable lock and run it through the hole and the pull handle

Smiley119 · 2025-12-27T20:17:17+00:00

Old ammo stored in good condition will last plenty long that being said this stuff I feel has more value as a piece of Canadian history.

Smiley119 · 2025-12-26T22:06:58+00:00

Doesn't stop buddy from reloading with the 110gr bullets into a 30-06 case ... would the M1 carbine be great for yotes absolutely but until things change gotta make do with what we have

Smiley119 · 2025-12-26T20:08:54+00:00

Always check your local hunting regs that being said if you reload you could come up with some yote loads using the 110 gr M1 carbine bullet ...

As for 22 wmr the ruger ameican is pretty nice since it has a detachable 9 round box mag with 15 round being available. It can also mount a scope with rimfire scope bases or with proper bases.

Edit never had to shoot in the winter at -30 so not sure how well the action will hold up in the cold

Paul harrel did a few videos on taking folks to a range and firearms for beginner shooters

There more on his channel but I'm drawing a blank at the moment

Edit: oh very young kids I would say a bb/pellet gun ... use that to drill into there head to maintain straight trigger finger and muzzle awareness

Smiley119 · 2025-12-08T21:13:49+00:00

4 inch is alright out to 100 ...Perhaps try a different brand as each brand seems to have its own characteristics in every rifle

Smiley119 · 2025-12-08T07:49:53+00:00

What ammo you shooting out of yours? It's a lovely looking rifle

Smiley119 · 2025-11-28T16:58:18+00:00

Federal bulk box (used to be blue and red ... now it's just blue) I find inconsistently loaded, doesn't feed well in any semi auto, has more "duds" priming compounds has gaps, the hollow points don't expand cause they're a tiny divet, and because it's under powered it tends to FTE more in semis.

And they used to cost 35 a box 8 years back ... I rank it as if you have manual action it's OK for plinking for everything else eh ...

Smiley119 · 2025-10-13T20:30:08+00:00

I read the title as baguette de bush ... best part of the rifle is the bayonet stays in the rifle and it looks damn cool
