Sighting in a .22 rimfire for hunting
Just thought I'd get the gangs input on sighting in a couple of my .22 rimfires.
Rifle #1 is a Remington 541-T and I know what it is capable of. So, I'll most likely sight it back in at 50 yards after a recent scope change. It's been my go to .22 for 15 years now.
Rifle #2 will be a Remington Nylon 66 with open sights. The very first rifle I ever bought with my own money right out of high school was a Nylon 66. I took my fair share of squirrels with it back then. I sold it (young & dumb) and wanted one for decades and replaced it several years back. It's now time to get it out in the woods.
Rifle #3 is an old Mossberg 151K (1950-1951 vintage) with a 3x9 Tasco (one of the good ones made in Japan). The trigger is going be the challenge. It's a pretty long pull and gritty.
Thoughts and input on rifles #2 & #3 would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Murphy
