I had my 10/22 out at Atterbury in April but couldn't get the thing on paper at 50 yards to sight the scope in. Didn't have time to go to shorter distances... Until today.
Made it out to ECPR for a couple hours this morning. Started off at 7 yards and found it was about 5 inches low and maybe four inches off to the right. Got it hitting my point of aim and then moved my target out to 25 yards. If my memory is working, it was a couple inches low again, but I got it zeroed. Then out to 50ish yards. I think it was still off a bit and I was moving back and forth on windage but seemed to have the elevation right. I saw a shotgun hull and binder clip on the backstop and was able to hit them. I was pretty happy considering this is my first rifle. I didn't keep track, but I think I put around 300 rounds of Federal bulk pack and 50 mini mags through it. I could definitely tell the mini mags were better. I used my range bag on top of the barrel as my shooting rest.
I also had my new Glock 19 Gen 4 out for its second range trip. I shot 90 rounds of S&B and had one failure to eject where the brass got stuck in the ejection port. The gun is really comfortable in my hands; I think it's a keeper!
When I go back again I think I'll buy the 10 visit pass... It's a pretty good deal for someone that isn't out there every week. I really like the atmosphere at ECPR much better than at Atterbury.
