Every time I see one of these the 16 year old idiot in the back of my head goes "how hot can we load this one"

Not really, I struggle with picking a favorite.

I've had the good fortune of shooting with some high level competitive shooters, the more you ingrain the basics as reflexive the better you can focus on other details.

I think you'll love the Match Pro I have it's predecessor Bushnell Elite SFP 6-24 and both a SH4 6-24 and EP5 5-25. The glass is pretty close with a slight edge to Bushnell, the biggest advantages the Arkens have is the turrets are very positive and they have more elevation adjustment.

I liked mine OK, I had one like Sparky's in 3rd post. Ultimately it just didn't do "it" for me I have other SAs and other 22s that I like better so It ended up sold.

Man that would be a sweet gun. For myself i find a single shot rifle cathartic.

Meh when the minis were 2-300 and the ARs were 1000 minis had a draw for the economy. Likewise the X39 doesn't have the economic advantage it once did. I have moved on from both. Not that either is a poor choice, but there's a plethora of good choices today. I had a mini 30 when they first came...

For me I'd be more tempted by a Ruger American ranch.

One man's trash is another man's treasure lol. The drop is the thing I hated about my golden boy and the reason I sold it and got the frontier model. One of my favorite do everything 22s is my Savage Mk2 with a Boyd's stock, a Bushnell Elite 3-12x scope and it has a Tacsol Aeris suppressor

While nowhere as easy as just racking the slide, I've never needed more than a finger nail to get the shell out.

That's pretty much me too, a lot of times I'll just put 5 in my high capacity autos if I'm just shooting for group sizi.

He had a squib that stuck a projectile where the bulge is. It happens more than one might think. It may affect accuracy but shouldn't cause any feeding issues. My guess without more details is either a bad extractor or the CCI mini mags are too hot for the SA.

You're playing a game of diminishing returns, ultimately you're the one that needs to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. Even from a 16" barrel a cartridge capable of holding 80gr of powder will have more velocity than one that's only capable of 50gr. But it will be far diminished from...

Ordered all the stuff to convert my 9mm AR to CMMG's radial delayed system.

Man that scope is up there gonna be tough to get a decent cheek weld.
