So we took out my son's new 22LR Yesterday.
Got a CZ 457 Varmint, with one of the most beautiful walnut stocks I have ever seen, and the very zeroed PA SLX 1-6x24 SFP Scope Gen 3, with a 22 ACSS ret. this might be the finest 22lr I have ever shot, and we had so much fun yesterday at Dead Zero on their new Rimfire area. Filled with both paper targets, and a bunch of steel gophers at various ranges. After shooting lasers from 50-100 yds, My son spied a man Silhoute target we hadn't noticed yet at well over 200 (actually turned out to be 285 per the guy at the clubhouse). My son took a shot no ding, I said, son, that is WAY WAY out there, there is no way your......DING! Okay well I was corrected. He also had the biggest **** eating grin afterwards. (I'll never hear the end of it) He had to hold the target at the bottom of scope below reticle, but yeah. It was like him making a 1,000 yard hit on my .243 700 M40A3 clone, second try. I can't recommend this rifle enough, for the money it's competing with rediculous 2-3k match 22LR in terms of accuracy, thick bull barrel and just beauftul turkish walnut with Czech craftmanship, and light enough for hunting. It was a huge upgrade from his first little 22LR cadet trainer, (cheap italian starter rifle prob sold for $30-50 when it came out in the 60s)

Dead Zero Rimfire range under construction
What we saw, their new rimfire area seperate from rifle range, and perfect place to take your kid. Away from erebody blasting 30 cal in your ears. Was a gorgeous day.
Perspective
At 50 Even my bad eyes could could make a smile face on the human silhouette, and I managed a 2 inch group of 5 at 100, I am sure rifle is capable of better but I wasn't. We most enjoyed the various metal groundhogs they have set up at various ranges 40,50,60,70,100, 110 etc. There's also some .5" and 1" spinners on the left. I was able to spin them 70% of the time, but My eyes are not as good for such a small target even with 6x mag.
Boy was happy and we both had grins....enjoyed it more then the rifle range to be honest. A lot easier on the wallet as well.
