The military standard for a kill shot is it has to penetrate a 3/4 inch pine board, which would simulate a rib cage. Iraqveteran8888 was shooting through a 3/4 inch pine board at 400 yards with a 22lr...Don't underestimate that round..
@@charisperissos1320 When I was a teenager we would take our .22 to a bank along our field and put a bucket out on the other end. Never measured how far but we couldn't see the bucket in the scope to shoot at it. We would aim at the top of a 80foot tree behind the bucket and a spotter would walk in the shots watching with binoculars. After hitting it the first time it was surprisingly easy to keep hitting the bucket. even at that distance it would go through both sides.
@@charisperissos1320 300 yd comps require very expensive optics and a 30moa rail and your scope is still only 20 moa from max. Good stuff but frustrating. .22@300 is like 300 winmag @1000
I really like my 10/22, I spent many a weekend in the woods with my old single shot .22 getting squirrel’s, rabbits and frogs at the old pond, this was in the late 50’s and early 60’s. I wouldn’t trade those days for anything…. My next rifle was a government military issued M-16 in 1969👍
My personal pick is says top 5. Accurate, carry lots of ammo with no fatigue, no recoil, quite, deadly. Takedown model for back pack. Mags are easy to find and it’s got 5 versions of every firearm accessory ever made lmao Heck, maybe I should say my top 3 lol.
In your opinion. My opinion is that it’s not even close to top 10. Had one for 10 years or so and sold it, just this past summer actually. Not trying to start any arguments, everyone’s opinion is correct to them.
@@stevennewman4778 I guess this is the only time I’ve ever heard of any organization using a firearm as a non-lethal weapon. Well of course they’re murder weapons, to them they are “assault” guns to those idiots. Semi-automatic you know...
@@bepropheta6665 my opinion is it is at least top ten gun. Had one for many, many years I shot it till barrel and receiver were wore completely out! Now I have 3 that aren’t nearly as good as the old one but they still are reliable. There are more accurate guns out there. The Marlin bolt action I had was more accurate but not by much. The 10/22 is a good all around gun in anyone’s book!
I like the 10/22 carbine so well that I own two of them. One the standard carbine in stainless, ( for hunting and plinking with iron sights) plus one the standard carbine, (blued ) dressed in an aftermarket AR style stock, topped with a red dot. I bought my first 10/22, back when Reagan was in office, sold it off when I was hard up for cash, and regretted that decision for years. Times got better, my bank account more flush, so I bought the two that I have, today. Great little rifles. Kept clean, they are both accurate and reliable. I tend to run CCI ammo through them and have had better results than with other brands of LR, although they handle Remington Thunderbolt ammo, pretty well, too.
I sold one 40 years ago. It was a deluxe walnut stock model. The grain was a full fiddleback !! One inch stripes at butt plate tapering down to quarter inch stripes at the other end. A once in a lifetime stock.....and I let it go😢.
I spent most of my childhood, during the 50's and 60's in the north-west of Western Australia and, by far, the most common rifle I saw back then was the humble old .22. A lot of the bright young things of today would scoff at me whenever I told them of seeing people bring down a 6 feet tall, 180 pound Western Red kangaroo with a .22. In a lot of cases it was done purely out of the necessity to be a bloody good shot, because a lot of people augmented their income by shooting 'roos for the bounty that was on them back then. Added to that was the fact that the most common large calibre rifles available were old ex-army Lee-Enfield .303's and even back then, .303 ammunition was pretty expensive. So, the little Aussie battler, out there in the bush, had to make do with whatever was at hand, which also meant shooting over iron sights, mostly at night, with a spotlight! Far too many people are far too eager to dismiss a .22 as inadequate for certain types of game and I have and always will, dispute that notion. In the right hands, a .22 will get the job done.
I lived in South Australia, spent six days in Flinders Ranges with basic rations basically lived off the land. Filtered water, shot rabbits with the 22, got some , caught snakes and fish. Great solid experience.
@@bigbearm8521 I don't trust .22LR ammo for hunting anymore. I now use .22 MAGNUM rimfire ammo because it is much more powerful in gun barrels over 5" inches in length ! It's a much better survival caliber than the .17 rimfire caliber also.
With all of the guns that I own, I still find that plinking with the .22LR is some of the most fun that I have on the range. Being an old fart now, it takes me back to my childhood. Thanks for the video!
The Ruger 10/22 is still my most favorite rifle of all time! I have won many turkey shoots at my local gun club with open sights! Just got a scope for mine, and waiting for it to warm up a little more here in Ohio before I try it out! Great video! 👍👍
I love my ruger 10/22....and I almost never shoot under 100 yds unless im sighting in a new scope. Rimfire or centerfire. Or when I would take my sons to the range....we would have contest at 25-50-75 and 100 yds. But hell as long as you are out shooting....shoot whatever and as far as you want.
Another great video! You said it, you are just a regular dude like most of us. Thats why you are my number 1 TH-cam gun channel! Probably even my number 1 TH-cam channel in general. My girls even love watching your videos with me. My girls even love watching your videos with me.
My 10/22 is great in terms of reliability, accessories, parts availability, and serviceability. I bought the 50th anniversary (2014) with a Stainless Steel barrel and composite stock. It temperamental. Somedays it's a tack driver, and other days, I'm happy to get 4-6 MOA.
@@Yorktown-pb8bd Yep - my 10/22 can put one after another through the same hole at 30 yards with CCI. With Winchester white box they are all over the place, sometimes as much as 6 inches low and up to 1 inch left. CCI is all I'll buy until proven otherwise.
@@TjM2076 Thanks. I bought the FAT (firearm accurizing tool) for that purpose. I need to be consistent with my ammo choices, because it changes when I switch. 1100fps is crazy accurate, but faster rounds are not.
driving nails at 100 yards would make a great video. Think I'll try that with my Marlin model 60 and try it as well with my Umarex Origin PCP .22 rifle.
@Greg Artley At 25 yards any 22 rifle should group like that. I see you got your model 60 in 78 at age 18, I got mine in 79 at age 19 first gun I ever bought. have bought many since then. I started shooting at about 8 years of age with rifles first one I shot was my dads Remington 550-1 I did a lot of hunting with that gun wish I still had it but it was stolen from me. I still have the shot gun my father taught me to use the only reason it wasn't stolen is because at the time I had it completely disassembled to fit a new stock to replace the one that shattered duck hunting.
I always enjoy your honest videos! When I was a wee tad back in the early 70s my dad gave me my first gun, a bolt action single shot .22. I think it was a Remington but I'm not positive. Later in the 70s I aquired a Browning lever action .22. Once we were out shooting and my friend was shooting it and the action blew out the side. We were shooting stingers, a very hot .22 round back then. We sent the rifle back to Browning and they repaired it free of charge and sent it back, and said don't shoot stingers in it. A short time later my brother was shooting it with CCI Blazers, and the action blew out the side again! Again I sent it back to Browning and they fixed it and sent it back free of charge. As soon as I received it me and my dad went to the gun shop and traded it for a Ruger 10/22. I asked the guy behind the counter what kind of deal can we make? He said, we can't trade straight across, we have to make a profit. My dad said, how about $10? My dad said, SOLD!, threw the man a $10 and told me, get yer new gun and let's get outta here before they figure out who got screwed! My 10/22 has been the most trustworthy, and easy to dismantle and clean, rifle I've ever owned! I've never had a hangfire or any kind of problem with it no matter what kind of ammo I use, NEVER. It's still all factory, no fancy stock, scope, or anything else. It still shoots like a dream.
Once upon a time, I made an assumption that Aguila 60 grain sub-sonic ammo would maintain a nearly constant velocity over 100 yds and therefore it might shoot pretty decent groups. I calculated how much bullets would drop if my assumption were correct and they hit just where I thought they would. If you have access to that ammo, you might be pretty impressed by what it can do from your rifle.
.22LR as a round, regardless of manufacturer, like .30-30 Win, has a rainbow trajectory. When distance shooting, one should keep that in mind. Like Who Tee Who, I'm not an expert, just an ordinary guy.
There's one variable missing from your theory. The rifling twist rate on a stock .22 LR barrel is too slow to properly stabilize that long 60 gr. bullet. This one factor outweighs the rest of the variables combined. I'd love for you to have access to a barrel chambered for and with the right twist for that round, and a case of that ammo. I'd bet the results would be what you are looking for.
Darn fine shooting and an enjoyable video. You seem like a friendly guy and a good narrator. You've inspired me to hit the range with my Ruger MkII tomorrow. Thanks.
You can't get Marlin 60 in New Zealand..because of the 14 round tube magazine. these laws are coming to the US too IMO. we can't get Mini-14s in Canada now. or some 9mm semi carbines with 10 shot magazines. Welcome to the newly improved society.. We are supposed to feel safer..now.
As an aussie i actually dont miss semi autos (i am old enough to remember them), I can still punch out a few hundred 22 in an afternoon with my bolt action when plinking boards or targets.
DAMN THOSE RETARDED GUN LAWS!!!!!! Firearm-related death rate per 100,000 population per year: United States 2017 (Total: 12.21) (By Homicide = 4.46) (By Suicide = 7.32) (Amount of guns per 100 people =120.5) Australia 2019 (Total: 0.88) (By Homicide = 0.15) (By Suicide = 0.72) (Amount of guns per 100 people = 13.7 in 2016)
I purchased my first Ruger 10/22 back in the early 1980’s, using CCI stingers I was shooting metal thumbs tack size groups at 50 yards all day long! I actually shot that rifle so much that I wore out the trigger. Since then I have replaced the trigger, up graded the barrel and stock along with a new scope. Some day I will take it to the range and see what it can do.
I’ve been watching a lot of shooting videos lately as I’m new to the sport. I enjoy yours the most. You bring a lot of enthusiasm and fun to what you do. I also enjoy the topics you select. They are much more relevant than what many TH-cam shooting channels cover. Thanks for keeping it fun.
Nice free hand shooting. I've got a bolt action .22 from years ago that before covid would take out to the state rifle range and shoot a few times a year. They are fun and great for teaching shooting to kids. No kick, no loud noises, and simple to hit the target for success. I am impressed that you hit the targets at 100 yards and 120 yards. I only shoot 50 yards. Maybe if we get ammunition back in stock to buy I'll try the 100 yard shot at the range.
Love my 10/22! I use a Nikon scope with an upgraded trigger mechanism from Ruger and an extended magazine release. Great at 100 yards. I consider this rifle my SHTF gun with my Sig P320 compact 9mm.
I bought a 10/22 in timber camo from Cabela’s. Took it out for some plinking and set a target at 100 yards. Bone stock, first shot: 1/2” off bullseye with the iron sights. Not a Ruger fan for larger calibers but the 10/22 is for sure in the top 10 of most rifles ever made. Few hundred rounds since and only jams have been from shooting in below freezing temperatures but otherwise flawless
you provide a real organic shooting experience where we get to hang out with a down to earth guy providing real footage and it is unlike any other channel out there. The only similar one i know of is a guy by the name of dayattherange.
Every red blooded American needs at least one ruger 10/22. My uncles 1972 model probably has over a millions rounds through it. It’s mine now after he passed. It was the first gun I ever shot. I have a 2012 mossy oak camo take down with the threaded barrel, a 2014 50th anniversary mossy oak camo takedown in stainless and just bought the limited edition ruger vote red white and blue 10/22 back in October. And then I have a Henry I bought when I graduated. It’s sad to me that a lot of people look down on a 22, but for most of us, it’s what we learned to shoot. It’s usually what got us into the lifestyle we have today. Great video man.
My dad died when I was 5 and I later inherited his 10/22 that he bought in the early 60's. I have the same scope with the same mounts on it. You just got me motivated and excited to shoot it again. I was looking for the best target ammo for this gun and happy I found this video.
I love my 10-22. It’s actually my second one as the original was stolen from my parents house when I was I Vietnam. I never worry about taking varmint shots at 100 yards. The key is to practice as often as you can with ammo that you like and trust.
To date my 10/22 that I got 15 years ago as my first gun is my favorite bar none. It's got that nice full length mannlicher stock and I've never had a malfunction that couldn't be cleared by running the action. Fabulous piece of kit
That really looked like a lot of fun, plinking in the snow!! lol!! I have a 10-22 that I really love. I have an old .22 LR Bolt Action, Tube Fed rifle that my grandfather bought the year my dad was born... 1929!! That thing weighs a ton, but it is deadly accurate with open sights at 100 yards! You'd love to shoot that thing!!
I have a model 61 Winchester pump 22 with a Bushnell Sportview On a good day a quarter size group at 125 yards ( the 61 was built in 1947) oldie but goody
Thanks for a fun vid, partner. Plinking with a 22 is still one of my favorite ways to spend time! I have owned several 10/22s, and only one has actually shot poorly with every ammo I tried. Most of them are more than acceptable with common- but not bulk- ammo (like CCI Mini Mag), and VERY good with at least a couple of the more uniform loads (i.e. Eley or Federal match). A smooth, fairly light trigger makes a big difference on these feathery guns, and allows one to wring the best accuracy from them.
I made considerable use of a 10/22 topped with a 4x Weaver about 30 years ago. It was glass beded and would make a quarter sized group at 50 yards with 10 mini mags. It wasn't exactly match grade but it was a consistent shooter. I took jack rabbits out to about 125 yards and one very surprised prairie dog at about 200 yards. A 12 ounce pop can was no feat at 100. My primary ammo of choice was CCI. I kept 3 mags loaded with HP, solid, and Stinger. I covered all bases for a small game opportunity. I could have used that set up to have taken almost anything that walked crawled or slithered in my area back then. If it had been a shoot it or starve scenario I would have been fine with it.
I think I've seen other people ask for this already but I'll chime in too since I just got myself one in 2019: I'd like to see you do a group test at 100 with a Smith & Wesson M&P-15-22, and see how it stacks up against the Ruger.
I used to fire .22lr from my old lakefield at targets 400yards out with good results, even with big box federal as ammo. But I cleaned the rifle frequently after done it a initial time and its accuracy improve so dramatically. It hasn't been cleaned in all the years since it been bought with a cleaning kit along. The bore was so loaded that hitting a pop can was a feed. One thing I recall from the lakefield is - don't rest it on the barrel, only rest its stock, prefeable on something soft. Once I treated it like springer air rifle and cleaned its bore it grouped these .22 slugs for me, despite the 8-9lbs trigger pull. .22 are somewhat under estimated by folks, that lack the experience. I have seen deer taken with that lakefield, I shoot with it palm size groups at well over 400 yards.
Good morning Whoteewho. I liked your videos from the first one I watched and noticed that you proved that you don't need a $1500 scope to shoot a budget rifle accurately. I have a 30-year-old Marlin 60 with a Simmons Whitetail scope I bought at the same time at Walmart. I took it out several weeks ago and it was still zeroed in and shooting small groups while shooting free-handed. Simmons used to make a scope in their old Aetec line of scopes that I put on my Browning 22=250; back when Simmons introduced the first scope with an aspherical lens. It wasn't cheap for a budget scope but it wasn't expensive compared to any other brand name scope. A friend owns the rifle now and he said it's still a tac driver. The glass, the turrets, diopter, and parallax adjustment were of great quality and feel. What was most impressive was the large eye box and eye relief not to mention the clarity of the glass in any lighting condition. Simmons is now owned by Bushnell and they have an Aetec line but they are not the same as the original ones but still a good scope for a $130 scope. Appreciate the videos, great shooting for 22LR which is hard to shoot a good 5 round group unless you Match grade, Olympic grade ammo. God Bless.
Hello Who_Tee I broke down and bought a brake down 10/22 for the portability of riding motorcycles. Bought the 25 round mag’s and took the scope off a Walmart pellet rifle, it will shoot 1/4 inch groups on a non windy day all day. Have ran many different kinds of ammunition through it with not much problems. It doesn’t like hollow point ammo. Round nose and flat nose ammo works best in this Ruger!
I was always wondering why people even bother with 50 yard or meter accuracy. If shooter, gun and bullet compination can keep groups around (preferably inside) of inch at 100 yard or meters it will be more than plenty enought for half of that distance. Taking those rimfires for longer distance should not be a problem if compination is already working okay. Only real downside with 22lr will drop quite fast after 100 mark. If we are talking about hunting situation most likely you wont get next shot if you miss. Target animals usually dont have patience to wait when shots are coming closer :D
I love my 10/22 but it has to be clean and the higher the ammo quality the less messing around with jamming issues. Just saying this from LOTS of experience.
Awesome video. Ever since the price of ammo rocketed, I go out to the range a few days a week and only bring this exact rifle. Super fun and cheap to shoot.
My father gave me a Ruger 10/22 when I was about 10 years old. I'm now 38 years old and I just disassembled it and cleaned it for the first time ever today. Just reassembled it before I typed this. It's never jammed since I've owned it. Even before I cleaned it. This thing is a soldier. it's a 6 digit SN beginning with 174, which I believe makes it a 1968-1969 model.
Great gun! Mine is almost 40yo and still eating ammo like a champ! Using irons my whole life, just bought a scope and pic rail for it and as excited to get to work as I was when my Dad gave it to me at 12. My daughter learned to shoot with the same rifle.
I’ve got the 22wmr Savage 93 also. Great little rifle for the price. I can get a pretty decent group at 125 yds. Bought it to match up with my Ruger single six with both cylinders.
This Guy is the Best i know He's doing mostly Bolt Action and some Semiautomatic that's what I like, shooting Bolt Action is one of my Top favorites. But People are different. Wish You good luck and God bless. Thanks
"Can't use Stingers" in Target and Tactical 10/22's ,the stinger case is longer than the standard long rifle cartridge and these rifle chambers have a more tighter chamber.Will build up excessive pressure. Page 20 of the owners manual.
Hey brother the Ruger 10/22 lr has been outlawed in Australia since 1997 . Not too sure who the government was trying to protect from ,such a dangerous tool, perhaps they had plans for us down the track, say 2019. Guess we’ll find out soon. Those guns had a good reputation here in Australia as I’ve heard a lot of people commenting on how good they were. My mate had one years ago and he used CCI stingers with great results.... keep up the good work 👍🇦🇺🏁
I use a cz 455 varmint with the heavy barrel, i set me zero at 60yds with subsonic 42 grain hollow points and use some hotter stuff for a bit further, excellent little rabbit gun!
Heck yeah, I’ve had mine for thirty years and it’s still as accurate, if not better, than many big name brands, I’ve used it for everything. Can shoot ten in a nickel at thirty two yards off the picnic table. It’s easy to put em all in a snuff can lid at one hundred. We are now shooting at three hundred yards on an eight inch steel plate just to hear it hit.
I don’t know if y’all are familiar with the Glenfield model 60. The Glenfield I’m running has an actual 22 inch barrel it’s tube fed and holds 19 in the tube and 1 in the chamber, for a total of 20 ready to send down range. I’ve chosen a Leopold VX-Freedom 3-9X40 scope. This rifle has been in our family since around 1962ish. I cannot say in earnest if this Glenfield model 60’s 20 inch barrel in comparison to the Ruger’s 10/22 18 inch barrel is why it shoots tight groupings past 200 yards. I have always taken great care and pride in keeping it clean, stored properly and never miss used it. As a recent I’ve been itching to purchase a Ruger 10/22 and get a bull pup conversion kit. When I acquired my 45-70 on the AR platform by Phoenix Weaponry in 2018, my second favorite firearm ever, the cost of pressing my own ammunition is costly. Very worth it, but costly. Like I said previously I would like some feedback from anyone who has a 10/22 in a bull pup. Pro’s and con’s. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from some of you brothers out there. Stay safe and watch your 6 in these unsettling times we’re living in 🇺🇸🔱🔰⚡️
Dude, this channel is hands down the best. You are a regular dude. And that's why I love this channel so much. You are not fake! You are the Man! Your videos are awesome! WTW!
Would be cool the see the different points of impact different brands of ammo give you. I have 2 identical 10/22's that don't like the same ammo an s always forget who likes what. I have to put a piece of tape on one one day ☺
I found the CCI stingers have worked best for me. I've never had a failed ejection using them. I use the federal big box o 550 rounds when I'm just plinking, and they fail to eject all the time.
Marlin .22 is the first rifle I bought for my kids to shoot. They starting shooting at age 7. 15 years later I'm the only one shooting it now. I love that rifle, it is fun and cheap to shoot.
I used to have one back in 79, had to throw it out the window while being chased by the popo for road huntin at 2 in the morning, lol never did find it. Oh. and I didn't get in trouble either, I had no gun on me lol. 👍😎 True Story!
Why do people underestimate the 22 Long Rifle? I knew it was going to reach out to 100 yards and from the ballistic tests I've seen most will go about 12 inches into ballistic gelatin. Yes it will kill you. Not a toy at all but probably the most dangerous caliber because people are misguided about its capabilities.
@@NLINE7 yep it bounces and tumbles inside of you and the all lead hollow points with break apart into small fragments that isn't something you definitely don't want happening if you get hit with it.
My around 1993 stainless 10/22 with look thru rings and a simmons silver 4X and flip up covers on a folding stock used to be my favorite gun. But ammo prices sent me into AirGuns and that was a good thing.
I had a ruger 10/22 when I was a kid. Unfortunately I don't have that gun anymore. I've tried to replace it with 5 or 6 different brand new ruger 10/22s, and every 1 I've had since has been a "Jam o Matic".
I have spent many many an afternoon shooting almost an identical set-up. Variable reticle 3 x 12 Redfield scope, stainless barrel, trigger job, mag release. And yes discounting the flyers a one inch group is repeatable at 100 Yds with good ammo, a clean gun and NO wind. Add a 5 mph quartering headwind and those groups open up significantly. Any wind at all destroys groups as does when the bullet falls subsonic and destabilizes. Nice shooting though and an excellent day for it.

Easy to do with decent scope or great iron sights. I've killed rabbits at 110+ yards and coyotes
I really like my 10/22, I spent many a weekend in the woods with my old single shot .22 getting squirrel’s, rabbits and frogs at the old pond, this was in the late 50’s and early 60’s. I wouldn’t trade those days for anything…. My next rifle was a government military issued M-16 in 1969👍

I like the 10/22 carbine so well that I own two of them. One the standard carbine in stainless, ( for hunting and plinking with iron sights) plus one the standard carbine, (blued ) dressed in an aftermarket AR style stock, topped with a red dot.

I just dropped $260 for ome
I spent most of my childhood, during the 50's and 60's in the north-west of Western Australia and, by far, the most common rifle I saw back then was the humble old .22. A lot of the bright young things of today would scoff at me whenever I told them of seeing people bring down a 6 feet tall, 180 pound Western Red kangaroo with a .22.
In a lot of cases it was done purely out of the necessity to be a bloody good shot, because a lot of people augmented their income by shooting 'roos for the bounty that was on them back then. Added to that was the fact that the most common large calibre rifles available were old ex-army Lee-Enfield .303's and even back then, .303 ammunition was pretty expensive. So, the little Aussie battler, out there in the bush, had to make do with whatever was at hand, which also meant shooting over iron sights, mostly at night, with a spotlight!
Far too many people are far too eager to dismiss a .22 as inadequate for certain types of game and I have and always will, dispute that notion. In the right hands, a .22 will get the job done.
I lived in South Australia, spent six days in Flinders Ranges with basic rations basically lived off the land. Filtered water, shot rabbits with the 22, got some , caught snakes and fish. Great solid experience.
Its all about shot placement. I have seen coyotes dropped win a 177 springer and hog taken with a 30cal air rifle
This is one caliber that most people have enjoyed for many years. Thanks WTW. Gods speed to ya and your family 👍🇺🇸
Hey Joel
I have a Lakefield Moosberg 22mag with a 1.5×4 Bushnell scope and can shoot a dime at 100yrds.
@@bigbearm8521 I don't trust .22LR ammo for hunting anymore. I now use .22 MAGNUM rimfire ammo because it is much more powerful in gun barrels over 5" inches in length !
It's a much better survival caliber than the .17 rimfire caliber also.
*God, as there only is one true God.
Awesome shooting brother! Every gun owner in USA should own a 22LR rifle, they're useful for a lot of different situations. Keep up with the videos.
Every gun owner in the world should own a .22, UK I have two bolt and a semi auto in .22, more fun than my .308's..
I had a stock ruger 10/22 once. Then I built a custom ruger 10/22 and beefed up the internals in my factory 10/22. Both were deadly accurate at 100
Of course! Since it is deadly accurate at 400 yards!!
How accurate is "deadly" accurate?
With all of the guns that I own, I still find that plinking with the .22LR is some of the most fun that I have on the range. Being an old fart now, it takes me back to my childhood. Thanks for the video!
Anybody that shoots 22's and not having fun is doing it all wrong... W_T_W
Very true
That’s a fact 😁
.22lr is about all you can shoot now and not have to accept food stamps. But I can plink with iron sights on my .22lr all day long and no get bored.
💯
Agreed, I shoot .22 3/4 Times per week, only shoot .308 once or sometimes every two weeks, .22 are just plain fun guns to shoot or plink
The Ruger 10/22 is still my most favorite rifle of all time! I have won many turkey shoots at my local gun club with open sights! Just got a scope for mine, and waiting for it to warm up a little more here in Ohio before I try it out!
Great video! 👍👍
I love my ruger 10/22....and I almost never shoot under 100 yds unless im sighting in a new scope. Rimfire or centerfire. Or when I would take my sons to the range....we would have contest at 25-50-75 and 100 yds. But hell as long as you are out shooting....shoot whatever and as far as you want.
Another great video! You said it, you are just a regular dude like most of us. Thats why you are my number 1 TH-cam gun channel! Probably even my number 1 TH-cam channel in general. My girls even love watching your videos with me. My girls even love watching your videos with me.
Really appreciate you guys watching Brad. Hope you guys are having a good week
I feel the same way.Heavy Metal Paul is my other favorite.
I think after 6 years you need to clean that gun and magazine
I agree
10 years is fine too.
Or just a little lube
I haven't cleaned it in 6 years. Proceeds to have multiple failures in 30 shots. Might be time to clean her.
What about the ammo quality ??? 🤔
My 10/22 is great in terms of reliability, accessories, parts availability, and serviceability. I bought the 50th anniversary (2014) with a Stainless Steel barrel and composite stock. It temperamental. Somedays it's a tack driver, and other days, I'm happy to get 4-6 MOA.
Try cci velocitor. 22 requires no wind at 100 yrds.
@@Yorktown-pb8bd Yep - my 10/22 can put one after another through the same hole at 30 yards with CCI. With Winchester white box they are all over the place, sometimes as much as 6 inches low and up to 1 inch left. CCI is all I'll buy until proven otherwise.
@@TjM2076 Thanks. I bought the FAT (firearm accurizing tool) for that purpose. I need to be consistent with my ammo choices, because it changes when I switch. 1100fps is crazy accurate, but faster rounds are not.
Tighten the stock screw. You'll be surprised how much accuracy you can get out of that 1 screw no bs. Try it
I have a Nikon something or other on the Marlin. You can drive nails with that thing. At 100 yards.
driving nails at 100 yards would make a great video. Think I'll try that with my Marlin model 60 and try it as well with my Umarex Origin PCP .22 rifle.
@Greg Artley At 25 yards any 22 rifle should group like that. I see you got your model 60 in 78 at age 18, I got mine in 79 at age 19 first gun I ever bought. have bought many since then. I started shooting at about 8 years of age with rifles first one I shot was my dads Remington 550-1 I did a lot of hunting with that gun wish I still had it but it was stolen from me. I still have the shot gun my father taught me to use the only reason it wasn't stolen is because at the time I had it completely disassembled to fit a new stock to replace the one that shattered duck hunting.
I always enjoy your honest videos! When I was a wee tad back in the early 70s my dad gave me my first gun, a bolt action single shot .22. I think it was a Remington but I'm not positive. Later in the 70s I aquired a Browning lever action .22. Once we were out shooting and my friend was shooting it and the action blew out the side. We were shooting stingers, a very hot .22 round back then. We sent the rifle back to Browning and they repaired it free of charge and sent it back, and said don't shoot stingers in it. A short time later my brother was shooting it with CCI Blazers, and the action blew out the side again! Again I sent it back to Browning and they fixed it and sent it back free of charge. As soon as I received it me and my dad went to the gun shop and traded it for a Ruger 10/22. I asked the guy behind the counter what kind of deal can we make? He said, we can't trade straight across, we have to make a profit. My dad said, how about $10? My dad said, SOLD!, threw the man a $10 and told me, get yer new gun and let's get outta here before they figure out who got screwed! My 10/22 has been the most trustworthy, and easy to dismantle and clean, rifle I've ever owned! I've never had a hangfire or any kind of problem with it no matter what kind of ammo I use, NEVER. It's still all factory, no fancy stock, scope, or anything else. It still shoots like a dream.
Once upon a time, I made an assumption that Aguila 60 grain sub-sonic ammo would maintain a nearly constant velocity over 100 yds and therefore it might shoot pretty decent groups. I calculated how much bullets would drop if my assumption were correct and they hit just where I thought they would. If you have access to that ammo, you might be pretty impressed by what it can do from your rifle.
I’ve heard subs are more accurate
@@tylertrotter2141 The 60 gr. load is subsonic. I use them all of the time!
.22LR as a round, regardless of manufacturer, like .30-30 Win, has a rainbow trajectory. When distance shooting, one should keep that in mind. Like Who Tee Who, I'm not an expert, just an ordinary guy.
There's one variable missing from your theory. The rifling twist rate on a stock .22 LR barrel is too slow to properly stabilize that long 60 gr. bullet. This one factor outweighs the rest of the variables combined. I'd love for you to have access to a barrel chambered for and with the right twist for that round, and a case of that ammo. I'd bet the results would be what you are looking for.
Aguila 38 gr. hollow point subsonic rounds work better out of my 10/22, probably has something to do with the twist rate of the barrel.
Darn fine shooting and an enjoyable video. You seem like a friendly guy and a good narrator. You've inspired me to hit the range with my Ruger MkII tomorrow. Thanks.
6 years...might need to clean that this summer sometime. 😎
Unfortunately the overwhelming majority us gun owners in Australia can't have a 10/22 due to our retarded gun laws.
God Bless America! 🇺🇸
You can't get Marlin 60 in New Zealand..because of the 14 round tube magazine. these laws are coming to the US too IMO. we can't get Mini-14s in Canada now. or some 9mm semi carbines with 10 shot magazines. Welcome to the newly improved society.. We are supposed to feel safer..now.
As an aussie i actually dont miss semi autos (i am old enough to remember them), I can still punch out a few hundred 22 in an afternoon with my bolt action when plinking boards or targets.
@@bestestusername Good for you.. Most of us /99%/ would still love to own a fully auto..never mind just a lowly semi.
DAMN THOSE RETARDED GUN LAWS!!!!!!
Firearm-related death rate per 100,000 population per year:
United States 2017 (Total: 12.21) (By Homicide = 4.46) (By Suicide = 7.32) (Amount of guns per 100 people =120.5)
Australia 2019 (Total: 0.88) (By Homicide = 0.15) (By Suicide = 0.72) (Amount of guns per 100 people = 13.7 in 2016)
I purchased my first Ruger 10/22 back in the early 1980’s, using CCI stingers I was shooting metal thumbs tack size groups at 50 yards all day long! I actually shot that rifle so much that I wore out the trigger. Since then I have replaced the trigger, up graded the barrel and stock along with a new scope. Some day I will take it to the range and see what it can do.
You wore a hole in the trigger?
I’ve been watching a lot of shooting videos lately as I’m new to the sport. I enjoy yours the most. You bring a lot of enthusiasm and fun to what you do. I also enjoy the topics you select. They are much more relevant than what many TH-cam shooting channels cover. Thanks for keeping it fun.
Appreciate you watching Greg!
Nice free hand shooting. I've got a bolt action .22 from years ago that before covid would take out to the state rifle range and shoot a few times a year. They are fun and great for teaching shooting to kids. No kick, no loud noises, and simple to hit the target for success.
I am impressed that you hit the targets at 100 yards and 120 yards. I only shoot 50 yards. Maybe if we get ammunition back in stock to buy I'll try the 100 yard shot at the range.
Love my 10/22! I use a Nikon scope with an upgraded trigger mechanism from Ruger and an extended magazine release. Great at 100 yards. I consider this rifle my SHTF gun with my Sig P320 compact 9mm.
Been shooting 22's for over 60 years, I always sighted mine in at a 100 yards, never had any problems, and a lot of small game on the table
Do you have any problems with semi autos recycling? I have found they jam a lot. Never had a Ruger 10/22.
I bought a 10/22 in timber camo from Cabela’s. Took it out for some plinking and set a target at 100 yards. Bone stock, first shot: 1/2” off bullseye with the iron sights. Not a Ruger fan for larger calibers but the 10/22 is for sure in the top 10 of most rifles ever made. Few hundred rounds since and only jams have been from shooting in below freezing temperatures but otherwise flawless
try the same with a good old Remington Target Master.
sure its a "lowly" single shot bolt action toy,
but that LONG barrel makes a big difference.
you provide a real organic shooting experience where we get to hang out with a down to earth guy providing real footage and it is unlike any other channel out there. The only similar one i know of is a guy by the name of dayattherange.
Thanks Alex. Really appreciate you watching
I've had good accuracy with the Norma TAC as well.
Love the content.
Every red blooded American needs at least one ruger 10/22. My uncles 1972 model probably has over a millions rounds through it. It’s mine now after he passed. It was the first gun I ever shot. I have a 2012 mossy oak camo take down with the threaded barrel, a 2014 50th anniversary mossy oak camo takedown in stainless and just bought the limited edition ruger vote red white and blue 10/22 back in October. And then I have a Henry I bought when I graduated.
It’s sad to me that a lot of people look down on a 22, but for most of us, it’s what we learned to shoot. It’s usually what got us into the lifestyle we have today. Great video man.
I never thought I’d love a .22 but the 10/22 and p22/sr22 are my favorite now.
My dad died when I was 5 and I later inherited his 10/22 that he bought in the early 60's. I have the same scope with the same mounts on it. You just got me motivated and excited to shoot it again. I was looking for the best target ammo for this gun and happy I found this video.
I love my 10-22. It’s actually my second one as the original was stolen from my parents house when I was I Vietnam. I never worry about taking varmint shots at 100 yards. The key is to practice as often as you can with ammo that you like and trust.
To date my 10/22 that I got 15 years ago as my first gun is my favorite bar none. It's got that nice full length mannlicher stock and I've never had a malfunction that couldn't be cleared by running the action. Fabulous piece of kit
That really looked like a lot of fun, plinking in the snow!! lol!! I have a 10-22 that I really love. I have an old .22 LR Bolt Action, Tube Fed rifle that my grandfather bought the year my dad was born... 1929!! That thing weighs a ton, but it is deadly accurate with open sights at 100 yards! You'd love to shoot that thing!!
Awesome. I need to bring out some old ones
I have a model 61 Winchester pump 22 with a Bushnell Sportview On a good day a quarter size group at 125 yards ( the 61 was built in 1947) oldie but goody
@@Jeanie363034 Cool! Us oldie-but-goody's are hard to beat... lol!!
That's great shooting.
Got my first Ruger 1022 for $42 in 1971 in Sacramento CA. Best fun I ever had.
Very well done! Now that ammo prices are high and centerfire ammo expensive, 22 LR makes a lot of sense.
.22 plinking takes me back to my childhood. Always fun. Going to buy one today, this got me pumped up for it.
just don't be upset when you buy that box of .22lr and it is $.18/round lol. But when 9mm goes for $.70/round that is still a bargain.
3:30 spot on it’s insane God bless
Thanks for a fun vid, partner. Plinking with a 22 is still one of my favorite ways to spend time! I have owned several 10/22s, and only one has actually shot poorly with every ammo I tried. Most of them are more than acceptable with common- but not bulk- ammo (like CCI Mini Mag), and VERY good with at least a couple of the more uniform loads (i.e. Eley or Federal match). A smooth, fairly light trigger makes a big difference on these feathery guns, and allows one to wring the best accuracy from them.
Got one and its a nail driver. love em.
I made considerable use of a 10/22 topped with a 4x Weaver about 30 years ago. It was glass beded and would make a quarter sized group at 50 yards with 10 mini mags. It wasn't exactly match grade but it was a consistent shooter. I took jack rabbits out to about 125 yards and one very surprised prairie dog at about 200 yards. A 12 ounce pop can was no feat at 100. My primary ammo of choice was CCI. I kept 3 mags loaded with HP, solid, and Stinger. I covered all bases for a small game opportunity. I could have used that set up to have taken almost anything that walked crawled or slithered in my area back then. If it had been a shoot it or starve scenario I would have been fine with it.
WTW: I might not even hit the paper with irons, but I’ll give ‘er a try.
WTW: (hits bullseye on the first shot with irons)
Get lucky sometimes
It’s always fun shooting 22’ s, it’s so easy on the pocketbook.
I think I've seen other people ask for this already but I'll chime in too since I just got myself one in 2019: I'd like to see you do a group test at 100 with a Smith & Wesson M&P-15-22, and see how it stacks up against the Ruger.
I used to fire .22lr from my old lakefield at targets 400yards out with good results, even with big box federal as ammo. But I cleaned the rifle frequently after done it a initial time and its accuracy improve so dramatically. It hasn't been cleaned in all the years since it been bought with a cleaning kit along. The bore was so loaded that hitting a pop can was a feed.
One thing I recall from the lakefield is - don't rest it on the barrel, only rest its stock, prefeable on something soft. Once I treated it like springer air rifle and cleaned its bore it grouped these .22 slugs for me, despite the 8-9lbs trigger pull.
.22 are somewhat under estimated by folks, that lack the experience. I have seen deer taken with that lakefield, I shoot with it palm size groups at well over 400 yards.
I shoot a stevens 300 in 22lr at 100 yards all the time with federal bulk pack ammo. Makes a hockey puck look like a pit bull had it as a chew toy
Good morning Whoteewho. I liked your videos from the first one I watched and noticed that you proved that you don't need a $1500 scope to shoot a budget rifle accurately. I have a 30-year-old Marlin 60 with a Simmons Whitetail scope I bought at the same time at Walmart. I took it out several weeks ago and it was still zeroed in and shooting small groups while shooting free-handed. Simmons used to make a scope in their old Aetec line of scopes that I put on my Browning 22=250; back when Simmons introduced the first scope with an aspherical lens. It wasn't cheap for a budget scope but it wasn't expensive compared to any other brand name scope. A friend owns the rifle now and he said it's still a tac driver. The glass, the turrets, diopter, and parallax adjustment were of great quality and feel. What was most impressive was the large eye box and eye relief not to mention the clarity of the glass in any lighting condition. Simmons is now owned by Bushnell and they have an Aetec line but they are not the same as the original ones but still a good scope for a $130 scope. Appreciate the videos, great shooting for 22LR which is hard to shoot a good 5 round group unless you Match grade, Olympic grade ammo. God Bless.
Coolest dude on TH-cam, always replies, relatable and entertaining
Thanks Nolan! Appreciate you watching!
8:00 you sounded like king of hill man
Just a great little round altogether!
Hello Who_Tee
I broke down and bought a brake down 10/22 for the portability of riding motorcycles. Bought the 25 round mag’s and took the scope off a Walmart pellet rifle, it will shoot 1/4 inch groups on a non windy day all day. Have ran many different kinds of ammunition through it with not much problems. It doesn’t like hollow point ammo. Round nose and flat nose ammo works best in this Ruger!
I was always wondering why people even bother with 50 yard or meter accuracy.
If shooter, gun and bullet compination can keep groups around (preferably inside) of inch at 100 yard or meters it will be more than
plenty enought for half of that distance. Taking those rimfires for longer distance should not be a problem if compination
is already working okay.
Only real downside with 22lr will drop quite fast after 100 mark. If we are talking about hunting
situation most likely you wont get next shot if you miss. Target animals usually dont have patience to wait
when shots are coming closer :D
Nice shooting buddy. Love some plinking. Keep em coming. WHO-TEE-WHO
I love my 10/22 but it has to be clean and the higher the ammo quality the less messing around with jamming issues. Just saying this from LOTS of experience.
Awesome video. Ever since the price of ammo rocketed, I go out to the range a few days a week and only bring this exact rifle. Super fun and cheap to shoot.
22 only good for 50 yards hmm I don't think so, never underestimate the old 22, ammo is cheap and great way to get started in shooting
My father gave me a Ruger 10/22 when I was about 10 years old. I'm now 38 years old and I just disassembled it and cleaned it for the first time ever today. Just reassembled it before I typed this. It's never jammed since I've owned it. Even before I cleaned it. This thing is a soldier. it's a 6 digit SN beginning with 174, which I believe makes it a 1968-1969 model.
that is the reason that me and everyone watch's your a working man with working man guns and ammo
Appreciate you watching Will
Great gun! Mine is almost 40yo and still eating ammo like a champ! Using irons my whole life, just bought a scope and pic rail for it and as excited to get to work as I was when my Dad gave it to me at 12. My daughter learned to shoot with the same rifle.
Nice job. 22lr is truly an under estimated round
I’ve got the 22wmr Savage 93 also. Great little rifle for the price. I can get a pretty decent group at 125 yds. Bought it to match up with my Ruger single six with both cylinders.
I got me a Marlin model 60 she's a beast
Just picked up a well used model 60 from 1978 for $75. Why not
My Marlin would group 5 rounds in a dime at 100 yards, the 10/22 a quarter. Both were scooped. This was 40 years ago.
Well soon you can buy a Marlin made by Ruger, let the debates begin!

Great shooting, Adam. You’ve made me want a 10/22. I’m struggling to decide, but I think I want the takedown model.
That would be cool
"Can't use Stingers" in Target and Tactical 10/22's ,the stinger case is longer than the standard long rifle cartridge and these rifle chambers have a more tighter chamber.Will build up excessive pressure. Page 20 of the owners manual.
You’re awesome man! Your channel is kickin butt
Looks like you are resting the barrel in the front rest. That might negativity affect barrel vibration.
Hey brother the Ruger 10/22 lr has been outlawed in Australia since 1997 . Not too sure who the government was trying to protect from ,such a dangerous tool, perhaps they had plans for us down the track, say 2019. Guess we’ll find out soon. Those guns had a good reputation here in Australia as I’ve heard a lot of people commenting on how good they were. My mate had one years ago and he used CCI stingers with great results.... keep up the good work 👍🇦🇺🏁
Hey, I've got one of those. I just have a little 4 power scope on mine, though. I can't even remember the make, but I got it for $100 at Cabelas.
What year was that? Early 80's
The scope was $100, not the gun. I got the gun like 10-12 years ago. I think around $250.
That 10/22 is a great, accurate, and fun rifle. Awesome video.
“Liked” for keeping it real....March on.
I use a cz 455 varmint with the heavy barrel, i set me zero at 60yds with subsonic 42 grain hollow points and use some hotter stuff for a bit further, excellent little rabbit gun!
I need a valquartz wing wang to complete my collection..😂.. thanks for another great Vid WtW
I run cci standard velocity in my 10/22 and it groups amazing with a fail to eject every once in awhile but I’m happy with it 👍
Don’t know why everyone thinks you can’t shoot long with a 22lh when it’s knowing your gun and wear to aim at!!! Have a great day!!
Heck yeah, I’ve had mine for thirty years and it’s still as accurate, if not better, than many big name brands, I’ve used it for everything. Can shoot ten in a nickel at thirty two yards off the picnic table. It’s easy to put em all in a snuff can lid at one hundred. We are now shooting at three hundred yards on an eight inch steel plate just to hear it hit.
😂😂 "volquartsen wing wang"
I spat a mouthful of coffee out when I heard you say that.
Man your hilarious! And honest! Bless you.
🤣🤣🤣 thanks for watching Steven!
I don’t know if y’all are familiar with the Glenfield model 60. The Glenfield I’m running has an actual 22 inch barrel it’s tube fed and holds 19 in the tube and 1 in the chamber, for a total of 20 ready to send down range. I’ve chosen a Leopold VX-Freedom 3-9X40 scope. This rifle has been in our family since around 1962ish. I cannot say in earnest if this Glenfield model 60’s 20 inch barrel in comparison to the Ruger’s 10/22 18 inch barrel is why it shoots tight groupings past 200 yards. I have always taken great care and pride in keeping it clean, stored properly and never miss used it. As a recent I’ve been itching to purchase a Ruger 10/22 and get a bull pup conversion kit. When I acquired my 45-70 on the AR platform by Phoenix Weaponry in 2018, my second favorite firearm ever, the cost of pressing my own ammunition is costly. Very worth it, but costly. Like I said previously I would like some feedback from anyone who has a 10/22 in a bull pup. Pro’s and con’s. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from some of you brothers out there. Stay safe and watch your 6 in these unsettling times we’re living in 🇺🇸🔱🔰⚡️
Excellent shots.. never underestimate a .22 lr
Dude, this channel is hands down the best. You are a regular dude. And that's why I love this channel so much. You are not fake! You are the Man! Your videos are awesome! WTW!
Thanks Mr T! Appreciate you watching!!!
Would be cool the see the different points of impact different brands of ammo give you. I have 2 identical 10/22's that don't like the same ammo an s always forget who likes what. I have to put a piece of tape on one one day ☺
Sounds like one has a better chamber. Twist rates arent even an idea here. Check the bedding screws also.
I found the CCI stingers have worked best for me. I've never had a failed ejection using them. I use the federal big box o 550 rounds when I'm just plinking, and they fail to eject all the time.
The 10/22 is really fun. Nice shooting!
Brang your 22 I’ll break out my Marlin model 60 out and we’ll fling some lead maybe make a video I’ve got a range finder to
Marlin .22 is the first rifle I bought for my kids to shoot. They starting shooting at age 7. 15 years later I'm the only one shooting it now. I love that rifle, it is fun and cheap to shoot.
I used to have one back in 79, had to throw it out the window while being chased by the popo for road huntin at 2 in the morning, lol never did find it. Oh. and
I didn't get in trouble either, I had no gun on me lol. 👍😎 True Story!
🤣🤣🤣👍👍

Nothing that someone who shoots them didn't already know. Great training round for beginners and just fun to shoot.
Why do people underestimate the 22 Long Rifle? I knew it was going to reach out to 100 yards and from the ballistic tests I've seen most will go about 12 inches into ballistic gelatin.
Yes it will kill you. Not a toy at all but probably the most dangerous caliber because people are misguided about its capabilities.
I've heard the term made years ago that the .22 caliber hollow point bullet is the surgeons nightmare.
@@NLINE7 yep it bounces and tumbles inside of you and the all lead hollow points with break apart into small fragments that isn't something you definitely don't want happening if you get hit with it.
Great video. Just starting and got a Ruger 10/22 coming this week. Looking forward to havin some fun
That 3rd shot hit exactly where the first one did. That’s amazing!
NC citizen here and I love your videos.
My around 1993 stainless 10/22 with look thru rings and a simmons silver 4X and flip up covers on a folding stock used to be my favorite gun. But ammo prices sent me into AirGuns and that was a good thing.
I had a ruger 10/22 when I was a kid. Unfortunately I don't have that gun anymore. I've tried to replace it with 5 or 6 different brand new ruger 10/22s, and every 1 I've had since has been a "Jam o Matic".
Daggumit.
Always been a 22lr fan and very accurate iron sights is how I was taught
Lookin' thru a scope is like watchin' a movie, it's a higher dimension of fun!
and it really shows you how much your actually movin' the gun around.
Ruger 10/22 "International" 100 yards 5 shot group, Agular , 1.46 inch group. Bushnell 3x9x40.

Thanks for watching Dennis!
Thanks for giving me the inspiration to achieve the 100yd + goal. I'm anxious to get started and look forward to all the fun ahead. Thank you Sir.
I have spent many many an afternoon shooting almost an identical set-up. Variable reticle 3 x 12 Redfield scope, stainless barrel, trigger job, mag release. And yes discounting the flyers a one inch group is repeatable at 100 Yds with good ammo, a clean gun and NO wind. Add a 5 mph quartering headwind and those groups open up significantly. Any wind at all destroys groups as does when the bullet falls subsonic and destabilizes. Nice shooting though and an excellent day for it.
