Shooting on Fathers day

[SPL_Josh]

Woke up sunday and decided to get a scope for my Marlin 25MNSS (Ducks Unlimited Gun) it had been needing a scope for almost over a year. Went to Buckeye Outdoors and got a nice Simmons 6x22?-44 mil dot scope.

 

Sighted the 22mag in and also shot the 597 22lr while i was at it.

Here are the results.

I will never use Winchester Wildcat 22LR ammo as it is JUNK, horribly inconsistent.

 

 

Distance to Target -Roughly 50 yards

I attempted my first Krlon paint job on the 597. Turned out OK

What i discoverd is both guns need trigger mods, pull is about 9-10 lbs. 2.5-3.5 would be ideal for me. Also i need more time to practice as I tend to shoot a little left.

Now that i finally got a scope, will be working on my accuracy at 125 yards (front yard):bangbang:

Awesome paint work! Nice job.

 

I have good luck with the .22LR Remington Golden bullets. They are inexpensive and very consistent.
