Don't have any pics, but I mainly shoot with my Marlin Glenfield model 10 single shot. I love shooting the single shot, cause I can shoot those Aguila supermaximums, the super colibris, cb caps, and every other .22lr cartridge. Even rat shot. It is extremely accurate and only weighs a pound and a half at most.

I also have a marlin 60 I shoot with and my FIE E22 handgun. I use them all, but I know I'm most accurate with the marlin 10, so that's the one I use to shoot squirrels, snakes, etc.
As for targets, I have a homemade plinking target with 5 steel targets that rotate when hit. It's just as good as a store bought one. I also found that ice is a great plinking target. It shatters when hit, its practically free, and there's no mess to clean up. Cans and spray paint cans, of course make great targets as well. Something I have done before, is use old, clogged up cans of spray paint or spray foam insulation for targets. They do leave a lot of paint/foam, so it's best to shoot em in an open, unused area.

Cool set up. You ever try those super quiet Aguila rounds?

Have I? I love using them! There's just something about them that makes them fun plinking rounds. I have even used them to hunt squirrels. They can't hear them, so of you miss, you can still get another shot.

Just be forewarned, they ricochet a lot. It's best to shoot them at soft targets. I have even been hit by one when it ricocheted off a log. Thankfully, the low velocity bullet was easily stopped by jeans. They are great, though. They use no powder, so they have about the same power as a pellet gun.

That's scary, but I will probably use a good backstop. Thanks for the warning.

I don't have pics but a couple weeks ago I did a little plinking with my .22. It's a savage model 62 semi-auto mag fed with synthetic stock and Simmons 3-9x30 scope.

I shot some old spray paint cans, some cans of most likely skanky Budweiser, and a can or two of great stuff foam.

The foam is fun to shoot cause it spins in the air and sprays foam all over the place. My 3 yr old son thought it was hilarious.

Sound like a good time. You ever shoot silly string cans? I'm sure your son would like those, they're a pretty fun target.

Its also fun to fill bottles with something flammable (Coleman fluid, lighter fluid, gas, etc.), light a fire near it and shoot it. Also great with butane lighters, just be careful, cause its highly flammable liquids and hot glass shards, of course.

That sounds dangerous and awesome. I think I'm gonna try it!
