    I bought my 10/22 because I wanted to run subsonic .22 ammo on bunnies where a measure of discretion was required. I accepted the realities and limitations of both the calibre and the rifle.

    Target-rifle accuracy is not an expectation; misses are most frequently attributable to the shooter (me).

    On the orchard where longer ranges are a reality and noise isn't a worry, I happily use my .22magnum. Much better accuracy.

    But nothing beats the fun of plinking a few tin cans for not much more than $10 for 50 rounds.

    I reckon I've got it right!

    And yes I've tarted up my 10/22 with a choate dragunov stock and intend to talk to @gundoc here about a wee tune-up to at least eliminate/minimise any rifle error whilst keeping it real. It's all fun!!!
