Shooting rifles is rather fun. I can strike a target at 100 yards with a 4" grouping when using a Remington M700 .223 caliber rifle. I've been able to hit a target at two hundred yards also, but with approximately an 8 to 10 inch grouping using the same rifle and caliber. With a .22 I was able to repeatedly hit a small water bottle at 100 yards. Anyone else into firearms and marksmanship?
Yep.
Plinking ( or target) shooting is fun. I live in an unincorporated area and I've shot a 357 mag in the back yard. Our neighbors shoot squirrels with a 22 because they trash their bird feeders, but generally I kept a low profile with this because I'd bet it'd draw complaints .....(Its concussion vibrates your shirt, as an example.)
What I have fun with is plinking with 2 pellet rifles and one is a 22 cal. high tech gun. This one groups a few inches @ 60 yards and will punch through a 2x4 at this range, as an example. Its max range is 100 yards. The other is a 25 caliber and is deadly on varmits.
For the record the biggest rifle I personally shot is a 30-06, and I've hunted and shot skeet with a variety of shotguns.
Web picture of my 22 pellet rifle. I don't have the laser sight under the scope ( as in picture).
