Been looking for something to have a little fun with in the non-restricted category up here. My restricted permit has been approved but not yet received and more will be added later. Yesterday I picked up a model 8401 Ruger Precision Rimfire bolt action chambered in 22LR and a Vortex Crossfire 2 red dot sight. Never used a red dot sight before. Man is it awesome. Yesterday was too damn cold to sight it in so I reluctantly waited until today. I got it roughed in at almost 50 yards which was the best I could do in my back yard. It repeatedly put rounds thru a golfball sized hole at that range. Yeah I know no big deal but longer shots will come in the following weeks after I join the local range. I have heard nothing but good reports about this rifle and decided to see if they were honest. I was surprised at the weight of it but looking at the HEAVY barrel I can see why. Now to get that range application sent in and start plinking away at some much longer shots.
