If you're not set on a 10-22, another option is the S&W M&P 15-22. It should be easily adaptable to as many "evil features" as our ever so enlightened state permits.

Unfortunately, my club is mandating LRN ammo for plate shooting so I am stuck with standard velocity CCI which I have a bunch of. I would just use my current bulls eye gun but they will penalize 1 plate for a red dot. Not to mention that I want the practice using open sites. Is the club mandating L...
I've used both standard velocity and high velocity (nothing more powerful than CCI Mini-Mags per club rules), and it may be my imagination, but the hv seems to knock down the plates with more authority than the sv. Unless you feel you must use sv, why not try some hv stuff- Blazer or Walmart Federal...
I shoot plates at Silver City mostly with a Browning Buckmark, sometimes a CZ75B Kadet conversion. I'd say most of the shooters have Ruger MKs or 22/45s, and Buckmarks, with a smattering of High Standards, S&W 41s and 22As, an occasional Sig Trailside, Beretta Neos, and most anything else you ca...
I think Blue Trail Range in Wallingford has programs for kids. I don't really know anything about them or what their focus is but I suspect it's bench rest marksmanship rather than action type shooting.
That's the newer heavy barrel version, right? Has the Accu-Strut made any difference in accuracy? For that matter, how accurate is the barrel in its natural pre-strut state? I know these aren't bench rest rifles, but I'm curious about the level of accuracy in the newer models.
You have a PM.
You can always send it off to Briley to have screw-in chokes installed. A little extra cost but a lot of extra versatility if you decide you want to really use the gun for all around purposes. In any event, enjoy your new gun if you decide to pick it up. The first gun I ever bought for myself was a ...
One other thing- how long are the barrels? Forty years ago, 26" O/U barrels were common, then 28" became the standard, now 30" and even 32" barrels are the norm. Not saying you can't shoot skeet with 26" gun, but it will be much more difficult to sell if you decide to get ri...
Skeet is the most open choke, next to Cylinder which is no choke (or constriction) at all. In order, from most open to tightest, it goes Cylinder, Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full. Guns which are choked skeet are typically considered to be limited to fairly short range sho...
I don't know about metallic stuff, but shotshells can be affected by the cold. It depends on a number of factors- some primers are hotter than others, to achieve better powder ignition. Some powders are less temperature sensitive- E3 is reputed to be good in this regard. The plastic in some wads, es...
Any chance of a range report? I would be interested to hear how it shoots.
I saw 2 today, but neither was the Allied Forces model- both had the silver slide. Hoffmans @ $200, Newington Gun Exchange @ $190.
You're not the first guy to have this problem. Have you checked the Mk III section at http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/index.php ? There is a lot of expertise over there. Don't give up just yet- good luck!
