[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 1768081, member: 13337"] I received my trainer last Friday from Buds Gun Shop,,, All I had time for was a quick trip to the range and 25 rounds,,, It went bang and felt good but I didn't have time for more than that This Sunday the weather seemed perfect for some shooting,,, Cloudy and overcast with hardly any breeze at all,,, I decided to go shoot 100 rounds at 50 yards. Since this rifle is going to be used in Rimfire Silhouette matches,,, I decided to use the LRN military surplus Remington I have,,, I bought 10,000 rounds of it a few years back,,, I later acquired another 10,000 rounds,,, That should last me for a long time. I can't go to the range without forgetting something essential,,, This time I forgot my target stand and spotting scope,,, Left them sitting right beside the living room door. I found some cardboard there and taped my paper silhouette targets to it,,, So I'm shooting at 8 pig paper silhouette targets at 50 yards. The CZ has an adjustable ramp rear sight that is marked at 25, 50, 75, 100, etc. I set the ramp at fifty yards and slowly fired 5 shots from the bench,,, I'm walking towards the target (no spotting scope) and see no holes,,, "Dang!" I'm thinking,,, "I missed the cardboard." Then as I got closer I saw that all five bullets were in the black pig. WooHoo! I almost quit shooting right there,,, I was thinking it was time to retire the rifle forever. I fired 95 more rounds downrange,,, I had a few more 5 shot rounds like the first,,, But most were 4 shot hits with one just outside the target. I tried two ways of shooting with these iron sights,,, With my glasses so the sights were sharp but a fuzzy target,,, And without my glasses so the target was sharp but with fuzzy sights. I think I did much better placing clear sights on a fuzzy target. I was sitting on a bucket using an inexpensive MTM rifle rest,,, You sharpshooters out there are probably chuckling at my shooting,,, But this is the best I've shot with a rifle in several seasons of practice shooting. Remember,,, I'm 60 years old,,, Half-blind and a bit shaky. I think I've finally found a rifle that fits me,,, Next time out I'll take my Silhouette Spinner targets,,, I'll take a tape measure to set them out at the correct distances and score myself. Boil it down to essence: The 5 round magazine loads very easily,,, The stock is the correct size for a 6' 2" adult male,,, The sights are very solid and easy to draw a fine bead with,,, The trigger has a teeny amount of creep but breaks light and cleanly,,, The bolt seemed a bit stiff at first but after 100 rounds it got a bit smoother. After a few years of trying a lot of .22's,,, I think I've finally found the rimfire rifle I've been looking for,,, All in all I am initially delighted with the feel and performance of this rifle Aarond .
