RE: which ML to take
When I want to plink I take out myRuger T-22 semi auto pistol with the bull target barrel & my Taurus .22 caliber target revolver and a brick of .22 Wichester Wildcatshells. Then I load all the extra magazines I have for the Rugerand really have a blast. I like to set up a man sized silhouette chunk of paper and do combat style shooting. I waste a lot of ammo, make a lot of noise, but sure have a lot of fun.
I actually have two of the Rugers, but loaned one to my father and like usual, he never loaded it back. That was really fun to shoot off both of them at the same time. 10 rounds in each and just cut loose....
