Holds half a clothespin accuracy to 75 yards
Green mountain 20 bull with tech sights, bolt is modified to run subsonic ammo no problem
Stupidly fun and cheap. Gets all the corroded ammo/duds/bentbullets from semi guns, fires them like a champ.

Top is a MarkII I bought new in 1986, my first handgun. I bought the 22/45 sometime in the 2000s and later bought the Tac-Sol upper for it. I keep meaning to paint the Aimpoint or put a Tango Down cover on it. The older pistol doesn't get out much anymore but I plan to keep it.

I haven't had this one very long but am quickly becoming fond of it. It's a Ruger American Rimfire compact 22 magnumwith a 2-7 Leupold. In the past I shot a lot of prairie dogs with a Winchester 9422M and I like the cartridge but it's become too valuable for me to knock around in the woods.

It's a Harrington and Richardson Model 999 Sportsman with a 6" barrel. This was the flagship of the H&R top breaks. My dad bought that in the mid to late 70's at a gas station in rural Virginia after his 4" model was stolen from his truck. There's a lot of family history tied to that particular revolver.

Cool. My dad has a H&R 999 just like that. Its a fun gun with a terribly heavy DA trigger.
