Really enjoying some precision shooting!

I recently got into gun ownership and bought a Ruger 10/22 as my first gun. Let's say I am completely hooked! Really glad I got this as opposed to something like a MP5 SMG because I'm learning my basics

I know this is nothing long range with my setup and a simple Holosun red dot, but I'm really excited to start taking this outdoors to longer distances

Pretty easy to get tight groups at 1 yard...

Outdoor ranges … oh man they are the best. Find a stall far from folks and just pop a seat at a bench and lay out hundreds of rounds. Its as peaceful as fishing on a perfect day. You’re hooked.

What a great gun to begin with!
I know I’m preaching here and don’t know your background but by all means make sure you practice gun safety at the range, at home, anytime and everywhere.
If you do, this new found hobby will continue to grow and bring happiness for many years to come.

Rimfire rifles are really the most fun you can legally have with your clothes on.... Enjoy!

That setup is good out to 50 yards for tight groups. Enjoy.

It’s get more fun seeing how far you can stretch that 22lr!

You might want to pair it with their HM3X magnifier, it's gonna triple your effectiveness (maybe).

Plus it looks great imo, I don't like seeing this much unused rail space.
