Here is a compilation of my latest shooting with some .22, 12 gauge, and .357/.38. I am just starting to shoot guns regularly, so hopefully these videos will get better as time goes on.
You can have an amazing amount of fun at your indoor or outdoor range with your .22 rifle. Welcome to the Nutnfancy “Circles of Death” .22 (or airgun) Drill or COD. A computer generated sheet with precise 3/8″ circles, stacked in neat rows, provide the target. Plan on using a good scope, preferably one that focus down to close ranges for maximum accuracy (Weaver RV9 shown, recommended still). If you have two shooting lanes then two shooters can compete against each other as shown in a elevated stress rapid fire drill where accuracy will win the day. My favorite gun in these drills is the .22 bolt action rifle. The Marlin 925 is one of the best in the world I think: ultra smooth, fast, holds 10 rounds (with the Marlin 10 rd mag purchased separately), has a great trigger (T900), is amazingly accurate with its Micro Groove rifling (really works), lightweight, has a perfect barrel profile, and is extremely affordable. In this vid, this quintessential and personal favorite .22 bolt gun goes up against the also excellent CZ 452 “American.” The quality levels in terms of finish in the 452 are higher: gorgeous walnut stock with sharp checkering and an amazing bluing job. It also has a great trigger and top notch accuracy. However in this drill its bolt manipulation is a distant second when binding is encountered and a special techinque is needed to achieve the faster speeds of the Marlin 925. Polishing the bolt and components may help slick it up (however that shouldn’t be needed …
Well, this is one of the final standard-def videos to be posted to the OKFirearms Channel–HD coming January 2010! We took the TRG-22 out to the range on a cold, rainy day here in Oklahoma to test some new handloads and see how the mechanism and scope performed in inclement weather. After a few tweaks of the scope, we dialed it in and I shot a sweet 10-shot group from 350 yards. The handload was 42 grains of MR 4064 powder with a 168 grain Sierra BTHP. We also used two cameras and walkies to try and capture the realtime shooting experience for the video. Sure beats walking downrange to look at targets!
I was out shooting and decided to do a little target work @ 100 yards. believe it or not, i actually only fired the six shots shown in the video at the target! I only missed the 12″ X 12″ target with one round. I was pleased but have a lot of improving to do. Please stay tuned for some 200 yard shooting with my same Ruger Super Redhawk ,44 Magnum (7.5″ barrel). Ammo is the stuff I outlined verbally in the video. I thank my good friend Steven for the camera work. Thanks for watching, everyone!

A quick glimpse into my September 2010 trip to the local gun club, where 2 friends and I shot a few of our various rifles and handguns. We shot a Ruger 10/22, Remington 22, Savage Arms 243, Ruger Mini-14 (223), Ruger LCR (38 revolver), Smith & Wesson Model 63 (22 revolver), and a Ruger SP101 (357 Magnum). I love going to the range!
