Rimfire Madness: The Infection Begins

[gmcttr]

Thanks all. There were very few points between several of us. Everyone seems to like the NRL22 format.

This was the course of fire...https://nrl22.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/NRL22_AUG_COF_web.pdf

I managed to squeak out a win in NRL22 tonight.

Due to the earlier sunsets coming we will have to switch to having it on weekends in the next month or two. I'm hoping this will enable some of you to make it down for a match.

Congrats!

I’ve strayed from the madness lately with a wheel gun addiction, but the paths are slowly merging back together. I had an 8” Dan Wesson with the heavy barrel, it was just heavier than I really enjoyed. So I’ve started looking again and my instinct is a S&W, but would like some input from others on other options.

Preferences:
-Ability (factory it aftermarket) to add a red dot, the small pistol style not the tube style
-Most likely a 4” barrel

I’ve seen these recommended before......https://www.jackweigand.com/swhpmnt.html

That is the mount that got me thinking about the red dot idea. Have pick out a revolver first.

I was able to get most of the "Tiffany rifle" finished tonight. Picked up the receiver today. The Kidd barrel was a TIGHT fit. Started by tossing the barrel in the freezer for a few hours. That worked to a point, but was struggling to get the last 1/4 in or so seated.

Of course after texting Turbo in frustration, he told me the obvious (heat the receiver). Propped the receiver in front of a space heater for a few minutes, and with a few light taps, perfectly seated.

Hopefully picking up the stock tomorrow and getting this build buttoned up. Then it's on to my rifle...

Very nice...

Went down to the shop to pick up the stock, but unfortunately it is being reshot. The original color was drying way too dark. Patience is key when working with custom colors.

Here's to hoping! I don't know who is more excited, me or her.

On another note, my birthday was last week and Turbo was poking fun at the fact that I didn't buy a birthday gun. Well here a week late is this little beauty. Beretta 21A in .22LR. I've already ordered a set of maple grips and a wallet holster. Primarily a little pretty range toy, but may get some carry time in environments where carry is 100% frowned upon (work).

I have always enjoyed these small Berettas and I've had them in all 3 calibers.
I sold them all (6 total, counting the Taurus versions), but stumbled across a .32 never shot Inox and had to give it a try, since I always wanted an Inox but wasn't willing to spend the extra to get one.
I literally shot a Bullseye with the 1st shot (20').
I ordered some walnut grips for my own enjoyment and use it, as you say, when CC is problematic, or as a backup.
Just for fun, like yourself, I have wanted to get the Bobcat also, but I need to sell a few guns to indulge.
Months ago I shot a member's Walther PPK (or PPK/S, of similar size to the Bobcat), but did not enjoy it at all, and I was interested in buying it at the time.

Pics of my Beretta Tomcat 3032:

Those Berettas look like neat little pistols! Not bad shooting with the Tomcat considering the small sights. If I could still see open sights decently I'd like to try the 21A 22lr.

My smallest 22lr is a 1971 PPK/S and it shoots fairly well for me. A 7 and 15 yard target:

First thing I did was paint the itty-bitty front sight with red fluorescent paint.
15 yards!!!! Wow! I would usually shoot small pistols at 20' and might venture out to 30', but 45' is beyond my eyes.
I wouldn't even see where I'm hitting.
Wonderful shooting with such a small sight radius at that yardage!

New grips showed up!

That is a good looking rifle. You did a nice job putting that one together.
