Hi neighbor! I picked up a new one this spring for the grandaughter. First time out, sighting it in became an, "ohhh yeah, this is a Keeper" moment! Shooting at a beer can on a dirt bank out 120 yds, after 5 rds and a few small scope adjustments we could hit it EVERY time.
Next we set up a paper target at 60 yds, after 4 rds to dial it in, proceeded to take the center out of it!
To clarify, all shots were fired off sandbag rests on calm sunny days, no wind at all - ammo used was Federal bulk packed .22LR, 36 grain, copper plated, hollow points. At 60 yds all shots could be covered by a Quarter. Not too bad for a little girls first days of shooting!
Down side - the rifle has a 5 rd magazine and I can't find any extras for sale at any price. I have been told that Mossy 702 plinkster 10 rd mags will fit with minor modifications. Got some, but have not tried to fit them yet.
Do I like the rifle, you bet! Would I recommend it, yes but not till I get another one, (don't want to drive up the price) I'll be watching the sales at Dick's & Gander Mt. this winter. Good Luck, Ken
Anyone own a Remington model 5 .22lr ?
