Very nice, I got my first 03/22 at the range. 200 yards right in front of the backstop. Mangy looking thing must have just came out of it's den. It won't be returning after catching a 69 grain Nosler Custom Competition.

Yep, she's a beaut! Congrats on the chuck. Our rockchucks are coming out but we're trying to hold off until May. We don't have a lot of them so we've been deliberately limiting ourselves over 1000 yards until the first of May...so far, it's been pretty easy on the resource!

Thanks, that rifle sat in storage for approx. 40 years. I got it new in the box in 2006. What a find. My friend had about 15 of them that were stored all those years. 222's, 222 mags and 243's from a gun store that closed in 66". When the owner passed his wife contacted a friend who purchased them.

Nice rifle and glad you connected. I was in PA several weeks ago and could not believe it when a 'hog poked his head up when it was 25degrees out! He was 652yards and juuuuuuust missed over his head.

Doesn't get much better than that. Nice shooting and nice rifle.
