Practically Shooting

Morning at the range with the Rossi

A while back I posted that I'd bought a Rossi matched pair in .22/12Ga...

It wasn't strictly what I wanted. H and R weren't coming into the country at that point, and for a combo, I'd prefer a .410, which was only available with .22Mag (thus my idea of using the 12ga bits to make 9mm).

We have a single shot comp, for strict single shot open sights. The rossi has fibre optic front sight, and the break action is ideal for one round with 5 shots in 45 seconds, where fumbling around with feeding ramps in bolt actions, and cocking firing pins

It went down a treat, everyone wanted a play.

Pretty ammo tolerant, CCI bluebox, Lapua Club and Winchester sub hollow points all shooting to the same POI at 60 yards, and keeping me inside the 4 ring (our blacks are 4, 5, V)...even stingers were about 1.5 minute of coke can at 130(ish) yards with the 60 yard sight set-up.

Had an absolute ball shooting the simplest, cheapest rifle in my collection.

Great rifle for teaching children too...I will be in 4 years or so when my daughter reaches legal age.
