Range Report
Finally got the chance to take the Beretta Neos .22 out to the range this weekend. Mounted a Sig red-dot scope on it that I bought from a friend. I put 450 rounds through it(Remington Viper's, Remington Thunderbolts, CCI Blazer's, CCI Velociter's, CCI Stinger's, and Federal blue box. Was really happy with the cycling and had 0 malfuctions, even when I loaded all 6 mags and rapid-fired the 60 rounds. Was very happy with that. I can't even say the same about my Ruger 22/45. Was also pretty happy with the trigger pull. I was a little disappointed with accuracy, not quite as good as my Ruger. It is definitely acceptable, but I am hoping it gets a little better the more I get it broke in and find the ammo it likes best. In the end I am very happy with this little pistol and it should serve it's intended purpose very well(a good little squirrel/plinking gun).

went to the range today and took only three guns along,, the new little Beretta with the long barrel, never a malfunction, the sights leave a lot to be desired, but managed to keep the shots in a 6 inch circle at 20 yds.
The Smith 686, 2 1/2 inch .357, lotta bang, sorta accurate for that kind of gun,, nothing to brag about
The Smith K.22 masterpiece, model 17 shoots as pictured below,, 20 yds one hand, standing, Ifn I wasnt so old and shakey, I probably could hit the target.[:0]

... yep - I felt the same way about my '95 Cowboy ... until I bought the Guide GS ... and then a second ... I love them all! We have one of the Guides stashed at a neighbor's in Talkeetna and I'm slowly losing control of it - last I heard he had scoped it in the Fall. The one bad thing about Marlin lever Guns is that they are VERY addictive! ... you'll find it very hard to just own one (I've also got'em in .357 & .44Mag.)[:D]0 -
Not a bad range report.
Want to see what it does at 100. [;)]
Or does it not shoot that far? [}:)] [:D][:D]0 -
LOL ... nope ... mine only shoot ping pong ball slugs out to 25'![:D] 0 -
LOL...Figured I will do some shooting and dial it in at 50 and 100 yards next time out when I don't have to tramp through the snow and I have some sandbags(at least ones that I can use) or a steady rest.

We like to keep our reloads light and only (mostly) use the 405gn'ers - J.F.N. (2000 fps / M.E. 3597 ft. lbs.)
Buffalo Bore handles a pretty serious 430 gr. L.B.T.- L.F.N. - G.C. (1925 fps / M.E. 3537 ft. lbs.) It's a super-penetrator load - but there are so few elephants, anymore - hardly seems worth the trouble! [;)]0 -

Thats good to hear and is what I was hoping for after the results I have seen so far. I have a box of Remington 300 gr, winchester 300 gr, and federal 300 gr. that I am going to try in the future. Figured I would use some of this lower pressure stuff for deer because it's cheaper and then try some Buffalo Bore or Garrett ammo on the bigger game. I'm already putting the money away for the stainless version now[:D]
