Alot of times when I go to the range and am alone I take 2 guns so when I shoot one the bbl cools while I load and shoot the other. Only down side is ya have 2 muzzys to clean but that doesnt bother me. Kerry

I take 2-3 at a time to the range and spend the day.
This next week I'll take the Trade Rifle and the KRB to have some fun.

I usually take one of my MLs and my .22 Hornet. If I think I'm losing trigger control with abig booming load in theML, I switch to the Hornet for a group or two for a break from recoil andto settle down.

Whenever I just want to have some non recoiling fun, I grab my savage .22 and a box of the remington golds (500 box) and shoot til I'm tired of it. Nothin better than plinking sometimes.

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....
