[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3101625, member: 75451"] We (wife and I) bought a pair of Ruger 77/22's, and tried to make them as close a twin as possible to our hunting rifles. They were already similar in weight, we replaced the triggers for a much better trigger pull (close to that of our hunting rifles) cut her stock to the same LOP as her hunting rifle, scopes of similar power. While these cannot replicate the recoil of our hunting rifles……all of the other shooting fundamentals are fairly closely replicated, from offhand, prone, sitting, sticks, ect. However……. "Doping" for wind can't be replicated with the 22's. We can shoot a lot of 22 LR's far less expensively than our hunting rounds! A bullet drop chart for your cartridge can be figured, using a chronograph, the bullet BC, expected atmospheric conditions and elevation/temperatures, ect. We can shoot 1400 rounds (Remington Bucket of bullets) for under $100. To shoot 1400 rounds from our hunting rifles would cost us in the neighborhood of $3K (if I did my math right), and use up a lot of very hard to obtain reloading components ……not to mention the time reloading. Oh and……Welcome from North Central Wyoming! memtb [/QUOTE]
