On gun screwdrivers:
Brownells and Sinclair International is your friend...
Vans in Brandon may have some....You really need a good set of gunsmith screwdrivers...Wheeler Eng makes a good set. They got em at Surplus City gun range
The Rusty's are NOT rusty...screws are not bad...bolt's easy to take out and clean...biggest problem I've found cleaning is I can not find a bore guide that will fit...so I'm using a 22 boresnake....not my preferred method of cleaning....but it gets the job done..I aint gonna get that "anal" about a $400 22 rifle
best way to "break-in" a 22 is come shoot the hell out of it
you want high rings so you got plenty clearance for the bolt to operate
plus you don't want your objective touching your barrel
get you some burris high rings for 22 with the 1/8 dovetails and you should be good to go...Vans has em...$35 - 40....couple of us "shemmed" ours to make sure we did not run the scope all the way out to be shooting at 100 yards...all that will depend on the scope you bought
My suggestion on ammo would be to "don't bother" with any of the bulk ammo in the big 525 rounds.....its crap...floor sweepings.....and yeah... it matters...
Shoot that with the grandson....for our "friendly competitions", I recommend better ammo...else X-Ring, Mstropyhunter, Captain-03 and Sungunfan gonna be spanking ya...Big Time
Get 7 or 8 different 50 rd boxes of eley, wolf etc and shoot groups to see what your gun likes....its the only way to know...You might get lucky and find it likes Walmart bulk...but I'm betting that aint gonna be the case...and yeah "good" 22 ammo is about $7 - 8 a box....get over it...you oughta try shooting 75 - 100 rds of 308 in a match...talk about an ammo tab....whatever your gun likes...about 1000 rds (2 bricks) oughta last you all year for matches
range can be set up day of match in about 30 min as long as ya'll bring a few target stands....eventually I'll have enough
with all the rain earlier in the week its gonna be muddy in the target area....Cap brought us a big pool cover to lay on the ground to shoot on...its in the target house keeping the rats and mice warm right now
