I have been told that only about 10% of them would hit the inside wall of a barn.

This prairie dog was shot just shy of 75 yds. with this FA 252 in .22LR a couple years ago. Damned thing won't shoot either. Only hits 40 out of 40 targets in IHMSA Unlimited Any Sight .22 matches. Never can get the blasted thing to hit 41 out of 40.

I'm afraid to get one....then I would have no excuses for my misses.... diggin

Ken, quite a scope on that .22....did you get to shoot the FA .22 at Whittington that had a very small dot type optic mounted? No magnification, but a very nice set up.

Yes I did Bill. It had the Leupold Delta Point (triangle), and for my use the red triangle was a bit too large for small game hunting. I have used many red dots, and have about 6 mounted on handguns now, mostly Ultra Dots. I like them a lot for some closer range big game hunting, but not for squirrel hunting or prairie dogs, where I want some magnification and a very defined aiming point. Even the sharp point at the top of the triangle was not distinct enough to suit me for such small game.

Two guns I have always wanted, the Freedom .22 and the .41. Yes, will you get over it, I am not stupid.
Maybe the .44 too!
Do I surprise You? I suppose so, No .22 revolver has ever been as good as the Freedom.
None of you read or understand what I say. You just rebel.
Do you not understand it is management and the boss that allows anything to go out?
Am I surprised a .454 shoots good--No but neither would I be when one shoots bad, Luck of the greed draw.
When I was a brake specialist and the boss told me to not build the wheel cylinders, I knew he was wrong and there would be trouble. He did not care and would take the chance. Profit right now! The percentage of failures was low enough so he could eat the cost but you better believe he put the blame on something else and still made money. I would stand back and under my breath call him a creep.
I repaired TV's for a long time to find a shop would set the grey scale and color but leave the wing screws loose so they had to come back soon for another adjustment. Did you know cars going up the road would vibrate the settings?
The general public is STUPID!
Ethics! I have ethics. Never would I cheat you.
Where do you fall?
Not one single time in my entire life have I made anything I did not work for. I have lost money but the customer came back.
Bash me but you have no idea when someone shakes your tail to dump your money on the ground so they have it all while you praise them.
I don't want a single dime not earned.

How sad, my Ruger .22 will beat that! In fact 200 yards is less then 3"!
I must have centered over 200 pop cans at 100 yards with a Ruger .44 and open sights from Creedmore. But you do impress me to no end. You lost my decoder ring yet still manage 3"!
You need a Ruger to approach 1". dancing

My darn FA 475 also shoots that bad, everything I aim it at falls over. And after 262 rounds with a Leupold 2.5 x 8 the thing hasn't moved. I like the express sights so much Im going to buy another one, but its such a blast (little play on words there) with the scope.
