OB got me spending all my money. 15-22 Edition

That's a great deal for a MOE

I'm real excited. I've been stockpiling .22lr for a couple of years. Now I finally get to use it

TRS-25 is a very popular optic. Can't go wrong with that

Welcome to the family

Solid optic for this little gun IMO. Took mine out this past weekend and plinked up the woods.

what distance did you zero it is at and how far out are you comfortable shooting? hoping to thin out some coons and squirrels with it

Next you need to get this.

Depends on (1) maximum distance you plan to shoot and (2) optic height above bore and (3) velocity/weight of bullet.

My optics on a flat top AR style rifle end up about 2.5 " above the bore. I shoot CCI Mini-Mags that advertise 1235 ft/sec and a 40 grain bullet.

The ballistics calculator I use shows that zeroing at 75 yards means that maximum departure from line of sight is 0.7" (high) out to 75 yards, and is 2.3" low at 100 yards. (I figure 100 yards ia probably the absolute max range for me.)

I'd like one of these or a Ruger SR-22 rifle, which takes 10/22 magazines. Anyone ever shot the Ruger?

Yes, I owned one for a few months. Don't get it. It's a heavy pile of shite. It's a 10/22 hidden in aluminum, you can take it out of the SR-22 conversion kit and put it in a Hogue stock and have a normal 10/22. The barrel shroud isn't connected to the gun very well so it will actually flex when grabbed making BUIS on it useless. It comes with a little rubber stopper to prevent the shroud from doing that, but that actually flexes on the barrel and makes everything worse. 15-22 is the better way to go if you want taticool or get a 10/22 and put a Hogue stock/bull barrel on it if you want the 10/22 platform.

Good info thanks. I already have a regular 10/22 and have been wanting to do the Hogue stock/barrel route. I might still pick up a 15-22.
