Thought I would share my gopher rifle with everyone. I bought this 10-22 ruger used over 20 years ago. I had the barrel set back and re chambered to tighter tolerances. the trigger was fine tuned to 2.5 lb. pull. The stock was pretty beat up so I just did a simple krylon paint job. I also took the front barrel band off and glass bedded the action. For many years it had a 3x9 tasco scope on it. It held zero and shot ok. I'm sure the parallax was factory set for 150 yards or so. That's why I don't think it ever shot really great.
Last year I started reading about peep sights. I never had a rifle with peeps so I ordered a set of Tech Sights for it. I bought 300 rounds of CCI target ammo. I zeroed it and shot some groups at 50 yards of the bench. It seemed to shoot really well. I burned through the 300 rounds and for the next year I couldn't find that CCI ammo anywhere. A few days ago my local gun store had a few bricks on the shelf so I took a brick home. Set up at 50 yards again and it still shoots very well. I have shot several 5 shot groups at 50 yards. They all hover around 1" to 1.5" Of course I hade to cherry pick the best group to show.
